Flight Facilities announce debut Boiler Room show in Sydney
Get ready for a mind flex – Samsung Electronics Australia and Boiler Room today announce Infinity Sounds, an immersive, audio-visual show that marks the first Boiler Room event to be captured exclusively through the lens of a smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S8. Broadcast live from a secret inner Sydney warehouse location, the collaborative event will see the audience get up close and personal with Flight Facilities, New York’s Jacques Renault, Kllo and Adi Toohey in a previously unseen way, while enjoying the engaging work of futuristic visual artists, Nic Hamilton and Dave Mackenzie of Unsigned Studio.
Responsible for the boundary-pushing visuals behind electronic music pioneers Warp Records and the likes of Hudson Mohawke, Night Slugs, Fade to Mind, LuckyMe and the London Chamber Orchestra - Hamilton and Mackenzie specialise in creative technologies, augmented reality and interaction design, curating unique moving visuals across the globe. The acclaimed artists will conceptualise the evening’s visuals to complement the Samsung Galaxy S8’s edge-to-edge Infinity Display and the incredible low-light performance of its high-res, fast-shooting cameras, which are suited perfectly to ‘the club’.
Australia’s own Flight Facilities make their highly awaited Boiler Room debut at the Infinity Sounds event. The duo released their long-anticipated new single and video “Arty Boy” with Emma Louise this month, the first taste of new music since their gold certified, world-toured, twice ARIA-nominated debut LP Down to Earth. They now return to where it all began with an intimate DJ set from their hometown, Sydney.
Flying in from New York’s Brooklyn, Jacques Renault makes a special return to Australian shores for the one-night only affair. The DJ, remixer and producer whose co-run house, disco & techno party and label of the same name, Let’s Play House, has fans on all sides of the globe. Voted New York’s best DJ by PAPER Magazine, Renault is not to be missed for his unrivalled vinyl collection and illustrious DJ sets.
Their warm and woozy house-tinged productions have garnered praise from around the world, and now Melbourne’s Simon Lam and Chloe Kaul (AKA Kllo) head North for their Boiler Room debut. Endorsed by BBC Radio 1, and named ones to watch via Spotify and ELLE Magazine, the pair have supported Maribou State and SOHN on the way to perfecting their unique live show.
One of Sydney’s favourite independent music supporters, Adi Toohey will open the evening’s proceedings. Holding the coveted Saturday Sunset slot at FBi Radio, Toohey is a mainstay across some of the country’s largest festivals and has supported The Black Madonna, Hunee, Tornado Wallace and Soichi Terada.
Evolving from the UK's rich pirate radio heritage, Boiler Room has grown from a webcam taped on a warehouse wall to become a definitive showcase of new music worldwide. In just seven years Boiler Room has weaved itself into the fabric of dance music culture, boasting an envious back catalogue of live sets from the likes of Jamie XX, Thom Yorke, Chet Faker, Richie Hawtin and ?uestlove.
Following Boiler Room’s recent live broadcast performance of AIR in partnership with the Sydney Opera House and VIVID Live, the undisputed home for underground music returns to the New South Wales capital in July for a dynamic adventure in sound and vision, in collaboration with the Samsung Galaxy S8.
Don't miss Samsung Galaxy S8 x Boiler Room presenting Infinity Sounds, broadcast worldwide from Sydney on Sunday 16 July. Infinity Sounds will be held in a secret Sydney warehouse location announced on the day and is a private, RSVP guest list-only affair. For your chance to attend, RSVP for free HERE.
