MELT: Daniel Bell, Gio Shengelia, Sky Rivers

Worlds Apart, Together Edition

What moves may also rise; for the hour is certain to come, so forgive graciously...

We are honored to welcome Gio Shengelia to Los Angeles. A venerable beacon to the Tbilisi scene, Shengelia embodies the founding spirit of electronic music; its clandestine medium, grounds, & society. Resistance and acceptance; rebellion and surrender. A mark of true intelligence is the ability to tolerate two competing ideas in your mind and maintain the ability to function.

Daniel Bell: a legend spanning decades and universes. When Bell entered Detroit in the early 90’s; techno was loud, fast, and maximalist. While most were adding layers, Bell took an alternative route - chasing groove and tension over complexity and build up; creating the minimal techno sound.

Warming up the night with a deep bag, extensive knowledge, and a carefully orchestrated craftsmanship is Sky Rivers. Delivering a balanced homage to the practice, the history, and the legacies; intertwined with a narrative voice saying something new.

Melt.
Los Angeles.
10pm - late.
