Welcome to H0L0's newest residency: Toribio's Bring Dat Ass (BDA) party! Get ready to immerse yourself in a night of unadulterated musical bliss and boundless energy as we dive into the depths of sound and movement.
The manifesto of the party is as follows— MUSIC is the great unifier and equalizer. It has the power to translate the intangible messages, emotions & feelings into 3D. It can bring about change internally to a person, also externally to a multitude of people. It can straight up change the shape of water. Music is what can bring soo many different people and walks of life together in a room on a night that wouldn’t have otherwise, because at its root : the feeling is just that powerful. People are drawn to that feeling again and again for generations. As cliche as it may sound : it heals.
With that said we want these nights to allow is for us to come to the music as a holistic thing. Not categorized into sub genre or bpms or whatever . In the context of these nights : all music can be danced to. And we can receive what we are able/need to receive once we allow it the space to operate.
Setting: Where u place/present the music matters too. That can mean over the course of a night and even the room it’s presented in. There’s a need for access to a space that can allow people to tap into what they need. I’m hoping with this updated space at H0L0 it will be optimal for the music to do its thing.
• Wood floors so that you can move across easily and your joints won’t ache after a session. Your feet will thank you.
• 4 point sound system so that we all feel like we are immersed in it together.
• Fresh juice after hours to give u some good fuel .
• Intentional staff and security to make people feel free, safe, and comfortable to be together and experience something.
We playfully say Bring Dat Ass not because Its not serious. But because we don’t think being playful and genuine/serious are mutually exclusive . Thelonious Monk’s music was playful and serious as hell at the same time . So come and bring who you think would benefit and enjoy from these sessions. This is for music lovers and dancers . Music is tha focus BUTT dat ass is tha barometer. So we need u to bring dat ass so we can see what tha music is doing. Bring dat ass and your feet will follow .
The special guests:
PHOTAY
Photay is the solo musical endeavor of composer/drummer/DJ/producer, Evan Shornstein, hailing from the lush and peaceful evergreen valley of Woodstock, NY.
Having been introduced to Aphex Twin at the tender age of 9, he quickly began to embrace music in all of its forms. This early inspiration provided a foundation for his musical growth in drumming, turntablism and eventually composition.
Years later, after an eye-opening trip to Guinea, West Africa, Photay was born. Combining his newly acquired knowledge of polyrhythmic percussion and years of experimenting with sampling and field recordings, he went on to create and self-release his first project under the alias. Seamlessly combining a variety of audio sources and techniques, Photay’s sound is a balancing act of analog and digital, of natural and synthetic. It is not designed exclusively for headphones nor the dancefloor, but is genuinely at home in both contexts.
SHIGETO
Artists take on pseudonyms for a multitude of reasons, but in Zach Saginaw’s case, those reasons run deeper than most. Zach records under the name Shigeto. It’s his middle name; it’s also his grandfather’s name, a tribute to the Japanese branch of Zach’s family tree.
Shigeto also means “to grow bigger”—appropriate, given Zach’s premature birth-weight of less than a pound. Today, Shigeto stands for Zach’s vividly beautiful electronic music. Beat-driven but given to richly textured sound design, rhythmically fractured but melodically sumptuous, Shigeto’s music is a bridge between the past and present, bringing the artist face to face with a creative legacy that spans decades.
Zach was brought up on a steady diet of Michigan-bred music, as his father spoon-fed him old Motown and jazz records by the crateload. Zach picked up the drums at an early age, spending much of his childhood playing in the Detroit/Ann Arbor music scene. After nearly flunking out of high school—save for his music studies—Zach spent three years studying jazz at the New School in NYC and three more in London, where he began woodshedding, obsessed with learning electronic production. Soon enough, beats materialized, Zach moved to Brooklyn and took up the name
Shigeto, and Zach’s peers began to take notice.
Zach’s body of work has grown over the last few years to the tune of several EPs on Moodgadget as Shigeto and with A Setting Sun, a pair of EPs under the alias Frank Omura (another family-name reference), and remixes for Worst Friends, Praveen & Benoit, Tycho, Mux Mool, Charles Trees, A Setting Sun, Beautiful Bells, Shlohmo, and more. The Semi-Circle EP will be his first release with Ghostly International; the full-length Full Circle is on the horizon. Semi-Circle is a fiercely independent work of art, nominally indebted to instrumental hip-hop but, like Zach, straddling many worlds at once. Cool shades of ambient music, stuttering early IDM, dubstep sub-bass, and jazz melodicism color Shigeto’s palette, which he wields with a painterly attention to detail.
As Ghostly International hits its 10th anniversary, Shigeto is one of the first of a wave of young artists who grew up influenced by the label’s early output. And again, names come into play. “Putting out this record on Ghostly isn’t just ‘getting signed,’ for me,” says Zach, “it’s becoming part of a family, an influence that I’ve respected forever. That’s Full Circle.” Let’s just say the feeling’s mutual.
