LISTENING SESSION: Slow Rising with Spurge

About

At home, I like to take my time starting my day. Time feels prolonged and in these quiet first moments, I can come into my body, mind and soul. Join me in this practice at Silence Please. DJ and musician, Spurge deejays in a dialectical fashion - weaving opposing elements together to construct a singular, narrative experience - honoring the practice of storytelling through selection in tandem with the sport-like aspects of DJing. His style of mixing audaciously blends genre - jumping from dancehall to rock, techno, electro, disco, house, to dub, hip hop, ambient...all in service of the story of the set. Spurge’s musical voice is bolstered by a decade in New York nightlife. He’s played at institutions like Good Room, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Public Records, Nowadays, and has been involved in projects such as The Lot Radio, Captured Tracks Record Shop, Sustain-Release, and Resident Advisor. His versatility as a DJ is further demonstrated through bookings outside of the club for entities like Ace Hotel, Eavesdrop, NTS, Soho House, and Something Special Studios, as well as international bookings like Mitsuki (Tokyo), Offtrack (Singapore), and Super Rayo (Bogotá).
