Spend The Night presents: Move Dhttp://residentadvisor.net/dj/movedhttps://www.discogs.com/artist/838-Move-Dhttps://soundcloud.com/move-dShi Shihttps://soundcloud.com/djshishiiii Move D, aka David Moufang, is one of modern electronic musicʼs most beloved souls with a long and varied musical history with roots in the 60s and 70s jazz, psychedelic, rock, soul and early electronica.Making his first appearance on vinyl as part of a school bands competition in 1983, it was only another four years before he started toying with the medium as a DJ, playing funk, soul, hip-hop, and proto-house. In the 90s things began to move fast with the inception of his Source Records imprint, early productions (including the debut Move D LP ʻKunststoffʼ – Source Records, 1994) and the beginnings of a 26 album relationship with a close friend, the late Pete Namlook. Since then, Moufang has become an unassuming heavyweight in house music as a producer for countless forward-thinking labels, a collaborator and a truly original selector. His discography is long and impressive and holds releases on a broad variety of labels such as Source, Modern Love, Workshop, Smallville, Warp, Running Back, Uzuri and Electric Minds among others plus collaborations and involvements in projects like Magic Mountain High (w. Juju & Jordash) and Reagenz (w. Jonah Sharp).Not one to slack off, his live and Dj performances have been on par with (if not superior to) his studio work, pulling from all corners of his diverse catalog to create an experience that attacks the hips and head in equal measure. His releases touch on house conventions but are delivered in his inimitable style, leaving everyone – from longtime fans to the uninitiated— with their jaws on the floor and their hands in the air.

Saloli (album release show!) w/ Patricia Wolf, Lou Trove – Early show! – 21+

Portland pianist Mary Sutton second’s full-length for Kranky delves deeper into her roots as a Cherokee Nation citizen (Saloli, pronounced like “slowly,” is the Cherokee word for ‘squirrel’). The album is intended to evoke “a day in the life of a bear in a canyon in the Smoky Mountains,” with each track channeling a different emotion or experience in its daily explorations. As with her 2018 debut, The Deep End, the entirety of Canyon was composed and performed live on a Sequential Circuits MultiTrak synthesizer – but this time routed through a delay pedal. This refraction adds a lyrical spatial quality, as though “echoing off canyon walls.” It’s music both gentle and adventurous, curiously rooting through soils and streams, in a sustained state of discovery. In Cherokee teachings, humans and animals are considered to have no essential difference – originally, all the creatures of the earth lived together in harmony. Canyon captures shades of this Edenic notion across eight elegant pieces, alternately meandering, pensive, playful, and pure. Sutton’s playing, as always, is dexterous and dimensional, mirroring the dazzled senses of its muse. “Saloli’s miniatures shiver with crystalline arabesques of ice.” – Tiny Mix Tapes “…gorgeous: fluid, warm, and reassuringly down to earth. Instead of atmospheric sublimity, it’s keyed to the humility of the human form at its most vulnerable.” – PitchforkPatricia Wolf is a musician, sound designer, field recordist residing in Portland, Oregon. Wolf’s work sonically unites natural and modern worlds, integrating ecological sources into her minimalist compositions. Using melody and repetition she lures listeners to her hypnotic inner space, conjuring vivid textures and atmospheres imbued with emotion. Her debut album, I’ll Look For You In Others was released in February 2022 on Past Inside The Present and was quickly followed up by her 2nd LP See-Through which was released on the Catalan label, Balmat.Lou Trove is the nom de plume for Adam Torres’ new experimental ambient / electronic music project, which features the sounds and textures of digital mellotron flute to narrate incisive compositions inspired by precious gemstones. Aesthetically and thematically sparkly, Lou Trove makes music for meditation, hearing as seeing, and for adventures of the imagination.

