Dissemblance Carte Blanche w/ Dissemblance [02.07.24]

There are so many excellent parties in London, something for everyone you might say. However, Orientate founder John Xie spotted a gap and an opportunity to improve and better the representation of the East Asian community through an eclectic series of nights which showcase leftfield electronic music from across the region.

Originally from the US, the now East London based DJ is creating a place in which he can call home.

From a musical perspective, his background is wide, as influenced by abstract sounds as he is that for the club.

That being said, when it comes to the dancefloor, he has more than a trick or two up his sleeve as the mix showcases. It weaves and wanders between breaks before entering faster territories toward the close.
