Description
Manchester-born techno honcho Setaoc Mass leads a night of heady techno. As the boss behind the SK_Eleven and SK_X labels, he’s put forth some of the best, most crisply-defined tracks in the modern landscape. His productions and sets are marked by a carefully attuned economy of means, getting the most impact out of a handful of expertly crafted elements. But that doesn’t mean he’s fussy. Setaoc Mass’ technical acumen is always in service of pure emotion and embodied experience. The same could be said for Japanese deep techno paragon Haruka. An affiliate of DJ Nobu’s Future Terror parties, Haruka is about as accomplished a DJ as you can find. Mixing cold-blooded, reptilian synths with thundering 909 rhythms, Haruka draws out a mood with peerless deliberateness and masterful patience. Lychee represents NY psychedelia. The Antidote founder’s years of digging have coalesced into a vision of dance music that includes dubwise reverberance, woozy bass undertow and moments of explosive club transcendence.
Tommy Hart brings a splash of color to STUDIO. The Mexico City-based artist espouses an ethos of healing and communal bliss. He’s a natural sonic storyteller, letting each track serve its purpose and weaving a tapestry that amounts to far more than the sum of its parts. Anastazja makes her debut. The global house breakout extends classic legacies of club glamor and cultural cross pollination. An affiliate of Soulection, Anastazja embraces a boundless approach that criss-crosses borders and genres in favor of pure groove. Saia joins the pair, also stepping into the booth for the first time. The Diva Diva organizer - tagline “a diva walks into the room” - and artist FKA Haiek highlights the freakiest side of disco and its many children. Prepare for full naughtiness; Saia delivers a masterclass in lusty liberation.
