Modern Love Tour: Party Preview
"Dark experimental electronic music" and "crowd-pleasers" don't often go together in the same sentence, but in this case, they do. Both
Demdike Stare and
Andy Stott (premier artists on U.K. label
Modern Love, hence the name) are astonishingly good live performers: Demdike Stare pairs the bleak, blackened atmosphere of its early career with its recent bass-heavy techno experiments, making for a live set that's both scary and danceable; meanwhile, Andy Stott's noisy, oppressive grit is leavened by a generous dose of female vocals and Amen breaks. If darkness isn't your thing, digital hip-hop producer
Prefuse 73 is joined by
Letherette and local producer
Brogan Bentley to dish up something on the lighter side.
