FRWD 016 Ft. Telefon Tel Aviv, Aqua Dominatrix, Burudu (DJ Set) Thursday, 07th September antiSOCIAL, Khar 10:00 PM Onwards *Club Rules Appy" > Telefon Tel Aviv < Telefon Tel Aviv is the musical project of Joshua Eustis, who is trying very hard to make music as a way to sweat out all the nasty things. Formed in 1999, Telefon Tel Aviv started off as an experimental electronic duo by two New Orleans high school friends, Joshua and Charles Cooper. The duo was responsible for one of the noughties’ most memorable albums with the classic debut ‘Fahrenheit Fair Enough’ on the Chicago-based Hefty Records in 2001, surged with intricate electro-rhythms, shimmering guitars and warm analog instrumentation. Telefon Tel Aviv’s tracks are delightfully subtle – lulling sounds combined at times with heavy synth that reflects their emotions in a way that exposes their mastery of ambient electronic music. With the release of ‘Immolate Yourself’ in 2009, they had three critically acclaimed albums under their belt. However, following the untimely death of Cooper, Joshua let IDM pioneers Telefon Tel Aviv drift into hiatus. In the later years, Eustis served as a touring member for Nine Inch Nails and collaborated heavily with Maynard James Keenan’s solo project, Puscifer. In 2014, he released a solo album on Audraglint Recordings as Sons of Magdalene called Move to Pain. Eustis decided to revive the Telefon Tel Aviv alias in 2016, which coincided with the reissue of their debut album on Ghostly and went on to do live shows and tours starting April 2016. Evidently, Telefon Tel Aviv’s soaring, melodic brand of electro is created with painstaking precision and a deep love of music www.soundcloud.com/telefon-tel-aviv > Aqua Dominatrix < Aqua Dominatrix hailing from Mumbai, is producer Akshay Rajpurohit’s pseudonym for his free-floating synthpop self-unleashing his electronic side with his energetic new sounds.Akshay is known more for his work as part of popular metal bands Scribe and Pangea. Aqua Dominatrix sees him not so much step out of his comfort zone as much as leap out of it. He has put out his debut release, a 12-track album titled ‘Sadomist’. His tracks are easy to lose yourself into with their catchy disico infused beats. His first album is an enticing example of what Rajpurohit’s live set could be like, and that will be a show worth checking out. www.soundcloud.com/aquadominatrix > Burudu < Burudu is a two-person band that started unknowingly. They continued to experiment with sound because the reality of creation through destruction of their ideas was self- inspiring, and "satisfying". The combination of their musical differences and sensibilities allowed them to follow the higher idea of mixture and convolution, and continue to create something, yet unknown. Many label releases and free releases, EPs, disguised and discarded albums later, the group is continuing to enhance their sound; in a manner that satisfies them most of all, and in hopes that they can touch the daily life of a listener. www.soundcloud.com/burudu Mixtape www.mixtapelive.in www.facebook.com/mixtapelive www.twitter.com/mixtapelive www.instagram.com/mixtapelive www.youtube.com/mixtapelivein
