Experience the Extravaganza: A Night of Immersive LIVE Electronic Music
This Thursday, immerse yourself in a unique auditory and visual experience at Kremwerk, where the Northwest Film Forum and Decibel present “Action Potential” featuring the innovative artist Laurel Halo. Renowned for her intriguing soundscapes, Halo will be joined on stage by exceptional local talent, promising an evening filled with pulsating beats and stunning visuals.
Featuring Laurel Halo: A Musical Pioneer
Laurel Halo, a seminal figure in the electronic music landscape, has built her artistic identity through a diverse blend of abstract rhythms, chaotic ambiance, and moody jazz influences. Hailing from the culturally rich backdrop of Ann Arbor, Michigan, Halo’s sound is deeply infused with her Midwestern roots. She has released two acclaimed full-length albums under the reputable Hyperdub Records, showcasing her ability to weave complex narratives through sound.
As Halo poignantly expresses, “Techno is a meditative force that can process darkness and remove problems … in their place, the ideal of a non-threatening, transcended, sexually charged headspace emerges.” This philosophy is not just a guiding principle for her music; it’s a mantra for the transformative experiences she aims to create during her live performances.
Local Support and Diverse Lineup
Joining Halo are You’re Me and Bardo:Basho, two amazing local talents who will elevate the night with their live sets. You’re Me, part of the 1080p collective, is known for intricate sound design that resonates with both heart and mind. Meanwhile, Bardo:Basho, from the Elevator/SEA label, delivers a distinct blend that captivates audiences with its experimental edge.
The night will also feature DJ Explorateur, whose sets are celebrated for their energy and infectious rhythm. With a reputation as a key player in the Seattle scene—associated with Rare Aire, False Prophet, and TUF—his contribution promises to keep the dance floor pulsating.
The Venue: Kremwerk
In just under two years, Kremwerk has established itself as a pioneering venue in Seattle’s electronic music scene. Unlike conventional clubs, Kremwerk’s intimate setting provides a uniquely immersive environment for curious dancers and electronic music aficionados. With a commitment to a culture of respect and consent, the venue not only fosters an inclusive atmosphere—complete with gender-neutral bathrooms—but also actively encourages a digital detox by reminding attendees to keep their phones off the dance floor.
