FOCUS: Shifted

Friday, April 5, 2024 Doors 10PM Advance Tickets on sale now. Collectively, through his latest projects and history in drum & bass, he has subconsciously forged his own path within the field of modern electronic music. His unique yet uncompromising mastery of sound and space, texture and tonalities have positioned him high in the ranks at the ever fertile juncture between noise, ambient & contemporary techno. Founded in 2011, his label Avian (and extensions Drifting Over, Mira and Pacific-Blue) have been described as ‘consistently cutting edge and sometimes unclassifiable, often leaving behind lucrative areas they help build interest in for lesser-explored sounds’. Avian’s reputation and identity have been shaped and reinforced by numerous defining outings from Shifted and further techno experiments by some of his most intriguing contemporaries. With diligent analysis of sonic space guided by a calling to explore darker realms Shifted has yielded spectacular results on a selection of electronic music’s most innovative labels. Through a series of initial EP’s and his debut album, he showcased his ability to embrace a new sound with an identity of his own where deep explorations of texture tangle with four to the floor beats. Alexander Skancke is a Berlin-based DJ born out of the subterranean depths of a new underground and is known for his potent productions and vivid sets. The young Norwegian thrives off the energy of the people on the dancefloor and has made a sizeable impact on the European electronic music scene all the way from his early releases on Neostrictly, to the acclaimed releases on his own label Quirk. Skancke’s passion for all things analog is reflected in all aspects of his life: from his work at Bikini Waxx, a record shop in Berlin specializing in second-hand vinyl, to his fascination with vintage studio gear. Because of this, you can clearly hear his passion for off the grid production and the rawness of the analog soul in his music. // Club Level // Shifted (Avian | UK) soundcloud.com/shifted Oliver Caine soundcloud.com/olivercaine // Green Room // Alexander Skancke (Quirk, Bikini Waxx Records | Berlin) soundcloud.com/alexanderskancke dimneonsum soundcloud.com/dimneonsumbaltimore // Flash Bar // SaintMark soundcloud.com/saintmark Golden Goat soundcloud.com/dexter-aragon-1 PAPII GAVII soundcloud.com/papii-gavii-6 _________________________________ ⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶ Flash Safe Space Policy ⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶ Flash stands firmly against non-consensual behavior, discrimination, harassment or harm of any kind.
