Spacing Out

Spacing Out

at
Keys Lounge
from 6 to 10pm

This set leans heavily on groove-based music from the 1970s onward, anchored by jazz-funk and soul threaded through with West African Afrobeat and highlife, Jamaican roots and dub, and the angular post-punk dance-funk of ESG and Liquid Liquid. Around that core it ranges widely—Giorgio Moroder's sequenced disco, Turkish psych-folk from Altın Gün, French electronic pop from Air and Stereolab, and a strand of early-'80s new wave and synth-pop (Kraftwerk, the Cure, the Police, A Flock of Seagulls)—much of it instrumental or built around a steady rhythmic pocket.
