Madame and Lumin’s “O Baile” wil be returning to London’s Islington Metal Works on the 2nd of July with a truly exceptional lineup.
Headlined by two up-and-coming portuguese acts – Oporto’s :papercutz and lisbon’s Octa Push and with support from Matthew Hawtin , Rival Consoles and Missaw – this is one north london bash you can’t afford to miss.
:papercutz are a young band from Oporto, Portugal, that sprang from the imagination of lead songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Bruno Miguel. The band’s sublime blend of acoustic textures and electronica has seen them win an award at London’s prestigious People’s Music Awards, gain praise from BBC presenter Anne Nightingale and XFM’s Eddy Temple-Morris and win second place in the Dance/Electronica category in the International Sonwriting Competition.
Octa Push, whose unique sunshine infused dubstep has seen them go down a storm at such venues as the legendary fabric, festivals like Sonar and Glade, among many others,.They earned the respect of luminaries such as Thom Yorke and Buraka Som Sistema. The unstoppable duo will once again grace “O Baile†with their highly eclectic and energetic live act.
Matthew Hawtin is the younger brother of legendary techno mastermind Richie Hawtin. Matthew is a member of the Minus record label family and a world renowned visual artist to boot. His DJ sets bridge the gap between ambient and big room beats, an explosive formula which has laid waste to many a dancefloor around the world.
Rival Consoles is the stage name of London-based IDM producer Ryan Lee West. The 23 year old techno whizkid has already made a name for himself with his quirky, elaborate productions that caught the ear of oscar-nominated composer Nico Muhly who requested a Rival Consoles remix one of his tracks. His performance at the Tate Britain Museum drew a crowd of over 2000 punters, he is currently working on a full length album and he will be bringing his modern yet amazingly catchy brand of intelligent dance music to “O Baile”.
Last but not least, is Missaw founder of The Centrifuge record label and DJ extraordinaire. His rollercoaster sets are equal parts electro, electronica, acid and glitch. Missaw divides his time between London, Berlin and Yorkshire but managed to make room in his busy schedule to spin a few records at the next edition of “O Baile”.
With a great venue and a truly exciting lineup, “O Baile” at Islington Metal Works on Friday the 2nd of July is shaping up to be a great way to kick off the great british summer.
