Fresh off the stage at Meredith Music Festival, Close Counters are bringing their full live show back to Melbourne/Naarrm at The Night Cat.
Joined by 4 piece jazz outfit JK Group led by Josh Kelly (30/70 collective) and local selector Sophie McAllister.
CLOSE COUNTERS:
Emerging from the depths of Tasmania are Allan McConnell and Finn Rees who are Close Counters. Since forming in 2013, the duo have crafted an electrifying fusion of electronic, house and soul with a healthy dose of dense synths and funky basslines.
After honing in on their signature sound as well as embarking on an intensive nine-month residency in Europe, the duo released their first full-length project in 2018 called SOULACOASTA, a 12-track whirlwind ride through re-sampled soul and deep groove. 2019 saw the release of their latest EP REFRACTIONS developing further into their infectious dance style with local collaborations such as Laneous, Paul Bender, Elle Shimada and Wallace.
Following their explosive appearance at Meredith, Close Counters are sure to bring the heat for their first live show of 2020.
JK GROUP:
JK group brings together jazz stylings with current influences including broken-beat, house, and hip-hop, but with a distinctive emphasis on bebop-style improvisation. JK Group sits in the crossover of raw, live jazz and electronic/dance production. At times synth heavy, effected and soundscapey, while at other times hard hitting groove laden with spiritual jazz overtones.
JK Group are set to release their debut LP in early 2020 on local independent record label, La Sape.
SOPHIE MCALLISTER:
Behind the counter at Northside records and weekly resident at Magnetic City, Sophie is no stranger to Melbourne’s music scene. With no bounds, Sophie has been liberally firing jams at dance floors all over Melbourne for the past couple of years – working closely with Crown Ruler and Rhythm Section families, but always being a musical friend to all.
Prep yourself for some cosmic deep house, sassy disco sizzlers and polyrhythmic clicks of brokenbeat as she catches you off guard with a wink and a smile.
We acknowledge that this event is held on stolen land traditionally owned by the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We pay respects to elders past, present and emerging. Always was always will be aboriginal land.
