CONTORT YOURSELF WITH L.F.T. @ ECHO AND BOUNCE

The clock struck twice this month! For our next get together we’ve got a basement DJ set from Hamburg’s L.F.T. A personal favourite of ours, L.F.T.’s blend of new wave and electro is truly unique. With releases on esteemed labels such as Mannequin, Return to Disorder and Mechatronica, this one will be all time.   We’ve also got a live set from Eccu-Mii (Metaboof), an artist sitting on some incredible music we’re super excited for! DJ sets from contort insiders Cop Presence and TinyFever rounding out the night.  Artist bio  L.F.T. That stands for Love Fist Tears. His music defines itself as a mixture between New Wave and Break Beat Electro which is influenced by the distorted drum machines of The Haque as well as the romantic synth melodies of the 80s San Francisco.  Over the last two years, L.F.T. has released several records on different labels like Return To Disorder, Mechatronica, Eye for An Eye Recordings and also his debut album on Osaré Editions. Living in Hamburg Germany, he curates concert evenings at the Golden Pudel Club, together with his friend Lukas. They also run an independent record label called “Neoprimitive”, which is focuses on experimental music. L.F.T. released his second album “Salz” on Mannequin Records last year and will continue to make music for dark days.    Important info for the night  Contort Yourself exists so we can all have a safe space to get twisted, at our own leisure. We want to reiterate that our events exist as a queer space where everyone is welcome. We recognise the need for an action plan and will have a team on the night working door and moving through the venue to ensure a comfortable night for everyone. If there is anything that bothers you or needs attention, do not hesitate to reach out to Logan, Jo, Angie, our door staff or any of the Refuge staff.  We want to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we will gather, the Yuggerah and Turrbal people of Meanjin. Our events take place on stolen land. We recognise and pay respect to elder’s past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be.

Contort Yourself with L.F.T. (DE), Woolloongabba, Fri 17th Feb 2023, 8:00 pm - Sat 18th Feb 2023, 1:00 am AEST | Humanitix
