Night Music x Palidrone: Djrum, Loraine James (live), object blue
Sneaky Pete’s and Palidrone present a one-off ‘Night Music’ electronic music showcase at Edinburgh’s Fruitmarket featuring Djrum, Loraine James (live) and object blue on 15th April. This will be the debut electronic music event at Fruitmarket’s new Warehouse space, under the eaves of Jyll Bradley’s awe-inspiring installation ‘Pardes’, an immersive meditation upon the inter-connectedness of nature, culture, people and place, making it a truly one-off sound and light experience.
About the performers:
Djrum is an artist in his own personal and bewitching universe. Perennially acclaimed by critics and peers, he’s now exciting a wider audience since his extraordinary live stream from atop London’s Tower Bridge. A technically gifted three-deck turntablist with production chops to match, he deftly fuses jazz, hip hop, techno, electro, dubstep and jungle.
London electronic experimental artist Loraine James is breaking the mould of a predominantly white male IDM scene. Her stunning hybrid sound meshes IDM with R&B, jazz and drill influences. It’s chopped and screwed but honest, bare and emotional. Her two recent albums on Hyperdub, ‘For You & I’ and ‘Reflection’, made it to many notable end of year lists. Hers is an anomalous voice in the next generation of UK dance music.
object blue is a Tokyo-born experimental club DJ and producer who straddles dancefloor and avant-garde techno. With links to fashion and experimental art worlds, she’s like no one else. Her string of EPs to date have been supported by i-D, Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, The FACE, Dazed, CRACK, Mixmag, DJ Mag. As a remixer, she’s stamped her identity reimagining the sounds of artists from diverse scenes such as Murlo, Jasper James and Seb Wildblood. She soundtracked Vivienne Westwood’s SS20 show at Paris Fashion Week and was invited to DJ at the iconic Smithfields Market as part of fabric’s incredible ‘London Unlocked’ stream series.
About the organisers:
Sneaky Pete’s is the home of new and exciting music in Edinburgh, voted best grassroots music venue in the UK and 99th best nightclub in the world. Not bad for a 100-cap Cowgate hole in the wall. Although they have expanded to host many events in other venues and festivals in recent years, this is the first away-game for ‘Night Music’, their long-standing series of electronic showcases that have previously hosted dozens of artists including Machinedrum, Laurel Halo, Koreless, Palmbomen II, Com Truise and Blanck Mass.
Palidrone is a genre-fluid party series taking residence across various venues in Edinburgh, with previous editions welcoming city debuts from boundary-pushing electronic acts such as Giant Swan (live) and Errorsmith. Adding to other sell-out events with DJ Stingray, DMX Krew, Josey Rebelle, SPFDJ and more, they were tipped as one of DJ Mag’s Top 10 Club Nights in the world October 2019.
