Sep 7: Free the Robots
LA-based
artist Chris Alfaro wants you to free some robots, ostensibly by
dancing for their return to the sound of his musical project, Free the
Robots. In addition to advocating for the rights of the artificially
intelligent, Alfaro bumps a mind-bending mixture of hip-hop beats and
electronic music, with moments of jazz and psychedelia. No word yet on
whether there will be robots at the show.
Thu Sep 7; tickets TBD; Dada, see event listing.
Sep 8: Optimo @ Dada
Optimo, or Optimo (Espacio) as they also go by, was founded in 1997 and ran until 2010 as a weekly Sunday-night club playing techno, electronic and rock at the Sub Club in Glasgow. It’s also the collective name for the night’s resident DJ duo JD Twitch and JG Wilkes, who continue to tour and release new music. This year marks the duo’s 20th anniversary. As part of the celebrations, Optimo will play at Dada Beijing on September 8. Support comes Tanner and Juhstynn.
