STRANGE CADENCE

Middle James are excited to bring their label Strange Cadence back to Chinese Laundry. Celebrating the release of their “Dubs and Delights” EP on Spanish label Miura Records, the duo are joined by friends and talented selectors Melo and Kos. Prepare to be hit with housey, jazzy and deeply danceable selections all night long.

CG DISCS 
CG Discs are fast becoming a staple on Gadigal/Sydney’s party circuit. Blending live jazz bands and electronic music in a dance setting. Developing a dedicated cult following through their Jazz Doof events, they are creating a unique underground sound and culture through musical experimentation with a grassroots/community focus. Bringing this same philosophy into a club setting; expect eclectic and varied selections ranging from afrobeat, disco, samba and jazz to peaktime house, techno, garage and bass music. No nonsense, no sound is off limits, Jazz Doof is forever.

HYBRID MAN [LIVE] 
Hybrid Man is the electronic music project of Naarm-based duo Julien Huynh and Will Holden. Formed in late 2018, the pair’s live set suspends time - drawing you in deep for a moment of keen introspection before erupting into euphoric electronica. Keenly, the imaginative world induced nods at dance music past and present, where it fuses ambient soundscapes with IDM, 90s trance, dubbed-out house, techno and beyond for an all-immersive and timeless experience. At the forefront of Hybrid Man’s union is a mutual penchant for hardware-based production. This passion sees the duo side-by-side maneuvering their equipment with the precision of surgeons, championing left-field sonic artifacts, environmental recordings and manually-played improvisatory instrumentation. A patchwork of influences; Hybrid Man have trailblazed the contemporary downtempo meets techno movement in Naarm, peppering their sound to technical finesse with dub-style mixing and effects. In 2019, Hybrid Man unveiled their first EP 'Lyrebird' on local imprint Papercuts, presenting four spacious cuts of downtempo breaks and house. Continuing on to make their Butter Sessions debut in 2022, they released their second EP 'Shapeshifting'. Combining propulsive sequences with melancholic pads and melodies, Hybrid Man showcased even more of their natural talent for holding the attention of the listener as they might the dancer. A highlight at this year's Inner Varnika Festival, the duo also recently provided headline support for IDM pioneer, Higher Intelligence Agency. With a EU/UK tour on the horizon alongside two new releases this year, Hybrid Man have certainly proved they are not slowing down anytime soon.
