Willow - Overland

Friday, March 8, 2024 Doors 10PM Advance Tickets on sale now. Manchester’s finest Willow aka Sophie Wilson is the purveyor of a style defined from a bubbling melting pot of dubby textures, minimal patterns and stripped back influences. With an output spanning the realms of classic hip-hop, stripped back broken beat and sparse elements of leftfield house and ambient techno; Willow has developed a sound that’s unusually distinctive, yet hard to define. Her introduction came in 2014 when veteran DJ Move D included her first production ‘Feel Me’ in his Fabric 74 mix. Having pricked ears when he played the track out for the first time, Move D passed ‘Feel Me’ onto his friend Lowtec – who decided to give it a full release in a compilation on his Workshop imprint the following year. Now based in London, Willow has become a name in demand at some of the best clubs and festivals around the world playing alongside names like Daphni, Ben UFO, Four Tet, DJ Koze, Omar S, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Joy Orbison, Pearson Sound and Workshop regular Kassem Mosse at clubs like Live at Robert Johnson Offenbach, De School Amsterdam, Panorama Bar Berlin, Printworks London, Concrete Paris, Blitz Munich, DC10 Ibiza etc. 2018 has seen Willow’s reach rise even further with a residency at Manchester's Warehouse Project, Australia, India and South East Asia tours and gigs at Motion Bristol, Robert Johnson, Lux Lisbon, Waking Life Festival, Houghton, Field Day, Farr Festival and Gottwood Festival in the UK, Boiler Room sets at both AVA Festival Ireland and DC10 and much, much more. Fuelled by a love of visiting new places, meeting new people and listening to good music – Willow is a producer and DJ who’s on a boundless upward rise. Overland is a rave inciter and beat architect shaped by her upbringing in small town Alberta, Canada, and an itinerant way of life guided by the magnetism of disparate musical influences. With notable sojourns in London, UK and Vancouver, British Columbia, Overland’s journey has taken her from organizing hometown warehouse raves and beachside renegades to high profile bookings at Berlin’s Tresor and Boiler Room x Igloofest Montreal. Echoes of the myriad of people and places that have helped her flourish can be heard in her playful, high-energy mixes and simmering sets that weave morphing basslines with propulsive beats. Her driving, dynamic and acid-laced productions have been released on Lisbon’s Naive and New York’s Sweat Equity. Two new records will follow this year on the Berlin-based label run by Marie Montexier, Paryía and Priori’s Canadian imprint, GARMO. Fresh off the back of a newly minted residency for Rinse France, Overland’s mark on Canadian dance music continues to thrive and shows no sign of slowing down. // Club Level // Willow (UK) soundcloud.com/willowmcr Overland (naive, Sweat Equity NYC | Vancouver) soundcloud.com/jodieoverland Associate soundcloud.com/bossrossdj // Green Room // Sevyn soundcloud.com/sevyn_sounds Geena Marie soundcloud.com/geena_marie SHAVAUN XX soundcloud.com/shavaunxx // Flash Bar // Dee Clark djdeeclark.com/ Terratori soundcloud.com/djterratori Miss Behave soundcloud.com/djmissbehave _________________________________ ⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶ Flash Safe Space Policy ⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶ Flash stands firmly against non-consensual behavior, discrimination, harassment or harm of any kind.
