Holocene & Spend The Night Present: Romare DJ Set – w/ Ben Tactic – 21+
As Romare, Archie Fairhurst’s working practice is rooted in collage, building vivid new forms out of existing material. Playful and immediate, but also deeply researched and compelling, his albums and performances reaching back to 2012 unfurl as a patchwork of inspirations and obsessive lines of enquiry made up of a global panoply of source material. The clue is in the name– Fairhurst called himself Romare in tribute to Romare Bearden, the lauded American multi-disciplinary artist most renowned for his incisive collages. In Bearden’s process Fairhurst saw a way to approach the infinite pool of electronic music production, channelling his wealth of music knowledge into creating music from existing sonic material and bedding themes into his juxtapositions for a more considered approach to sampling. No music lover sticks on one sound their whole lives, and so naturally Fairhurst’s areas of focus have evolved over time from the breakout impact of his 2012 debut on Black Acre, Meditations On Afrocentrism, through a run of albums on Ninja Tune reaching up to 2020’s reflection on place and belonging, Home. Projections is a direct homage to Bearden’s work, and the Love Songs releases draw on the rich seam of romantic music as a jump-off point. Having lived a nomadic life himself growing up, his source material has moved around over time, but increasingly the sampling becomes more opaque and enmeshed within other instrumentation which rounds out the Romare sound. 2022’s Fantasy expands on that idea with a more abstract approach, folding elements from 1970s fantasy cinema into his distinctive strain of rhythmic, off-centre electronica and heralding the start of his own label, You See. For all the considered concepts and unusual arrangements, Romare’s music is dance music at heart, and it remains a natural transplant into the live and club environment. At times Fairhurst has pulled together a full line-up to render his music on stage– something of a call back to his roots playing guitar and drums in bandsbut elsewhere he’s at home sequencing and arranging his music solo, re-moulding album material in the moment with the flexibility which dance music so often requires. Equally, he has DJ’d prolifically around the world with an omnivorous approach which serves as a logical extension of his studio craft, balancing hidden corners of historical investigation with the kinetic impulse of modern club music.

Tommy Oeffling w/ Sit Pretty- 21+
Tommy Oeffling makes his music in a bedroom on the second floor of a rather unassuming duplex in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and you can tell. You can hear every step he takes, every creak of his chair, every flubbed guitar part, and every breath he takes in his recordings, and he likes it that way. He wants it to feel human, and purely from himself and his upbringing; his music calls back to the CDs his Dad burnt onto an iPod Nano gifted to him for Christmas when he was eleven, and he feels it’s supposed to. Some call it nostalgic. He can’t tell. He also doesn’t really care. He’s currently in school to be a high school history teacher. He likes cooking dinner for his friends and going on half marathon-long walks a whole lot more than music. And you can tell that, as well. Some call it slacker rock, and they’re not wrong. His music comes across as if he just so happened to make it, and that’s exactly what makes it. His new album, “Picture of Health,” is out June 6th, 2025. Its ten tracks total to a mere 34 minutes, and its theme is just as simple; it’s really nothing more than an album about being twenty, made by a twenty-year-old. And you can tell.
