These days, to leave even the briefest of imprints on the ever-increasingly saturated orbit of dance music can be considered a feat in itself. To make a lasting mark, however, one that manages to cut through the onslaught of new music and artist profiles on spotlight each day, is another accomplishment entirely. Cue Dauwd, the US-born, Wales-raised artist who’s been releasing music for nearly 6 years on such noted labels as Ghostly International and Kompakt, and whose debut album Theory of Colors is released via Ninja Tune imprint Technicolour Records. An integral member of the Berlin night and radio show African Acid Is The Future, Dauwd Al Hilali’s releases have been met with as much expectation as they have intrigue. Spending the last few years out of the limelight and in his Berlin studio, Dauwd’s music has continued to ripple through clubs as his singular, sometimes thrillingly uncertain process of experimentation has continued. As a DJ, label head, radio host and curator with over a decade of experience in the music industry, Marco Weibel is a connector in the truest sense of the word. Whether crisscrossing genres behind the decks or hosting events, he’s known to draw a diverse crowd that quickly become loyal followers. Centered around the spirit of community, his parties foster friendships that reflect music’s unifying nature. Originally from Singapore but based in New York since 2014, Marco comes from a rich cultural heritage that’s reflected in his DJ sets. Drawing similarities to Hunee & Floating Points, his selections traverse a range of sounds, often jumping from spiritual jazz to Thai funk to UK garage in a single session—a testament to his deep crates and skilled mixing. Inspired by legendary parties and spaces such as Paradise Garage, The Shelter, Plastic People and Deviation, Marco explores old and new underground styles in the spirit of educating and entertaining dancers. Exploring the sounds of techno, electro, ambient, breaks and post-punk, Solpara is a Lebanese-American producer and DJ born and based in New York City. Starting in 2010, after moving to Montreal, he and his friends Oren Ratowsky (aka revlux) and Valentin Stip started the underground event series and record label Booma Collective. Since then he has released music on labels like Other People, Quiet Time, L.P.C - and just recently Poland's Brutaż. Solpara has also been playing live and DJ sets locally and internationally, sharing bills with artists like the Zenker Brothers, Objekt, Marie Davidson, Essaie Pas, Huerco S, Mono Junk, Lee Gamble, Nicolas Jaar, and Via App among others. Notable appearances include Boiler Room NYC, MUTEK Montréal & MUTEK San Francisco, B018 in Beirut, Demi-Monde in Paris and Światło in Warsaw. // Club Level // Dauwd (Psssh Records, Ninja Tune | London) soundcloud.com/dauwd Marco Weibel (Darker than Wax | NYC) soundcloud.com/marcoweibel Solpara (Booma Collective | NYC) soundcloud.com/solpara // Green Room // AMRA soundcloud.com/amr-abdelfattah-317229794 ZURA // Flash Bar // Hot Wave soundcloud.com/user-498316338 TV Hill soundcloud.com/tvhillrecords _________________________________ Flash Safe Space Policy Flash stands firmly against non-consensual behavior, discrimination, harassment or harm of any kind.
