Holocene and Spend the Night present: Romare – w/ Natasha Kmeto (DJ set) – 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. Natasha Kmeto is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, DJ and producer from Portland, OR. Kmeto weaves dreamy dancefloor hits with influences from soul, R&B, electronic music, and pop. Her songs are emotional, honest, and open in their sharp lyricism, over fierce, dynamic rhythms and beats that keep dancefloors pulsing. Natasha Kmeto’s music deals with the timely message of living in today’s world as a queer woman. Over the years, Kmeto has embraced her identity wholly, interweaving the struggles but also the pleasures of her life into her songs. By telling her personal story, Kmeto brings listeners into her world and elevates the important voices of the LGBTQ community.
Spend the Night Presents: Nikki Nair x Hudson Mohawke: Set the Roof Tour – 21+
Advance tickets are now sold out. There will be a limited number of spots available at the door when we open at 9pm night of show.Hudson Mohawke and Nikki Nair join forces on the joint EP, Set The Roof, dropped in May of 2023 on Warp Records on a chipmunk USB stick and DSPs. Following a huge year for both artists that saw Hudmo release, Cry Sugar, his acclaimed third full-length album, and dominate TikTok for a few weeks with his accidental anthem for bad sex (Cbat). Meanwhile Atlanta stalwart Nikki Nair continued to garner notability, releasing with highly regarded labels such as Studio Barnhus, Future Classic, VISION, and a remix of Caroline Polacheck’s “Bunny Is A Rider.” This EP spawned from a number of hang outs in Hudmo’s Healthfarm studio in Echo Park, Los Angeles — an eerie and funky place to forge what became THE club weapon of the year. The track has been destroying crowds in the tracklist of Bjork, VTSS, Lala, Salute and many more. The title track “Set The Roof” uses a stem of famed writer Tayla Parx, kept from prior sessions but here, mutated into a tweaky, skippy slice of garage with the trademark clarity of Mohawke’s sonics molten with Nair’s playful genre-crossing use of hardware. By the end of 2023 “Set The Roof” was featured in many prominent media outlets as one of the “Best Tracks of 2023” including Pitchfork, Crack Mag, The Guardian, and Resident Advisor to name a few. Hudmo and Nair finished off the year performing together for a run of shows in Europe in November, including a fabled set at Boiler Room Festival in Berlin on November 17th. On their forthcoming US Tour they look to continue mesmerizing peak-time dance floors of any size with not only club bangers but also weird and completely unexpected track selections.Sign up to receive the artist presale code and grab tix early!: https://bit.ly/NikkiXHudmoTour
