For the last two years Future Classic have been hosting Après, a laidback weekly Sunday afternoon event at the Tilbury Hotel in Woolloomooloo. A BBQ, friendly bar staff and turntables on the balcony in the sunshine have set the scene for these under-the-radar sessions that give our local and international guests (often performing under alias) the chance to play more diverse sets than they would in the club.
Towards the end of 2008 the idea was hatched to create a series of Après 12inch releases with contributions from our local and international guests. So far there have been two releases in the series featuring contributions from Mock & Toof, Toby Tobias, Bonar Bradberry, Loin Brothers and Touch Sensitive.
The third instalment of the Après vinyl series explores the indie disco dimensions of our Sunday afternoon sessions.
When we commissioned Gemma Smith to produce four artworks for the series this angular and intense piece sat well with the spiky Hot Chip-meets-Junior Boys disco punk funk of Melbourne 3 piece Clubfeet. It also worked with Adelaide’s Sidwho?, another promising newcomer who’s recent 12” on Cage & Aviary’s The Walls Have Ears imprint got rave reviews from Horse Meat Disco, Mock & Toof, Tim Sweeney and Optimo to name a few. Millionaire is an early taster of the pop sensibilities of Sid’s forthcoming solo album with Future Classic. Sid’s also a member of the Modular signed live disco act The Swiss.
Chad and Nathan took some time out from the Future Classic HQ to turn in a remix of Millionaire together with good friend Bryan O’Callaghan who also happens to be head chef at the Tilbury where Après is held. Bryan quickly became a firm friend of Future Classic after Mudd and Aeroplane were booked for sets at Après with Bryan seeking us out, immediately impressing us with his unparalleled knowledge of rare disco and groove. Last but definitely not least (since it made the A1) came Pink Frost's remix of Evening Star by another local Sydney band Todd Sparrow. After a heavy vinyl digging session at Redeye Records,the store’s vinyl buyer Scott, handed Nathan a CDR and the call was made then and there and we had our third Après release – an intentionally all Australian installment!
Sunday 2 August will see each of the artists featured on the new Apres 12” representing in the DJ booth for a special one off launch party for the new record.
