Clubnight
Saturday 29th November 8pm - 1am
Sound Records presents London producer Benyayer in an exclusive launch party of his debut LP Morpho. Formerly one-third of celebrated electronic trio Dark Sky. Morpho captures the emotional and sonic evolution of an artist in metamorphosis. Bridging influences from techno, UK bass, Afrofuturism, and electronica, the LP arrives amid support from tastemakers like Gilles Peterson, Benji B, and Tom Ravenscroft, as well as heavyweight artists including Ben UFO, Bicep, Laurent Garnier, Bonobo, and Modeselektor.
Benyayer's new live show, built around these very tools, has already been trailed to great acclaim across Europe, adding a powerful performative dimension to the record. With previous performances at Berghain, Fabric, Glastonbury, MUTEK, Dimensions and Melt Festival. Benyayer's solo trajectory continues to rise with intent, mystery, and a fierce sense of artistic purpose. He plays just 4 dates on this album launch tour Berlin, London, Cardiff and Stroud.
Support comes from YouYou - a classically trained vocalist with Trinity College grade 8 vocals. She has remained hungry for the sounds of both innovative electronic synths and classic live instruments and the intersection between them, with interesting grooves and melodies at the core. Spanning multiple BPMs and genres, YouYou blends everything from ambient, funk, jazz, disco and world, to taking listeners on sonic journey through to darker realms of underground rave-infused house, bass, electro, acid, breaks and techno, with plenty of tracks that fall between the cracks. Playing her extensive music collection at venues and festivals across the South West, Bristol and London, expect YouYou to bring both the warm groovers and the muscular heavy-hitters to ignite a memorably euphoric and wonky energy.
Also in support are the Joicey Collective - Stroud's very own DJ collective bringing unbridled energy to make this a night to remember.
