More Info
After a series of loft and warehouse events we are bringing the next installment of our party to the Littlefield art space. This time the night will light up to the sounds of Toronto’s visionary Basic Soul Unit (marking his debut in New York), as well as city’s own dance-floor incendiary and frequent DFA collaborator Brennan Green, joined by the residents Lenny de la Posso, Helping Hands and J Red. Augmenting the aural experienc…e will be the enigmatic glow of “Twenty First Century Bonfire” by Jason Eppink, along with flowing video and slide projections by Mechaneyes and Ruby Gold.

Stuart Li aka Basic Soul Unit was born in Hong Kong and raised in Toronto, where his musical tastes were formed under the influence of the nearby dance music hubs. Taking in Chicago’s jack, New York’s groove, and Detroit’s machine soul, he augmented them with the elements of jazz, funk and Brazilian rhythms which he picked up during his years at Toronto’s vinyl outlet Cosmo Records. Together these parts have formed the unique sound of Basic Soul Unit, which has since found its place on records released by such forward-thinking labels as Ostgut Ton, Philpot, Versatile, Creme Organization and Mule Musiq. Stuart’s DJ sets showcase the full range of his diverse musical tastes while keeping a firm grip on the dancefloor with heavy-hitting shuffling house, crunchy techno and an occasional broken beat curve-ball.

Largely associated with the recent New York disco revival and his excellent studio work, it seems that Brennan Green’s favorite past-time behind the decks is drawing the unsuspecting party-goers into a pitch-perfect dance trip consisting of selections ranging from lost Krautrock relics to sweltering acid-techno workouts. After witnessing him quickly whip the crowd into the best kind of frenzy at the very first Sound Noir event we had no doubts that the man had to become a repeat offender of our dancefloors.

Featuring “Twenty First Century Bonfire” by Jason Eppink http://jasoneppink.com/
Twenty-First Century Bonfire is an aleatoric light sculpture created by a self-proclaimed “urban alchemist” and “rapid prototyper” Jason Eppink. The Bonfire consists of seven rescued television sets topped by a protruding matrix of PVC pipes that diffuses live television broadcasts into a shifting array of rich colors and abstract shapes. These heavily-researched and targeted messages of consumption—all provided free of charge by unwitting corporate collaborators—are filtered into abstraction simply by scattering them inside the PVC piping, rendering the process entirely transparent yet mesmerizing to the curious observer.

Littlefield is a 6200-square foot warehouse dating from the 1920s, which was converted to performance and art space with the use of recycled materials and sustainable wind power. In addition to the two main fully air-conditioned spaces it boasts an inside smoking/drinking landscaped courtyard and a bar that serves both unique cocktails and $3 beers.
