Electronic: New Guernica host camo-themed party, Honeysmack leads Raw Power, and enjoy 56 blissful minutes with Four Tet

This Friday October 13, New Guernica is preparing for WWIII with a camo-themed party called Frontline. There’s hard out techno in the main room with locals Sundelin, Caspian, Bec Grenfell and Fossick, while in the kitchen side room InDeep Entertainment are taking over with LMD, Morley, Tali, Tom Williamson, Tim Weston, Matt Newman and Owen Lawrence throwing deep house cuts around.

 

Up north ways, Warg and Green Fetish Records are bringing the heat with a night called RAW POWER before they head off to showcase their wares at Amsterdam Dance Event next week. On board for the send-off is none other than Honeysmack, Melbourne’s king of acid house, with selectors Matt Radovich, Caine Sinclair, Mickey Nox and Spez backing him up. Kicks off at 10pm.

 

On Saturday October 14, Lucid is hosting Canadian DJ/producer DJ Zozi aka D. Tiffany. It’s only been bang-on six months since Zozi was in Australia having performed at this year’s Inner Varnika festival and Lucid back in April, and weirdly she’s back again for Animals Dancing’s New Years Day 2018 party too. I guess she likes it here, and I’m certainly not gonna complain. Zozi is her more experimental alias, throwing in jungle and breaks amongst syrup-ey chords and lush samples. So go open your earholes to some new sounds. Locals Roza Terenzi, Miranda, Seb Marcu and 6am At The Garage are on board for the ride too. Get down to Lounge from 10pm.

 

For my last paragraph, I’m going to talk about Four Tet. Not because he’s playing this week (I wish), but because I’m a massive fan and his new album New Energy is, in my opinion, his best work for some time. It’s 56 minutes of bliss, winding through cleverly arranged percussion loops, ambient wobbly synths pads, vocal samples that don’t make words, crackly vinyl samples, soaring arpeggiator synths. Champagne Four Tet in other words. It’s my absolute jam. If any of that appeals to you, or if you were a fan of his older albums like There Is Love In You then I urge you to give it go. And while I’m at it, Go listen to Bicep’s self-titled album that came out last month if you haven’t yet. That is a very good album. Loving it.
