Prins Thomas

Posted in by Scott | Edit

The venue was the Spiegeltent, an old school pop-up cabaret style tent with a ton of charm, perfect for the cosmic laid-back beats put on display by the Norwegian DJ Prins Thomas. And we were lucky enough to witness an intimate three and a half hour set as part of the Perth Fringe World Festival. Prins paid homage to the great classic tunes while mixing in a nice collection smooth new age disco beats.
The gig had a great atmosphere that encouraged some inventive dance moves from some punters, even spawning a conga line at one point. The gig was said to be a sell out, but at some points, the crowd seemed pretty sparse. In all though, it was a pretty good night and a good start to the Fringe World Festival. I am excited to see what else this festival brings. Heres a few photos I took before I accidentally broke my camera in two.

Abroad pt.1: Paris

Posted in , , , by Eric | Edit
Bonjour, we just had a seriously fun time in paris and thought we'd share. We were shown briefly through the local art and music window by our friends at Tigersushi.

After soaking in all the usual Parisian landmarks we navigated our way through some shopping districts. After initially being lost we found alleyways full of great shops we highly recommend the district around Rue Vieille du Temple.

Where we also found the best falafel.

Next stop the awesome Tigersushi HQ.

After meeting the Tigersushi crew, Krikor and the lovely Charlotte showed us through Joakim's impressive studio.





A short walk away was the Tigersushi furs store. The furs is a must stop next time your on a shopping spree in Paris. You might be lucky enough to see the Scenic tshirt.


Paris is also the home of some incredible art, as we found at Fafi's latest exhibition.


That night and over the next few days we experienced the local music scene with the Fafi after party featuring Carte Blanche + Brodinski (Cobrasnake), the Breakbot Fantasy ep launch and Krikor and Jackson Tigersushi night. We were amazed by how close, tight nit and friendly the Paris music community is. Although we only experienced a brief time in Paris we were impressed by the support each label and artists gave each other. Countless modern electro icons including Gaspard, Brodinski, Surkin, Busy P, DJ Mehdi, Aeroplane, Riton, Tiga, Teki Latex, So Me and many more came to watch and support their fellow Parisian artists. Furthermore we were lucky to meet a number of them through the popular Charlotte.

Many thanks to Charlotte, Krikor and the Tigersushi crew we had a great time in Paris!

On another note our remix of Mitzi´s Morning Light is out on Future Classic.

Really digging this new release from Kolombo. Spaced out vocals, smooth progressive arpeggios and huge pads all over the place.

Moments

Posted in by Adam | Edit

Perth producer Moments is the founder of one of Scenic's favorite blogs Warm Kitten. He's currently losing himself somewhere in the world last time we heard he was in Milan. This jet setting and time away from the hustle and bustle of Perth is reflected in his new line of edits. My favourite being his rework of Bon Iver Blood Bank (Moments 'Good Girl' Rework). This track is perfect for a lazy afternoon relaxing by the pool and i feel draws good minimal influences from James Blake.
