SHLOHMO (US)

WHERE: Civic Underground
WHEN: Thursday, February 7, 2013



Future Classic & Astral People are joining forces for a special evening with LA beat-visionary SHLOHMO, performing an exclusive Sydney sideshow whilst touring with the national St Jerome’s Laneway Festival.

Lo-Fi beat maker, field recording enthusiast and WEDIDIT Collective boss Shlohmo is no ordinary producer. At just twenty one years old the experimental artist (better known as Henry Laufer) has carved a sound from psychedelic compositions sitting between Hip Hop, synth funk and abstract beatwork not just inspired – but inspiring - a generation of artists unafraid to sound a little weird.

Releasing almost exclusively on the LA-based Friends of Friends imprint, Shlohmo's multiple EP’s and mini-albums preceded 2011’s LP ‘ Bad Vibes’ introducing a refined aesthetic to a continually innovative sound. Remixes for the likes of Toro Y Moi, Souljah Boy, Drake, Jeremih, Little Dragon and Australia’s very own Flume has allowed him to meld his space-infused weirdness to hip hop influence, whilst pushing the likes of Ryan Hemsworth and RL Grime through the ‘WEDIDIT’ label collective.

All of the above contribute in some form to a unique and highly anticipated live show, appearing in Australia for the very first time. Experience the life and sound of one of the USA’s most innovative and genre defying artists in a rare and extremely intimate setting.