AMBAR LUCID – Estrella Tour: Part 2

Body of Light – w/ Secret Attraction, Physical Wash – 21+

Formed in 2012 in the wasted sands of Tempe, Arizona, electronic dance faction Body of Light have proven to be a teeming creative force within the present-day electronic landscape. As the archaic drones and abstract measurements of their earliest collections have evolved into to prodigious cinematic pop ballads and darkwave compositions, it’s clear that the two brothers, Alex and Andrew Jarson, are no strangers to blurring the compositional lines that confine underground music. Having worked together and separately over the years within the folds of the co-founded Ascetic House collective, Alex and Andrew have given life to a variety of projects such as Otro Mundo, Blue Krishna, Somali Extract, and Memorymann, and also have unveiled over a dozen visual, audio, and written works under various other monikers. Body of Light is simply another extension of their exercised method of immediate and natural experimentation. After previous releases on Chondritic Sound and Ascetic House including Follow The Current, Lustre, Universal Sin, Volantà Di Amore, and Limits of Reason, Body of Light teamed up with Dais Records for their 2016 LP Let Me Go. This release shows the bands evolved sound from embryonic ideas to fully-realized synth-pop anthems and erotic aesthetics. Let Me Go came full circle under the production guidance of engineer Ben Greenberg (Uniform/ The Men), and each song follows the next with lucid moments of catharsis and romanticism that pull from their self-conscious mysticism and lawless spiritual hedonism. Hesitant to define themselves strictly as a “synth-pop” collaboration, the brothers incorporate a wide variety of components into Body of Light’s sound. They attempt to formulate an unparalleled artistic direction filled with decay, warped tape loops, aging VHS home-movie sound samples from their childhood, primitive waveforms, and processed vocals tinged with harmonic specters. Their aim is to utilize past and present technologies in a way that feels unique, honest and sensible.with support from Secret Attraction and Physical Wash

Dance Yourself Clean – An Indie dance party – 21+ event

Lo Fives, Mini Blinds, Public Pleasure – 21+

Lo Fives is a garage rock band from Portland, OR. Their fuzzy guitars and frenzied drums evoke a DIY aesthetic that captures a PNW basement studio with ample amounts of vitamin D. Lo Fives is an analog band in a digital world that harkens back to time-honored underground rock tropes in the vein of Swell Maps or Mission of Burma, despite the trends that may come and go.Formed as a duo in Portland, OR in late 2015, both Beth Ann Dear (Appendixes) and Devin Welch (Shoplifting, Past Lives, Vice Device, Appendixes) have been playing music in the Pacific Northwest in some form for most of their lives. Drawing influences from 90s female fronted alt-rock, 80s British twee & shoegaze, the Paisley Underground, and K records, they have created a sound with many layers and a common thread. In 2016 they released their first 8 song album “Air Signs”. The songs were bouncy and minimal, held together by layers of analog drum machines. In September 2018 the group released their EP ‘Dust’. Over time a natural evolution in the sound of the band has developed. Joined by Quin Dickinson (Jet Man Jet Team, Kingdom of The Holy Sun, Appendixes, Soft Shadows, and solo project Warm Static) on drums in early 2019 their sound has become much more dreamy and slightly harder and eerie with propulsive drums and more guitar feedback and noise. Since the pandemic the band has been working on writing their third collection of songs in hopes to release it sometime in late 2023 or early 2024. Mini Blinds have been on multiple Pacific Northwest tours and played notable music festivals such as PDXPop, Spokane’s VolumeFest, Homiefest, Mississippi Street Fair and Treefort Music Fest. Public Pleasure weaves shrieking feedback, distorted drones, and buzz saw guitar hooks into discordant yet approachable pop structures. Calmly provocative vocals float atop the maelstrom, riffing off of pop culture reference points while contemplating queerness and disenchantment at the end of the world.

