We continue the countdown to our upcoming bday party with a shout out to our next artist, Bristol-based, DJ Azure!
DJ Azure has been smashing all flavours of new and old skool rave for several years now with his strictly vinyl, high-energy sets. He's been running the epic Dissonance nights in Bristol for the past 4 years alongside ADM and Hugh (Baare), hosting some of the finest parties and line ups (and a huge source of inspiration for us here at Headspace).
His residency at the legendary Distant Planet events, both in Bristol and London are a testament to his quality mixing and selection.
Earlier this year, Azure did an incredible all-1993 mix for us as part of our 1st birthday podcast – link in comments if you missed it!
Make sure you’re with us, front-left at The Moon on 28 October – it’s going right off!
Tickets still available via Skiddle: https://www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Cardiff/The-Moon/Headspace-1st-Birthday-with-Nookie/36592626/
Next up in the spotlight, we’re incredibly excited to shout about Alchemist / Amy.Kisnorbo.
After listening to several of her mixes, radio shows and seeing her smash her set at Rupture in Bristol, we knew we had to bring Amy to Cardiff!
Producer and vocalist Amy Kisnorbo returned to her UK roots, landing in Bristol in 2020 having spent the previous 5 years honing her DJ skills and playing out under her moniker Alchemist in Australia. Becoming a mainstay of the warehouse and boutique festival scenes supporting a host of local and international talent, including acts such as Amit, Djinn, Fixate, Headland, J:Kenzo, Shades and VIVEK.
Since her return to the UK Amy has had continued success, with releases such as her remix for Sam binga & Addison Groove ‘gal ectro' (PNPL)vocal feature on Oliver Yorke’s 'Touch' (CNVX), guest mixes for Om Unit on SWU fm and J:Kenzo on Rinse fm and, her own SWU FM residency with guests such as The librarian, Niknak, A.Fruit, and sweetpea.
And when it comes to club nights, some highlights have been playing for the Keep Hush turbo tour, Rupture, PNPL and most recently, Hvywght at Brixton Electric.
This only but adds to the last five years of several successes for Amy, her debut 6 track EP ‘volition’ which received vast support (Radio 6, Rinse Fm, Swu Fm), vocal features on Crypticz tracks ‘Ocean Blue’ (Western Lore) + ’Chrysalis’ (Cosmicbridge), and Collaborations with Royalston (Medschool) on his album 'Popular Mechanics'.
2023 has been another strong year for Amy, having dropped her club focused EP 'Verb Works' on Sam Binga’s Pineapple Records label in March, which gained support from the likes of LCY, Stringray, Jossy Mitsu and Borai. And just last month, her remix of Om Unit’s track ‘Strange Brew’ dropped on his Acid Dub Versions 2 album.
Expect to be taken on a unique bassy journey across the 150+ spectrum when Amy joins us on 28 October at The Moon Cardiff 💥
