Music from Special Guests: Futurewife (Viva Recordings - Seattle) https://soundcloud.com/futurewife Futurewife first made tremors with techno and hip-hop before creating the ultra funky disco and house sounds that he’s known for today. Siphoned melodies and chords from the exotica of 60’s-70’s funk left an indelible impression on his work. He has released on labels such as Immersed Audio, Mortar & Pestle, Viva Recordings, and Audaz. Kalibo Music (Phase Out - Vancouver) https://www.facebook.com/kalibomusic/ "80s sounds filtered through a fresh modern aesthetic. Tracks that light up smiles on the dance floor, with an energy and rhythm that’s irresistibly moving. Breezy tropic vibes blended with a twist of European flair and the expanse of the ethereal. That’s what Kalibo is all about." Subverted visuals & audio oddities from Resident DJ Taffi Louis ( Roboteria, Backdoor, Sin City - YVR) https://hearthis.at/taffilouis/ From his early success introducing Vancouver’s gay nightlife to then-burgeoning electroclash and nu-disco movements, to headlining club nights in Seattle, San Francisco, Victoria, and Toronto, TAFFI LOUIS has a unique reputation for defying simple categorization and reaching further. Drawing equal inspiration from vintage sounds and modern, he continues to explore connections with various audiences through a range of the unexpected, familiar, or forgotten, mixed in a contemporary context. His edits and reworks have won support from the likes of techno/electro icon The HACKER, GEMINI BROTHERS, ITALO BRUTALO, Brooklyn modern disco ensemble MIDNIGHT MAGIC, & more. ___________________________________________ Q: WTF is TRUCKERDISCO? A: It's another side of "disco", the Bizarro-World version that was there all along. Italo-disco, nu-disco, cosmic disco, slow motion disco, mutant disco, dark disco, discopunk, Balearic beat, anthems & oddities, forgotten and future favourites, past-to-present, from Giorgio Moroder to James Murphy. "Disco is now no longer thought of in terms of celebrities snorting coke at Studio 54 or superficial dance-pop songs, instead it is working-class whites, African-Americans and Latinos dancing together defiantly; it is the foregrounding of female sexuality, and a liberated celebration of the body; it is gay men creating spaces for themselves and demanding recognition." - Benjamin Conway (In Defence Of Escapism - 2015) http://equaliserldn.com/in-defense-of-escapism/ ECLECTIC. INCLUSIVE. AFFORDABLE. For Guys, grrls, hipsters, homos, str8s, folks of all bearish persuasions, killer mustaches, mustache riders, muff drivers, disco dancers, sweet romancers -maybe even you, too!
