O.Bee B2b Tomás Station

Friday, April 12, 2024 Doors 10PM Advance Tickets on sale now. Known for dancing in between different genres and styles, juggling the tradition and the avant-garde, O.BEE generates unknown yet familiar sonic landscapes, in a signature style that reflects his own musical identity; optimistic yet rebellious and filled by passion. Liberating the dance floor from the accustomed rules and stepping away from functional expectations, he instead cultivates musical trips for both the dancer and the listener, communicating with the north and south of the body, fueled with intellectual and sexual energy. O.BEE is a regular in his hometown Istanbul, and in his current base New York, where he completed his studies in Contemporary Music in the New School and continues to develop his refined take on dance music. After bouncing around parties for several years he joined the ReSolute family, a new home, where he has had the honors of hosting and accompanying many artists, such as Zip, Chez Damier, Sonja Moonear, Thomas Melchior, Fumiya Tanaka, a:pria:r, that have been true inspirations for him. Recent years have seen him travel beyond the horizons of the big apple, frequenting the likes Output Club in Brooklyn, Suma Beach and minimuzikholin Istanbul, Unleash and Colors in London and has played venues such as Hoppetosse, CDV, Salon zur Wilden Renate and KaterBlau in Berlin, Sundae in Paris, Macarena Club in Barcelona, to name a few. While also finding a place for himself in accomplished festivals such as Comunite Festival in Mexico, Chillout and Electronica Festivals in Turkey, UVA Festival in Spain and Okeechobee in America, sharing his unique record collection with the world, while on the bill with visionaries such as Mulatu Astatke, Ambiq and Thievery Corporation. After completing his studies, O.BEE has been working hard in and out of the studio with his partner Rona Budak to introduce their record label “Enstantane'' focusing on sublime musical happenings from across the universe. Growing up between Bogotá and Chicago, Tomás experienced at an early age a clash of cultures and sounds that would open doors to a lifelong musical obsession. He received formal music training during his youth, playing both piano and drums, and participated in several bands ranging in styles from Hardcore Punk to Jazz. During a summer visit to Chicago during his teenage years he stumbled across the legendary Gramaphone Records and discovered a world that would change everything for him. Upon returning to Colombia, dreaming of drum machines and synthesizers, he formed Downpitch Recordings alongside labelmates Dorado and Bruno Anthony. The label served as a platform for their sonic development and experimentation while allowing them to preserve the vinyl tradition-and quality-over- quantity ethos that seemed to be absent in the local scene at that time. Deeply rooted in House, but with an outsider approach, Downpitch would also establish cultural bridges between cities, and by working hand in hand with their Chicago and Detroit precursors, contribute to what some refer to as a recent dance music renaissance in Colombia. For the past few years Tomás has kept on the move, constantly searching for new sounds and experiences, rapidly building a reputation for himself as an exciting up-and-coming talent. His productions on labels such as Dailysession NY, Descendants Of The Deep, Moody Recordings and Future Funktion have captivated the likes of Danny Krivit, Raresh, Magda and Douglas Sherman (The Loft), to name a few, while his electrifyingly unpredictable taste as a DJ and curator has earned him more than one spot at the decks alongside some of the most respected selectors and DJ’s around. While living in NY he worked as music buyer for Halcyon The Shop and as booker and resident for Kolekti and Zodiac Social, hosting parties with Soul In The Hole (Sadar Bahar & Lee Collins), Metro Area & Mark Grusane, amongst many others.. He recently returned to Brooklyn after some years on the road to work on his most recent endeavors which include Jigit, a record label and collective alongside Turkish DJ and producer O.BEE and visual artist Asli Tunaman that released his debut EP under the Irie Nation moniker and to consolidate his long time friendship with the ReSolute party and agency where he joined the roster as one of the resident DJ’s. // Club Level // O.BEE (Jigit, ReSolute | Brooklyn) soundcloud.com/o-bee Tomás Station (Jigit, ReSolute | Bogotá) soundcloud.com/tomasstation // Green Room: Supper Club // Nate Chapman soundcloud.com/natechapman-us Renzo Channing soundcloud.com/channingdc // Flash Bar: Record Release Party // TV Hill soundcloud.com/tvhillrecords _________________________________ ⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶ Flash Safe Space Policy ⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶ Flash stands firmly against non-consensual behavior, discrimination, harassment or harm of any kind.
