OUTLINE: Flying Lotus, ∈Y∋, Olof Dreijer, Black Dice, + more
About This Event
OUTLINE presents a cross-section of left-field electronic practice at the Knockdown Center, with a lineup including Flying Lotus, ∈Y∋, Olof Dreijer, Black Dice and EYE. The bill pairs Flying Lotus's dense, rhythm-driven DJ sets with Dreijer's structural, timbral approach and Black Dice's texture-focused experimentalism. EYE and ∈Y∋ occupy the connective ground between IDM, glitch and club-oriented pacing.
