Description

Friday, May 19, 2023 Doors 10PM Advance Tickets on sale now. At once immensely creative and wholly uncompromising, Sara is a self-taught producer, audio engineer, and DJ known for her dark, driving, and divinely feminine brand of industrial techno. Though only a few years into what is sure to be a long and storied career, Sara has quickly emerged as one of the most exciting new voices in techno, with her releases on Techno Germany, RAW, and Crisis of Man quickly attracting an ever-growing community of loyal fans and cementing her firmly on the radar of some of the industry’s most prominent tastemakers, including Possession, Perc, 999999999, I Hate Models, Amelie Lens, Nico Moreno, VTSS, SPFDJ, Shlømo, Cera Khin, DYEN, Adam Beyer, and more. As a producer, Sara is an irrefutable powerhouse who delights in surprising her listeners, deftly pushing the envelope to craft innovative sonic experiences that are, above all else, deliberate, witchy, and weird. Her productions have been streamed millions of times, are frequently featured on Spotify’s Techno Bunker, and her industrial remix of Cardi B’s WAP made quite an impact on the European rave scene. As a DJ, Sara is an explosive presence and open channel, consistently delivering thunderous, hammering sets that have won the hearts of techno fanatics the world over and earned her a slew of high-profile 2021 bookings at Coachella’s Yuma tent, Red Rocks, and Brooklyn Mirage. At her core, Sara is an intentional energetic conduit; her sole goal with her music is to help her audiences transcend known musical experiences by providing a space for them to lose themselves in the realm she manifests with her meticulously-executed productions and warehouse/livestream event series KLUBHAUS. Sara’s ambition with her music is to help her audiences transcend into deep out-of-body experiences by providing a space for them to lose themselves in the realm she manifests. Sugar is the primary alias of Copenhagen-based composer, producer and Fast Forward Productions co-founder Nikolaj Jakobsen. While Sugar’s sound may be best described as techno with its heart on its sleeve, his seemingly innate ability to conjure multiplicitous spaces within a single piece of music can’t be easily constrained by simple genre signifiers. Absorbing the powerful, playful and emotional intensity of the punk, hardcore and metal scenes that Jakobsen committed his earlier years to, it occupies a unique place in today’s electronic music landscape – one that Jakobsen has been instrumental in creating. It’s this sound that has seen Sugar DJ at some of the world’s best clubs, including Berghain, Basement NY, K41 in Kyiv and Georgia’s Bassiani, as well as extensively touring Europe and The Americas since that first release in 2018. Bringing the music of Copenhagen to an international audience is an essential part of the process, Jakobsen’s commitment and love for his home city cutting through everything he does. In 2015 he co-founded the booking and events agency Fast Forward Productions, in the process solidifying Copenhagen’s burgeoning fast techno movement through inclusive mega-raves and giving a home to many of its essential artists, including Schacke, Peachlyfe, Ezy, DJ Tool, Repro, Vixen, Funeral Future and Rune Bagge. His productions found their own home on Euromantic, who released his debut record “No Sex Only Feelings” in 2018 – the culmination of a marked increase in the intensity of his music-making that has yet to slow down. Further releases on Anetha’s Mama Told Ya, Hector Oaks’s KAOS, Luke Standing’s Blue Hour & Positive Source, Courtesy’s Kulør, Bassiani’s in-house label and his own Perfumery Recordings confirm a signature sound that remains refreshingly hard to pin down. // Club Level // Sara Landry (HEKATE Records | Amsterdam) soundcloud.com/sara-landry-dj ra.co/dj/saralandry saralandry.com Sugar (Fast Forward | Copenhagen) soundcloud.com/sugar_fastforward ra.co/dj/sugar fastforwardcopenhagen.com/ // Green Room // Brian Thabault LiVE (Tri Music Group | NYC) soundcloud.com/brian_thabault ra.co/dj/brianthabault Philip Goyette soundcloud.com/philipgoyette ra.co/dj/philipgoyette // Flash Bar: Room Service // DJ-SUN soundcloud.com/spunbysun ra.co/dj/dj-sun Brooce soundcloud.com/bruski17 Flotussin soundcloud.com/flotussin ra.co/dj/flotussin _________________________________ ⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶ Flash Safe Space Policy ⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶ Flash stands firmly against non-consensual behavior, discrimination, harassment or harm of any kind.
