SUMMARY:Romare (Live)
LOCATION:Fox Cabaret
DESCRIPTION:‍\n\nAs Romare\, Archie Fairhurst’s working practice is roo
 ted in collage\, building vividnew forms out of existing material. Playful
  and immediate\, but also deeplyresearched and compelling\, his albums and
  performances reaching back to 2012unfurl as a patchwork of inspirations a
 nd obsessive lines of enquiry made up of aglobal panoply of source materia
 l.\n\nThe clue is in the name – Fairhurst called himself Romare in tribu
 te to RomareBearden\, the lauded American multi-disciplinary artist most r
 enowned for his incisivecollages. In Bearden’s process Fairhurst saw a w
 ay to approach the infinite pool ofelectronic music production\, channelli
 ng his wealth of music knowledge into creatingmusic from existing sonic ma
 terial and bedding themes into his juxtapositions for amore considered app
 roach to sampling.\n\nNo music lover sticks on one sound their whole lives
 \, and so naturally Fairhurst’sareas of focus have evolved over time fro
 m the breakout impact of his 2012 debut onBlack Acre\, Meditations On Afro
 centrism\, through a run of albums on Ninja Tunereaching up to 2020’s re
 flection on place and belonging\, Home. Projections is adirect homage to B
 earden’s work\, and the Love Songs releases draw on the richseam of roma
 ntic music as a jump-off point. Having lived a nomadic life himselfgrowing
  up\, his source material has moved around over time\, but increasingly th
 esampling becomes more opaque and enmeshed within other instrumentation wh
 ichrounds out the Romare sound. 2022’s Fantasy expands on that idea with
  a moreabstract approach\, folding elements from 1970s fantasy cinema into
  his distinctivestrain of rhythmic\, off-centre electronica and heralding 
 the start of his own label\, YouSee.\n\nFor all the considered concepts an
 d unusual arrangements\, Romare’s music isdance music at heart\, and it 
 remains a natural transplant into the live and clubenvironment. At times F
 airhurst has pulled together a full line-up to render his musicon stage 
 – something of a call back to his roots playing guitar and drums in band
 s –but elsewhere he’s at home sequencing and arranging his music solo
 \, re-mouldingalbum material in the moment with the flexibility which danc
 e music so oftenrequires. Equally\, he has DJ’d prolifically around the 
 world with an omnivorousapproach which serves as a logical extension of hi
 s studio craft\, balancing hiddencorners of historical investigation with 
 the kinetic impulse of modern club music.\n\nMinimum age: 19+\n\nBoletos:
