Sundays In The Atrium: Awesome Tapes, Lollise [Live]
About This Event
At Public Records the lineup pairs Awesome Tapes From Africa — the record label and website operated by Brian Shimkovitz, founded in Brooklyn in 2006 and now based in Los Angeles — with a live set by emerging electronic artist Lollise. The pairing places Shimkovitz’s long-running archival project beside Lollise’s club-minded, studio-built performance practice, where rhythm and texture are foregrounded over spectacle.
