Resident Advisor hosts a night of crossover dance futurism for In:Motion in Bristol, with typically monstrous names including SBTRKT, Rustie and Koreless.
In:Motion, Bristol’s answer to Manchester Warehouse Project, takes over the cavernous complex of Motion (a skate park by day) during winter for a series of huge club nights spanning names from Fatboy Slim to Public Enemy. Occupying three rooms, including the disparately claustrophobic ‘Tunnel and vast main room, the venue is perfect for the consistent variety of dynamics found at one of their nights, whose rosters cover all demographic bases.
The world-leading online electronic music magazine Resident Advisor present a surprisingly accessible lineup for their habitually esoteric high-brow tastes:
Mercury-nominated SBTRKT, masked dance-crossover crusader, sets to headline proceedings on the decks. His set will likely span the vast generic palate audible in his productions, no doubt including many similarly bass-informed chart-botherers sharing the roster with him (most names feature in his Radio 1 Essential Mix of last year).
Joining him is conjoint golden boy of 2011 UK dance Rustie, whose Glass Swords somehow escaped nomination for this year’s mercuries, despite winning debut of the year at The Guardian. His maximalist mash of genres has proved ubiquitously popular in dance music scenes and beyond, and has proved pivotal within the current ‘trap’ scene spearheaded by fellow Glaswegian and LuckyMe veteran Hudson Mohawke.
Also bolstering the line-up include gruesome Techno-head Blawan as well as live shows from Koreless, Shed and Shackleton.
