Sunset Labs - LIVE Event Recordings

The fourth installment of Erotica Electronica was predictable - sexy, saucy, bass-laden and jam packed full of yumminess. Applecat's live set was no different, confidently meandering through various bass riddims and keeping everyone smiling and sweaty.  Enjoy!

From deep in the archives!  Happy to unearth on HIS birthday, the set he played for OUR birthday, way back in 2008! Sunset's formative years, and Desunos was part of it all.  Enjoy this beautiful bounce-laden journey from an earlier version of our main man - Desunos!

Way back a looooong time ago, back before a huge community swelled up around our Erotica Electronica series... there was the FIRST one that was held on Vancouver Island.. at Sunset.. and our fierce priestess of WUBS stole the show. As she does. 

Today, I post this as a birthday present to dearest Applecat... long someone who brings out the beauty and love in people... and gives people amazing spaces & dancefloors to express themselves in, and sometimes, to find themselves in. 

Deepest bows to Applecat.

The Dance of the Dead Halloween series at Sunset Room has long been one of the most anticipated events of our year! With a ton of attention to detail, costuming, bodypainting, decoration and always an epic lineup focused around progressive & tech house, this night never disappoints. Here is the live recording from Dust's most fantastic set from the 2011 installation of Dance of the Dead!

Compass Rose was raised on the beats of reggae, dub, African chants, trip hopping vocals, opera, and Indian breaks; she grew up dancing to the world. Long fascinated with the physical sensations and kinesthetic impulses sound can produce, she now finds herself behind the decks, delighted to share with you her long time passion for the dance floor. Allowing you to choose the route, Compass Rose simply guides you in your dancing journey. Her sets materialize as deep bodied dub, playful glitch, mysterious downtempo, psychedelic trances, trip-hop-hip-hop vocal magic, and funkalicious grooves.

On a beautiful May 4th evening the "Raize the Hoof" Tour arrived in Victoria with Lynx, Buckman Coe - and the ever-inspiring (and equally ridiculous) The Tailor!  Joining forces to raise funds & awareness for the White Crow Farm Project, these generous and committed musicians packed the dance floor for a long night of bliss.  Here is The Tailor's brilliantly woven contribution to this journey. Enjoy!

THE TAILOR ::.
aka Tarran the Tailor
----------------------------------------------------------------
The first thing you notice in the Tailor's music is the texture. 
It is Sensual, wound with found sounds swept from dusty floors of the world. Wrapped in ribbon and whisper, holler and moan, it borrows from the blues, and travels through the desert, with a bass banjo and beatbox broken in just the right way.

His legendary Live performances have been delighting, confounding and seducing audiences across the West Coast for more years than he would care to admit. Highlights include residency at Shambhalah Living Stage for the last ten years, an opening slot for a Beats Antique tour, and playing the Fusion festival in Berlin.

This year will be his busiest Touring schedule to date, and two Ep releases planned, and travel up and down the west coast and europe. His music has been featured on many soundtracks, including the short film Bury him in the Desert, the cooking show the Perennial plate, a crazy swedish fishing documentary, and a number of racy love scenes. of course. 

His last album " The Salt " is an ocean faery tale, about a man who leaves to cross the sea and begin a new life for his family, but goes down in a storm, and can only return after a long dance with the siren queen. It blends elements of Balkan Beat, Orchestral Folk, and Ambient Sounds into dark blue sea of an album.
