Pastel and Abercrombie bring Wata Igarashi to Gadigal land for a 3hr headline set. We've also invited Mozz, co-head of Foundations Techno from Newcastle to open up the night with his gritty, minimal selections. To close we have a local favourite, Lady of Leisure playing her first solo set outside of her duo 2Girlz1Deck.
WATA IGARASHI [JAP]

Wata Igarashi has developed a clear sound of his own. He brings together the euphoric and psychedelic, with his music standing out for its crystalline structures and shimmering intensity. Igarashi’s distinctive take on techno is on display across a series of EPs on Midgar and The Bunker NY, as well as on Semantica, Time to Express, and Bitta. Recent standout remixes of Aurora Halal, Volte-Face and Prins Thomas have further demonstrated his considerable talents as a producer. The same mentality is present in his performances, whether DJing or playing live, with his measured control of frequencies and intensities shaping the dancefloor as he explores the more psychedelic dimensions of techno. In this way, Igarashi’s considered approach is one that stimulates the body and mind, generating energy and emotion.
