Deep Space is proud to celebrate our mad love of science, with an exclusive dj appearance by electronic music pioneer, multi-faceted producer and beloved MTV icon, Thomas Dolby (She Blinded Me With Science, Hyperactive, Magic’s Wand). Yup, he'll be mixing an electrofunk set with some 80's classics.
THOMAS DOLBY:
For two over decades Thomas Dolby Robertson has combined music and technology to great effect. The advent of MTV brought Thomas his initial exposure in the early 1980’s: His intelligent videos stood out from the pack, and his songs "She Blinded Me With Science" and "Hyperactive" became huge hits that have stood the test of time. His keyboard and production work put him in the studio with the likes of David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Foreigner, Joni Mitchell and George Clinton. Numerous awards and five Grammy™ Nominations later, Thomas had achieved worldwide recognition as an artist.
Recognizing the opportunities for digital distribution of music, Dolby started Beatnik Inc. licensed technology to Nokia to co-develop the first embedded software synthesis “polyphonic” ringtone engine for mass-market devices. For 12 years, Dolby also served as musical director of the world-famous TED Conferences. His first new studio album in two decades, A Map of the Floating City, received critical acclaim and was accompanied by the self-created, multi-user social networking game The Floating City.
Dolby has been named the Johns Hopkins University's first Homewood Professor of the Arts — a position that will enable him to help create a new center that will serve as an incubator for technology in the arts. In addition to playing a leading role in designing the new center, Dolby also will co-teach a course at Hopkins, "Sound on Film," that will bring together film students from the Homewood campus with composing students at Peabody — and that will make use of computer techniques he pioneered.
Thomas Dolby completed his first film, The Invisible Lighthouse, in 2013. It documents the imminent closure of an historic lighthouse overlooking a mysterious ex-Military island near his coastal home in East Anglia, UK. The lighthouse will soon be abandoned to the North Sea; and this was so distressing to Dolby--who has fallen asleep to its rhythmic flash on his bedroom wall ever since he was a small boy--that he decided to mount a clandestine raid on the island in a high-speed RIB. Via a remote controlled quadrocopter camera, Dolby's film tells the story of the island's sinister past, and the controversial role the lighthouse played in Britain's most famous UFO incident. In live performance Dolby project his film while narrating and playing the musical score to picture.

Deep Space, is an adventure into future dub, spacey vibes, and abstract grooves featuring resident DJ François K. live on the mixing board with special guests.
Since the party’s launch in 2003, Deep Space has featured a who’s who of well known and then emerging artists from around the world representing a stunning array of musical styles that Deep Space is known for integrating into its open minded aesthetic.
