Club Freda’s: Yu Su & Harvey Sutherland B2B Bruno Roth
We are pinching ourselves to be welcoming not one, not two, but three world class selectors for a very special night in Club Freda’s. Yu Su will grace our decks for the first time with a very special 3 hour set to close the night out. Whilst Harvey Sutherland returns after packing out the club space last year. This time he will be playing a 5 hour B2B set with Ibiza’s Bruno Roth.
A night of dancefloor ecstasy music incoming!
Kaifeng-born, now London-based Yu Su is a musician, DJ, sound artist and occasional chef. As one of the most prominent Chinese artists with a highly unique voice working across the globe in the last 5 years, her output covers all the ground you’d expect and more. Her multiple critically acclaimed records on UK’s Technicolor (Ninja Tune), Netherlands’s Music from Memory and China’s own Bie Records has seen her nominated for Canada’s Polaris Prize. She has co-produced music with John Carroll Kirby, Duval Timothy and is known for remix works for Parquet Courts, King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, and many more. As a DJ, she is unpredictable, idiosyncratic; just “casually having the dance floor transfixed” have put her on the spotlights at clubs and festivals internationally like Dekmantel, Glastonbury, Boiler Room, iii Points, Nuits Sonores, Rainbow Disco Club, Phonox and so on. She has also recently been featured on the cover of Mixmag magazine, marking the first Chinese cover star. She has composed for feature films and fashion brands like Sacai, Jimmy Choo and London/Shanghai based SAMUEL GUÌ YANG.
Harvey Sutherland, the Melbourne-born record producer, keyboard player, club DJ and bandleader, made a name amongst his hometown’s electronic underground with a string of cult dance singles. Early 12-inches like ‘Bermuda’ and ‘Priestess’ were records in love with classic soul and disco, but his debut album “Boy” was guided by his obsessional traits and habits, ending up in a place he describes as “Neurotic Funk”. His latest album “Debt” is an exercise in techno minimalism — laser-focused club jams like ‘Hummingbird’ and ‘Nobody Like U’ set the stage for Harvey’s next chapter. A seasoned performer, he’s taken his live band to Glastonbury, dragged his Juno-60 into Berghain and turned the Melbourne Recital Centre into a full-fledged nightclub. Eclectic and groovy, Harvey Sutherland is Neurotic Funk.
Bruno Roth is a special guest, all the way from the White Isle. 10th-generation Ibicenco, his family have a rich musical history in Ibiza, with Bruno carrying the torch via his own productions, Cas Gayati label and expertly-selected records in the tradition of the golden years of Balearic club culture. His Australian debut will take you back to Pacha in ’98, whether you were there or not!
