Heal Yourself & Move #25 w/ Jonny Nash & House Of Traps
Edinburgh’s very own suppliers of otherworldly music for the dance and beyond since 2004, Firecracker Recordings present a night of outernational oddities, chasmic rattlers and sleekit curveballs!
—-> Jonny Nash (MAT / Melody As Truth / Island Of The Gods)
—-> House Of Traps (Firecracker / Unthank / Island Of The Gods)
Jonny Nash began his career whilst living in Japan during the 2000’s, releasing his first records on Kenji Takimi’s seminal label Crue-l. Relocating to London, Nash released a number of records on Lovefingers ESP Institute before starting Melody As Truth in 2014 as an outlet for his work.
Nash also works closely with the Amsterdam label Music From Memory, releasing a solo album for the label, entitled “Make A Wilderness” in 2019. He was also released two albums on MFM as Gaussian Curve alongside Gigi Masin and Marco Sterk aka Young Marco in 2015 and 2017.
In 2018 Lindsay Todd (House Of Traps) collaborated with Jonny on their album ‘Fauna Mapping’. Spending time amidst the insects, rice fields and scorching sun of Bali, the pair gathered a library of found sounds which were then taken back to a studio space to be stretched, mangled and manipulated alongside a variety of electronic and acoustic instruments. The outdoor studio itself became a living instrument, with the duo setting up multiple microphones for durations of up to 12 hours around the space, layering and processing the results in tracks such as “Fauna Mapping” and “A Series Of Small Frogs”.
Aside from working on joint studio projects the two are no stranger to DJing together in various dives worldwide. It’s also a little known fact that Jonny is an Edinburgh native, being exposed to Pure at The Venue at a young age. Also an early devotee of the infamous Cybernetic Broadcasting System … so don’t let the tranquil tones and soothing minimalism of Jonny’s studio projects misguide you … this pair will well and truly batter it out in any style that takes their fancy!
