studio table-bleue

After a 20 year hiatus, LA-based artist Jeremy Kennedy marks her return to the hazardous electronic playground of outbound, beat-driven sound with a new record under the telling new moniker, d.j. again. Though the tag quickly suggests many narratives threatening to create their own feedback loops, Kennedy embraces them, allowing the d.j. again production style to empty out the escapism at the range that you want both in reflection and present tense with a designer lo-fi aesthetic that only the moaning highlights of a half-broken, semi-affordable PA system could muse upon.

For para by para, she will be presenting a blend of newly constructed tracks combined with essential sips of unreleased material from the artist’s ghost-of-EDM-past as a disjunctive two-channel composition where sound meets event-specific projection, in collaboration with John Dawson and Alee Peoples.

More than leftfield leftovers, this curated collection captures the heavily-syncopated post-trap drum lines and computer noise of the existing genre, with a harder brutalist push toward the future soundsystem. A self-designed remix of identity.

Created for para by para, an immersive (hyper)active listening party that incites haptic encouter via multichannel composition that encompasses restless spatial practice, responsive sound, revisionist temporal collage...and you.
