Off The Record

One of the most exciting emerging artists in the contemporary deep house scene, Ten Walls will make his Sydney debut this November. First rising to prominence in 2013 after dropping his Gotham EP on Berlin’s seminal Innervisions label (of which the title track was one of the most ubiquitous releases of the year), the Lithuanian’s two following EPs Requiem and Walking With Elephants have seen him go from strength to strength. He’ll be performing his live show at The Oxford Art Factory on Friday November 14. Highly recommend.

It’s been a while between drinks, but thankfully Future Classic’s all night party Adult Disco is returning next month. Leading the charge behind the decks will be the UK’s LXURY. The South London DJ/producer first burst upon the scene in July last year with his debut track J.A.W.S which was co-produced with Disclosure, and has since turned out remixes for the likes of Jungle, CHVRCHES and Hot Natured and released his Playground EP through European label legends Greco-Roman. It goes down on Saturday October 4 at The Imperial Hotel from 10pm until very, very late.

Speaking of Future Classic, Sydney lads Seekae will drop their third full-length album titled The Worry via the label this Friday September 12. If you can’t wait until then, Resident Advisor are hosting an exclusive stream of the entire record all week. Top marks.

Tour rumours: I’m told that we can be expecting from one of Detroit’s finest (and my personal all-time favourite producer) Kenny Dixon Jr. aka Moodymann this summer, as will be the four man DJ club collective Horse Meat Disco while rising techno luminary Mary Velo is said to be making her debut voyage Down Under next month.

Romanian DJ Raresh has been revealed as the selector for 78th edition in fabric’s CD mix series. His call up follows mixes from his [a:rpia:r] label cohorts Petre Inspirescu (fabric 68) and Rhadoo (fabric 72). fabric 68 will feature tracks from the likes of Renato Figoli, Amir Alexander, Dilated Pupils and Andy Kolwes, and will be released on Monday October 20.

Best releases this week: Dopplereffekt and Objekt have teamed up to release Hypnagogia on Life of Leisure, and Objekt’s B-side Ganzfeld is arguably the best cut the Berliner has ever produced. Other highlights include DJ Fett Burger & Luca Lozano’s Hands of Doom (on Sex Tags UFO), Portable’s Sportable (on Perlon), Roman Flügel’s Happiness is Happening (on Dial) and Ital’s full-length release Endgame (on Planet Mu).
