9-3, FRIDAY 29 MARCH 2013 AT BIRTHDAYS

£5 Early Birds available from www.soundcrashmusic.com

Get down and dirty to the finest electronica in East London’s venue du jour Birthdays with the Chilean fLako playing a rare London set and Rough Trade electronic music specialist Boba Fatt. We’ll also have a special guest on the night we are not allowed to announce just to keep things interesting!

Unintentionally off-the-grid and committed to his personal sound evolution, fLako is more of a Soul-documentarian than a typical beat maker. With roots in Chile, raised in Germany, and currently living in London via Berlin – the man himself is a melange of flavor. His particular sonic palette is a mercurial blend of warm analogue colors and cutting-edge design. His writing is marked by manifest emotion.

As co-head of acclaimed London label Eglo, and long-running host of balmy Saturday afternoon sessions on Rinse FM, Alexander Nut has become famed for his wide ranging approach to selection. The sounds covered both by his label and his show are defiantly unhindered by genre, searching instead for a common atmosphere to bind the music together. “I’m a vibes person,” he agrees. “I don’t really plan things too much, I always just go off the vibe of what’s going on.”

The event will take place at Birthdays in Dalston; a new and very welcome addition to the London club scene with its state of the art sound system and intimate feel, the perfect venue to get down and let loose on this bank holiday Friday. Join us!
