Madcap Touring in association with BBE, Red Rum Touring & Mazdef Productions present
SHLOHMO (WEDIDIT/US) - NZ TOUR 2014
With Kamandi & guests to be confirmed
Shlohmo is the creation of 22-year-old Henry Laufer, LA-native and visual artist turned selftaught musician. As a founding member of the WEDIDIT collective (RL Grime, Groundislava, D33j, Purple, 2kwtvr, Juj, Nick Melons), Henry’s early work placed him at the forefront of a new wave of rising talent amongst west coast producers. With an effortless grasp on sound design, Laufer combines deceptively simple and emotive melodies, subtle bass drops and swinging slow motion drums. Receiving support from Pitchfork, BBC Radio, the New York Times, NPR, Resident Advisor and many others, Shlohmo leads the way in a new generation of promising young producers with his unique blend of dark and sensual R&B tropes.
Kamandi (aka Tyrone Frost) is one of the leading lights of New Zealands contemporary electronic music scene. Hailing from Christchurch. A beat-maker, producer and live performer, Kamandis forward leaning soundworld draws measured influence from both the LA beats scene and the deeper, meditative side of the UK bass music continuum.
