Slow Magic – w/ Beacon Bloom, the.halflife – 21+
SLOW MAGIC Darkness and light, aggression and gentleness, ecstasy and reflection: these dualities define Slow Magic’s third and strongest project to date, Float. An expansive and inventive compendium of modern electronic pop, the enigmatic producer’s latest spans a multitude of genres and moods resulting in a listening experience that makes for its own journey. Written and recorded over the past two years, work on Float commenced shortly after touring behind 2014’s dreamy How to Run Away, the record’s jagged and surprising new sounds taking shape after a leisurely trip to Iceland in order to “try to get away” from things. A subsequent trip to Japan—wherein Slow Magic performed in the country for the first time—further solidified what would go into the album’s sonic and visual motifs. Float marks a number of “firsts” for Slow Magic: it’s the first time the producer’s worked with live drums, as well as the first time they’ve brought guest vocalists into the Slow Magic world, from MNDR and Swedish electro-rockers Kate Boy to like-minded producer Tropics and Antlers frontman Peter Silberman. But it’s a testament to Slow Magic’s unique creative approach that these different voices coalesce on an album that presents a uniform vision even as it embraces exuberant creativity. Music has always provided a retreat for anyone looking to lose themselves in pure sound, and Float is a trip that no one will regret taking. Next, Slow Magic is planning to release his 5th debut album later this summer of 2023. BEACON BLOOM Bursting onto the melodic house scene with releases on some of the most influential imprints, New Zealand’s rapidly rising electronic act Beacon Bloom have released their stunning productions on ZeroThree, Colorized, Stil vor Talent and Purified Records. Uplifting and deeply danceable, Beacon Bloom’s trademark ethereal vocals sit above soaring synth lines and undeniable low-end groove. Their immersive, multi-genre hybrid live shows lead audiences on an emotive electronic journey – all set within the psychedelic Beacon Bloom universe. Gaining recognition from the likes of RÜFÜS DU SOL, David Guetta, Snoop Dogg, Paul Oakenfold and Nora En Pure, the group is on a sharp upward trajectory moon with over 1 mil streams across platforms.+ Local support from The.Halflife
