Awkwatch X Doggabarka

Electronic voice from the underground sound of the city re-emerges and presents producers, storytellers, and sit-alone-listeners eyes to three upcoming pillars of the Wellington music scene.

Electronic shoegaze duo Laluna open the show with blissful dreampop soundscapes and serene harmonic melodies, layered to breathe divine into space and time. Backed by a live band, Laluna grow their ethereal voice onstage, further expanding the encapsulating reverie of their musical catalogue.

Doggabarka, experimental electro rap artist, presents work from his latest release to his very first album. Chilling visuals and gritty noise art propels the unexpected maze of sound fronted by Doggabarka's lyrical storytelling. An air of mystery moves aggressive beats and industrial detail into hypnotic and addictive alt hip-hop creation.

Infecting audiences with his high energy stage presence and vibrant, ever-moving beats, Awkwatch bends influence of rap, hip-hop, and trap sound into a captivating presentation of electronic rhythm. Unusual synth play, boosted by travelling 808 bass, paints a sonic palette of vivid colour and honest creativity, harnessed by dynamic vocal staging.

Catch all three artists at Valhalla on Thursday, October 1st.
