Tonight at the Roadhouse, TEAM CO YO present the one and only indie/disco/electro machine JOAKIM!
==========================================================================
Ahead of our summer of rumbles we’re jumping into bed with the irresistible NOW WAVE to bring a very special guest dj from the bonkers Gaelic disco machine JOAKIM, as part of the Tiger Sushi 10 Year Anniversary tour. Cunningly situated as an after party for the LCD Soundsystem show, JOAKIM will be taking to the decks treating us to some of his epic back catalogue of original works, remixes and re-edits, alongside a barrage of treasure from the depths of his record collection.
“Joakim is hard to pin down: part club music, part jazz, part electronic experimentalism.
One of France’s foremost electronic musicians, Joakm has a background in classical music, US & UK indie rock and jazz. He discovered electronic music after a schoolfriend left his synthetiser in Joakim's room, later latching onto indie and electronic labels such as Warp and Mo Wax. His first album ‘Tiger Sushi’ was ambient electro-jazz, before he moved onto electronics with ‘Fantômes’ [2003], and later ‘Monsters and Silly Songs’ [2007], on which he combines post-rock, disco, electronics and, well, silly songs. "Making a pure dance album would almost be like composing an album entirely in F major,” says Joakim. “I jump from one idea to the next. I simply have to try everything and see where it leads." - Resident Advisor
Joakim has always stretched the boundaries of electronic music and constantly come up with some of the biggest tracks that we’ve had the joy to play… Notable mentions have to go to “I Wish You Were Gone”, “Come Into My Kitchen” and “Drumtrax” plus his massive remixes of Dj Mehdi’s “Pocket Piano” and Friendly Fires’ “On Board”.
Support comes in the form of Resident Disco Jockeys from both nights stepping toe to toe dishing out the finest audio treasure!
