SonReal “All Things Aside” Tour w/ Michael Minelli, Bocha – All Ages
SonReal is a Canadian singer, songwriter, rapper and visual artist with years of international touring, more than a dozen award nominations, 130 million video views and over 350 million global streams to his credit. Bursting onto the scene with the quirky, now-viral video sensation “Everywhere We Go”(36M views), SonReal and his team set a high bar for visual content and songwriting. The Double Platinum-certified single “Can I Get A Witness” was the first indication that SonReal had more to say as a songwriter and more to accomplish as an artist. His previous projects, “The Aaron LP” and “Nobody’s Happy All The Time”, are the culmination of this creative journey to align the artist persona of SonReal with the songwriter and person, Aaron Hoffman-every song is a deeply relatable look into the person behind the music. In support of this new body of work SonReal set out on his “Nobody’s Happy All The Time Tour” last year, covering over 30 cities across North America and garnered acclaim from Wonderland, NOTION, 1883 Magazine & more. This year, SonReal went completely independent and dropped a new mixtape “Pages” and kickstarted the rollout for his forthcoming album “All Things Aside” due for release August 2024.

Holocene and Spend the Night Present… Romare w/ Andy Warren – 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, channeling 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 bands — but 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.
NAMASENDA W/ DAMON R. – 21+
Namasenda started her career within the swedish punk rock scene but later found pop/electro. In fall 2016 she was a part of the first round of Red Bull Sound Select in Sweden. The project took her to LA and the festival 30 days in LA, where she got to perform with RnB star Dej Loaf. On january 21st 2017, only 5 months after her debut release, Namasenda stood on stage at P3 Guld Awards that was broadcasted live on Swedish television as well as radio. The performance, a crazy pink inferno, has been praised by many in the business as the most interesting performance at the award show. Six months later her debut EP Hot_Babe_93 was released, 5 tracks filled with euphoric 90s infused bubblegum bass. This is what led her to the attention of A.G. Cook, producer and head of record label PC Music. Namasenda and A.G. started working together in 2018. The collaboration quickly led to her being signed to PC Music with mixtape Unlimited Ammo produced by A.G. Cook being released 2021. In fall 2022 she went on her first headline tour in Europe with a handful of sold out shows. In 2023 she signed with Swedish label YEAR0001 and released her second EP Ambrosia. damon r. is a musician and visual artist currently based in Los Angeles, CA.
