Overview

Young Magic's silken, psychedelic sounds originated in New York as the sonic brainchild of Indonesian vocalist Melati Malay and Australian producer Isaac Emmanuel. They recorded their two albums, 2012's Melt and this year's Breathing Statues, whilst traipsing through Morocco, France, the Czech Republic and Iceland, and have performed at Austin Psych Fest, The Brooklyn Museum, and Berghain — the Berlin club capital of cool, techno and decadence. All of that, of course, meaning they're making good progress on their self-proclaimed status as "aspriring planet wanderers."

Now, Malay and Emmanuel are bringing their sometimes lush and dreamy, sometimes explosive beats to our little corner of that planet. Take a listen to 'Fall In' or 'Holographic' to get in the heavenly, space-agey mood, and pick out your most mysterious- and ethereal-looking outfit. This'll be a night of floaty dancing and wanderlust.
