Spend The Night presents Daniel Avery (Phantasy, Mute – UK) https://shop.phantasysound.co.uk/collections/daniel-avery https://www.instagram.com/danielmarkavery https://danielavery.komi.io/ with: Leeonn Sunrise Energy Club Since releasing his debut album Drone Logic on Phantasy in 2013, Daniel Avery has progressed since to become one of the most widely-recognised and revered talents in British electronic music. Avery’s relationship with the label continues in 2022 with ‘Ultra Truth’, featuring collaborations not only the production touch of Ghost Culture and Manni Dee, but also he vocals of HAAi, Jonnine Standish (HTRK), AK Paul and the voices of Marie Davidson, Kelly Lee Owens, Sherelle and James Massiah. “I’m working with an entirely different world of sound on this record. Every single influence from the last decade spent on the road plays a part. Things that have been in the back of my mind forever, warped, distorted and pushed to a new place.” Ultra Truth is just that. It’s the ultimate musical truth of one of the UK’s most innovative, boundary-pushing electronic producers. And the truth is, this is a record to give you a burning sense of hope. A hugely popular DJ, Avery has headlined and curated lineups for venues and events including Fabric, Les Nuits Sonores and The Warehouse Project. In 2022, Avery debuted his first ever live show, which toured festivals including Primavera Sound, Melt, Roskilde and in his home city of London, Field Day.

BABERS, Faith & Majesty, Kitchen Congregation – 21+
BABERS is a moody indie band based in Portland fronted by Dana Cargioli (guitar & vocals) & Lisa Haagen (guitar, drums & vocals). The band released their sophomore EP on May 5th, 2023. The music sits in an incredibly catchy pocket that makes it undeniably pop- while serving syncopated rhythms and counter melodies that add complexity. Rooted in the electric guitar, the arrangements create the effect of a much larger band. The dual leads have their own distinct voices that seamlessly blend into complex harmonies. They are often seen switching instruments during the live set which creates an entertaining visual element. The BABERS catalog is a masterclass in dynamics: soft spoken lyrics and gentle harmonies open the songs like a conversation and then build to reveal the furthest limits of their individual vocal ranges over rock arrangements. Faith&Majesty are an indie folk/alt sister duo/band. Their contemplative writing melded with hard-hitting harmonies make their music feel like a heartbreaking lullaby. Having started making music together in 2016, the duo are excited to release their first EP in 2023 following their string of single releases. kitchen congregation is the solo project of hannah morton who has been writing and performing music in bands for nearly a decade. The name for the moniker was a light-hearted play on an observation that hannah made about how it seems social gatherings somehow end with friends gathering around in the kitchen. The moniker has taken on a second meaning as the recorded works have become a sort of collaboration among friends. The songs play around with observations hannah has made about herself and the people around her (just life stuff) with a bedroom pop / folk sound. The live kitchen congregation set features hannah’s vocals and words backed by finger picked electric guitar and occasional tracks and violin. kitchen congregation put out their first ep “i’m not having fun anymore” in 2021 and is currently recording their 2nd ep, “this is gonna suck” due out in 2023.

Colleen (live performance) – Plus a conversation between Shawn Reynaldo & Spencer Doran – DJ Beacon Sound – Early show! – 21+
Holocene and Megalith present:French artist Cécile Schott aka Colleen is fearless in her willingness to explore new sounds and new ways of creating music as a solo performer. Over the course of seven critically acclaimed albums released between 2003 and 2021, Cécile Schott consistently reinvented herself, first by taking acoustic instruments out of their usual context and pushing the boundaries of their playability, then through avant-pop electronic explorations. With compositions ranging from the mysterious and contemplative to kinetic and playful, the Thrill Jockey recording artist has given more than 230 concerts across Europe, the US, Japan, Brazil and Singapore, in prestigious venues and festivals such as Moogfest, Big Ears, Mutek, Transmediale, Villette Sonique, Rewire and many more. From 2003 to 2007, she released three albums on The Leaf Label (Everyone Alive Wants Answers in 2003, The Golden Morning Breaks in 2005 and Les Ondes Silencieuses in 2007). After a break from recording and touring, Colleen returned with The Weighing of the Heart, using her voice for the first time and introducing a modified treble viola da gamba. The artist then released a string of albums for Thrill Jockey Records: 2015’s Captain of None in 2015, noticed for its daring use of viola da gamba in other-worldly pop songs incorporating dub-inspired techniques, 2017’s A flame my love, a frequency, which heralded a shift to a purely electronic setup, and 2021’s The Tunnel and the Clearing, produced in the aftermath of a profound personal crisis: vintage drum machine, organ, Moog synthesizer, her voice and her beloved Moogerfoogers and Space Echo tape delay united to create “an emotional noise” in her most harmonically complex record to date. Colleen’s growing passion for synthesis, bolstered by her collaborations with synth manufacturer Moog, have led to her 8th album Le jour et la nuit du réel, to be released on Thrill Jockey on September 22nd, 2023. Built as a suite of songs, the artist’s first double album is also her first purely instrumental work since 2007, and aims to translate through a myriad of sound transformations the complexity of our relation to reality, and its psychological mutations through the cycles of day and night.Sharing the bill with Colleen for this special event will be author Shawn Reynaldo, in conversation with Spencer Doran (of Visible Cloaks) on the subject of electronic music culture. Andrew from Beacon Sound will be helming the turntables during the evening.Shawn Reynaldo is a Barcelona-based writer and editor who specialises in electronic music. A Bay area native who first found his way into the rave scene during the late 90s, he’s spent decades immersed in independent music culture, logging countless hours running labels, throwing parties and hosting radio shows. However, his work as a music journalist has made him one of electronic music’s most prominent voices. Author of the First Floor newsletter, Shawn was formerly an editor at Red Bull Music Academy and XLR8R and has also contributed to such publications as Pitchfork, NPR, SPIN, Resident Advisor, DJ Mag, Bandcamp Daily and Beatportal. He will be touring the States in support of his new book, First Floor Volume 1: Reflections on Electronic Music Culture.
