At the start of this year I fell in with a new crowd – that of the musically inclined - and so far it seems like their sole mission of the friendship is to educate me in the world of electronic beats and take me on excursions to see their favourite artists. One such excursion has been the sole discussion and cause of excitement for the group since it was announced a couple of months ago – the Daedelus show.
Brought to Australia by Silo Arts and Mistletone, the Daedelus tour has been a long time coming and as such the vibe by my friends – and all electronic music lovers - is fairly euphoric. The Los Angeles artist is famed for his all-encompassing talent as a producer, an instrumentalist and a beat maker, making his live shows something to put on your bucket list (apparently). His latest album Bespoke was full of signature genre defying compositions, which he is sure to showcase on the night along with other select danceable tunes from his discography.
Supporting him are two local producers who are both fast rising in the Brisbane electronic scene - Outerwaves will be launching his EP Cosmic Triggers, whilst Tincture will be showcasing new tracks throughout his set. Also performing on the night are Dank Morass DJs, and a joint set between Dot.AY and Rubijaq.
If you’re anything like my friends, then I’m sure you already have tickets for this masterful gig. And if you’re more like me, then perhaps you need to find a new musical crowd to educate you as well.
