Madd Rod & Friends w/ Franz Matthews & Bonnie Spacey

Madd Rod takes over Rooftop Eva on July 13th for a curation with Franz Matthews and Bonnie Spacey. The founder of Inner Shah and co-founder of the Locals Only crew returns down south to the area where he held his first DJ residencies and developed his skills. BONNIE SPACEY (CRITICAL MONDAY) Bonnie Spacey discovered electronic music through Miss Kittin and The Hacker, leading to a love for electronica, indie dance, and deep techno. Inspired by her guitarist father's influence with Jimmy Hendrix, she honed her musical skills on guitar and piano. For 10 years, she explored European clubs and festivals, finally stepping behind the decks in 2015. In 2019, she founded Critical Monday together with Damon Jee, an imprint of electronic music blending rock and club music. FRANZ MATTHEWS (HIFI/LOFI) Based in Berlin, the Franco-German electronic music producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist blends cosmic, spiritual, and global sonic influences to make people dance. He's released music on Eskimo Recordings, Heimlich, Playground, ROAM, and his own HIFI/LOFI Records, collaborating with top electronic artists like Aera, Chaim, and Local Suicide. Starting with classical piano and guitar, he studied jazz in the US and fell in love with LCD Soundsystem and Soulwax. In the early 2010s, he formed the Indie Dance band 'Parlez-Vous Anglais?' in Paris and honed his production skills at Studios de La Seine. Moving to Berlin in 2013, he worked on projects like Languages and Moon Wave, and composed for ads and films. MADD ROD (INNER SHAH) Madd Rod, the creative alter ego of Rodrigo Pinheiro, is a DJ, Producer, and head of Inner Shah Recordings. He blends multiple musical influences with a nostalgic yet avant-garde style. His debut album, "Dystopian Desert," released in 2020, opened new doors for collaborations and remixes. In 2021, he joined the Portuguese label Discotexas. Moving to Berlin in 2022, he rediscovered his artistic identity with a retrofuturist sound. His second album, "Sad Behaviour," released on September 29, 2023, explores a robust, punk, and intimate sound, and is available in both physical and digital formats through Discotexas. He is now based in Porto, and keeps expanding his catalog with releases on Get Physical, Worn Pop, among others.