Alessandro Cortini – w/ Amulets – 21+

PLEASE NOTE: This show was previously scheduled to take place on October 3rd, 2023. All tickets purchased for that date will be honored for the rescheduled date of March 4th, 2024. Italian musician, producer, composer and instrument builder Alessandro Cortini is one of the foremost figures of contemporary electronic music. A longstanding member of Nine Inch Nails, Cortini has been releasing a steady stream of his own heady music on luminary labels including Mute and Important Records for the past decade. Balancing dark ambience with smokey, pulsing rhythms, his compositions are perfectly restrained, textured and mesmeric. In 2021, in collaboration with boutique synth builders Make Noise, Cortini released his own, custom designed, semi-modular synth, Strega (Italian for ‘witch’). That same year, he used Strega to build his latest full length, Scuro Chiaro (Mute), which Pitchfork described as “pitched somewhere between purgatory and the planetarium […] consistently managing to thrill and surprise”. Throughout his shadowy rise to fame, Cortini has collaborated with the likes of Lawrence English, Daniel Avery and Merzbow (to name a few).with local support from Amulets

Hyphen Hyphen – w/ Seance Crasher – Early show! – 21+

HYPHEN HYPHEN : AWARD WINNING TRIO AND GIRL-FRONTED, QUEER POP/ROCK BAND WITH A STRONG MESSAGE Hailing from the coastal town of Nice, Southern France, meet the explosive Hyphen Hyphen and their uncompromising performance 🔥 Bridging the French Riviera and California, the Award-winning pop/rock trio HYPHEN HYPHEN released their third album “C’est La Vie” in January 2023, followed by stadium banger “Too Young” which was TF1’s official song for the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 in July. This new album is full of prestigious collaborations such as Glen Ballard (6 times Grammy Awards winner) on “Don’t wait for me” ; or mix engineers Mark «Spike» Stent (Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, etc.) and Dan Grech (Lana del Rey, Moby) marking the first time either of them had worked with a French artist. Armed with such an impressive cast, this third album is also the most personal for Hyphen Hyphen. Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/HYPHENHYPHEN/ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/hyphenhyphen/?hl=fr Youtube :https://www.youtube.com/user/HYPHENHYPHENofficialwith local support from Seance Crasher! The newest single from Seance Crasher (the recording alias of Portland musician, Kevin Rafn) is about the stranger on the other end of the crisis line. “Charlie” is the disembodied voice we cling to when we’re lost, like a flashlight sweeping the dark.t’s also an extremely catchy, danceable homage to 1980s pop, complete with three synthesizers and a heavily reverbed tom solo. These elements might seem incongruous on first blush, but they’re situated in a tradition. Think: Tears for Fears meets Purple Rain. “I appreciate that kind of contrast,” says Rafn. “Serious subject, upbeat backtrack.”The song’s producer, Cam Spies, (Reptaliens, The Shivas, Radiation City), acknowledges the full-on throwback of the sound. This is not a daylight track. It’s midnight. “There’s steam coming from a sewer grate. There’s a sax player in a tunnel.” But as closely as “Charlie” hues to that sound, the high-stakes narrative delivered by Rafn’s dreamy vocals (backed by Lia Gist) produces a kind of interior dissonance that restrains the song from all-out kitsch.”It’s autobiographical,” Rafn says. “It’s about the narrator’s perceived intimacy with that stranger on the other end.” One lyric goes, ‘I hear his voice / though I know he didn’t have a choice,’ and therein lies the rub. For the archetypal “Charlie,” answering the phone might be a calling, but at the end of the day it’s also a job.The cover art by Kevin’s brother, Daniel Rafn bears an oblique resemblance to the Betamax sleeve for Miami Vice, but was in fact directly lifted from the most recent edition of the Diagnostic Statistical Manual, a corresponding ’80s nostalgia tying the music to its theme (while inadvertently commenting on the state of psychiatry). Other contributors include Alexander Thomas on percussion, and photos by Todd Walberg.”Charlie” signals a shift from the psychedelic rock riffs of Seance Crasher’s previous records, toward more focused instrumentation with a solidly 1980s sound. This song will be lodged in your ear long after you’ve stopped listening.
