Sebastian Mullaert’s Circle of Live

By

Live collaborations, improvisation and solo explorations – all night long!

Circle Of Live is a brand new, live acts only, event series concept and a record label curated by Sebastian Mullaert, honoring the values of spontaneity and improvisation. Each live experience is unhindered from any formal structure, allowing both performers and audience to explore the boundaries of improvisation in all of its raw beauty. Those extended all night long freeform improvised jam sessions comprise of both collaborative and solo performances, with no set times decided in advance, allowing both audience and performers to stay curious and be fully present in the moment. Using Sebastian’s specially designed live setup which can accommodate any number of participants performing all at once, the artists are encouraged to collaborate as much or as little as they like, forging a truly organic experience for all involved.

“The main intention with Circle Of Live is to inspire people to improvise; let their life be an improvisation; a spontaneous expression of life. In one perspective this is a concept with clear visions and definitions but at the same time the core aim of the project is to allow both us, the artists, and the audience to drop concepts and habitual patterns in the creative process of dance and music.” – Sebastian Mullaert

You Had To Be There

By

 

Picture yourself at a house party where nobody had their phones out and everyone was dancing and living in the moment. That’s what this is. And when your friends ask you how was the party? You Had To Be There.

Music: Hip Hop, R&B, Top 40, Dancehall, Afrobeats, Reggaeton, Dance & more!

You Had To Be There is a phone-free party. In order to maintain this environment, all phones will be placed in pouches upon entering the venue. Guests maintain possession of their phones throughout the event and pouches do not block cell signal or texts; so your messages and likes will still be there when you exit. We want to eliminate all the distractions of the world in your device and make sure you focus solely on enjoying our party environment. Unplug. Forget capturing the moment for your social media friends that aren’t here and when they ask, just let them know You Had To Be There.

Get Lost NYC

By

Damian Lazarus works tirelessly to transform the modern party with Get Lost and Day Zero, fine tuning the medium to craft alternate realities that push the boundaries of celebration. Today we reveal the details and lineup for Get Lost’s NYC debut, a marathon two day event at Knockdown Center October 11-12, welcoming live acts and selectors at the forefront of underground electronic music.

Fostered as an intimate after-hours alternative amongst the growing commercialism of US dance music, the annually sold out Get Lost Miami has become one of the can’t miss moments of the year, with its global reach extending to sessions in Los Angeles, London, Mexico City as well as stage takeovers at festivals like Tomorrowland. Now the brand sets its sights on this long-awaited and highly anticipated New York edition to offer a unique experience in one of  electronic music’s capitals.

Friday October 11 will see the debut of the Get Lost Live concept, an audio-visual experience aimed to redesign the way a live show is experienced. Presented in association with The Bowery Presents, attendees can expect the immersive theatrics that Lazarus’ events have become known for coupled with forward-thinking live performances by emotive Lebanese indie electronic group Mashrou Leila and the exceptional modern pop icon Kelsey Lu, alongside DJ sets from one of the most talked about duos of the moment: Beautiful Swimmers, and NYC’s alternative selector, Whitney Fierce.

The party continues on October 12 with a sixteen hour multi-environment journey soundtracked by friends and family of the Crosstown Rebels movement. Get Lost’s signature outdoor celebration will open its doors at 2pm before another four areas open from 10pm for this not to be missed experience.

Bronx’s own Martinez Brothers will represent their city alongside Detroit techno legend Carl Craig, minimal German producer Robag Whrume, the illustrious Felix Da Housecat and Belgrade’s of the moment star Tijana T.

Crosstown and Rebellion’s diverse label roster will be on full display with performances from Ae:ther (Live), Brina Knauss, Davi, Denney, Francesca Lombardo, Joeski, Magit Cacoon, Serge Devant, Tibi Dado and others. Of course it remains the party’s scion who’s sets remain the most celebrated within the Get Lost saga, with Lazarus’ enchanting sonics and revered catalogue acting as a guiding beacon of underground curation.

The unexpected has always been the true flagship of leading event, offering a sense of immersion that seems to bend time and alter realities. Through sunset and sunrise, Get Lost NYC will continue the series’ journey towards crafting the remarkable and evolving all definitions of rave.

Loco Dice

By

Loco Dice
with support from William Djoko

DJ, producer and Desolat record label co-founder Loco Dice is one of electronic music’s most enduring and respected artists. He’s always shown an uncanny ability to read the crowd and take them in an unexpected direction, as seen at his era-defining residencies at the infamous Tribehouse in Germany, as well as the iconic super clubs in Ibiza from Circoloco at DC-10, Used & Abused at Ushuaïa to the Amnesia terrace. His countless appearances at internationally renowned venues and festivals around the globe have cemented that legacy.

Loco Dice merges perspectives in his delicate sense for sounds and reflective atmospheres, underpinned with solid, physical grooves. You can call it techno if you want, or house, but don’t try to reduce it any further – Dice is most interested in the uncharted territory between genres, the elements that link everything together. Dice’s own productions are meticulously planned, with a directorial, cinematic outlook, which permeates Dice’s everyday life, and not just from the escapades and scrapes that he has sometimes found himself living out in real life.

At the end of the day, Dice sees everything running in loops and it’s his job to trace a line to sketch out the next scenes. Even if life tends to be unpredictable, a little chancy, the next move doesn’t have to be a gamble. In fact, Loco Dice shows via his compositions and endeavors that it can be very well planned. Listen to his music, imagine the cinematic accompaniments, and you’ll understand how something carefully constructed can begin with a flight of fancy, or a roll of the dice.
