Focus: Rrose

Friday, October 18, 2024 Doors 10PM Advance Tickets on sale now. Rrose is the latest incarnation of Seth Horvitz, an interdisciplinary artist from California whose 20+ year history weaves in and out of academic circles and electronic music culture. Their work is informed by ongoing interests in microtonality, the limits of perception, and the idiosyncrasies of machines. This approach serves to create a distinctly detailed, sensual and hallucinogenic form of techno that challenges the mind and body in equal measure. The project extends into specific pockets of the avant-garde, leading to collaborations with luminaries such as Bob Ostertag and Charlemagne Palestine and reinventions of works by 20th century composers such as James Tenney. On stage, Rrose often stands in the shadows, going by he and she interchangeably (Rrose’s name and image allude to Duchamp’s female alter-ego) – an implied interrogation of gender norms and artistry in techno circles, albeit with a hint of black humor (Rrose’s biography states “Born 1969. Died 1909”). Rrose’s first release in 2011 on Sandwell District came cloaked in mystery as to its creator, as did the following collaboration featuring Bob Ostertag’s Buchla 200E synth and a string of vinyl releases on her own Eaux label starting in 2012. In the sync domain Rrose is equally blowing fuses having recently provided music for Martin Scorcese’s “The Current War” along with producing music for Alexander McQueen’s Black Show and Harmony Korine’s collaboration with Gucci. // Club Level // Rrose (EAUX | London) soundcloud.com/rrose1921 Marteka Fair soundcloud.com/martekafair // Green Room: DC House Grooves - Katrina’s Birthday Jam // Katrina Mir soundcloud.com/katrinamir Andy Grant soundcloud.com/dchousegrooves/sets/andy-grant-dc-house-grooves dchousegrooves.com/ Kochi soundcloud.com/djkochi // Flash Bar // Adrian Collazo mixcloud.com/adrian-collazo2/ Discopedia soundcloud.com/sonnycheebacheeba _________________________________ ⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶ Flash Safe Space Policy ⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶ Flash stands firmly against non-consensual behavior, discrimination, harassment or harm of any kind.
