Overview
First they housed a gaol, then an art school, and now, for the first time ever, Forbes Street's legendary sandstone walls will be surrounding an outdoor summer dance club. Over several Sundays between January 11 and February 22, Astral People will be bringing a serious dose of electronic talent — both local and international — to the National Art School for extended afternoon-evening sessions. So, if you've been holed up all winter partying in warehouses and underground caves, it's time to salute the sun.
Each event will feature at least three DJs on the bill. From the US, there's the outspoken Moodymann (a.k.a. Kenny Dixon Jr.), Detroit-based techno and house producer Omar-S, leader of Motown resurgence House Shoes and weekend-mischief creators Mister Saturday Night. Meanwhile, DJ EZ will be bringing his combo of old skool and new skool garage, bass and underground house from the UK, while Ukrainian DJ Vakula will be taking care of the deep house and experimental side of things. Thirteen more locally-sourced acts, including Tornado Wallace, Andras Fox, Simon Caldwell and Otologic, round out the lineup.
