Sweeping VIews [Philadelphia]

Only For Robots 140 comes from a friend of ours, Wade Ellis Wilby, who has been collecting and playing ambient music since 1996. He also has toured with bands, nationally under a different alias, for 20 years, Some noteable festivals he has performed at include; Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, and Camp Bisco. 

It is an honor to share this special debut session from one of the most genuine souls we have ever met. One of the first times we ever played out of our own cities, Wade invited us to Philly to play on a Tuesday night. His enthusiasm for what we were doing was greatly appreciated. He plans on performing under Sweeping Views in the near future. Enjoy!

Lokua is a Chicago based producer and live p/a artist currently focused on minimal, acid-laden, flooriented, swung and polymetric techno. His tools of choice include anything and everything from a laptop and MIDI controllers, to 100s of HP of Eurorack, samplers, drum machines, and polysynths. He brings with him over 25+ years of songwriting experience. 
 
Lokua began his life as a musician making beats in his mother's basement and selling cassette tapes in high school primarily to aid freestyle cyphers. Increasingly inspired by groundbreaking artists like DJ Premier, Aphex Twin, Larry Heard, and Brian Eno, as well as Chicago's underground legends The Opus (of Rubberroom), Lokua immersed himself in the art of live p/a. This eventually led to co-founding the Moment Sound collective and label with fellow artists Slava and Garo, who together held down residencies focused on live electronic music and motion graphics at Subterranean, Darkroom, Rodan, Morseland, and other venues across Chicago. Lokua has released tracks on Moment Sound, Don't Trust Humans, Smooth Agent, Diane's Hunting Club, CPKAY, in addition to self releases. He has opened for artists such as Luke Slater, Claude Young, and Daedalus. He is currently a member of The Listening Club and Podval crews.
