Døre kl 19 / koncert kl 20
Bemærk: Koncerten foregår i Valby Kulturhus

Der kommer fuld smæk på hurtige staccato beats, listige sample flips og brummende bas, når Chicago footwork-pioneren PR Boo kommer tilbage ALICE til maj. Sidst han spillede forvandlede han uden overdrivelse salen på Nørre Allé til en proppet, svedig natklub. Nu kommer han endelig tilbage til med sit eminente nye album “Established” (Planet Mu, 2021). Smokey åbner med et support set.

Producer og DJ RP Boo a.k.a. Kavain Space er faderen af Chicago footwork – den lynhurtige, repetitive dans og musik, der flyder over af rytmiske synkoper, staccato beats og brummende bas. Footworken voksede ud af Chicago house i 1990’erne, og siden har dans, rytmer og beats udviklet sig sideløbende i et økosystem, hvor dansere og producere ikke kan undvære hinanden. RP Boo var selv danser før han begyndte at producere musik. Spækket med hektiske high-hats, Roland R-70’erens distinkte klap og mosaikker af samples produceret på Akai S01, er hans tracks da også helt umulige at stå stille til. Med internettet og en håndfuld udgivelser på Planet Mu har RP Boo-hypen spredt sig som en steppebrand. 

RP Boo forvandlede uden overdrivelse ALICE til en svedig natklub da han spillede udsolgt koncert i 2018. Nu kommer han endelig tilbage til DK med sit nye album “Established” (Planet Mu, 2021).  

Smokey

Med lige dele teknisk perfektionisme og fintfølende forståelse for stemning, fletter Simone Øster aka Smokey ubesværet tracks sammen på tværs af genrer og tidsperioder, og jonglerer dugfriske dubplates med ældgamle juveler. Et Smokey-set er kærlighed og respekt for elektronisk musik, men giver zero-fucks for traditionelle genreinddelinger og konventioner. Bootlegs, vokalsamples, bass, breaks, elektro, juke, jungle og dubstep væves sammen i et tæppe, der svøbes om publikum. 

Med snart 15 år i gamet har Smokeys unikke tilgang og energiske stræben efter at forfine håndværket bragt hende til nogle af klubkulturens højborge som Berghain, Boiler Room, Ibiza, og Roskilde Festival, sideløbende med, at kontakten til små mørke kældre med store lydsystemer altid holdes ved lige. Denne aften spiller Smokey et support set før RP Boo.

In English

Get ready to fill your body with banging staccato beats, sly sample flips and insistent bass when PR Boo – the father of Chacago footwork – returns to ALICE. Last time he played he turned the venue into an ecstatic nightclub, so we can’t wait to have him back. Smokey will open the night.

RP Boo a.k.a. Kavain Space is a man who is revered and respected amongst the dance music cognoscenti. He’s cited as the father of Footwork – the fast, repetitive, rhythmically syncopated music and dance style that’s a grandchild of the 1990s Chicago house and which has developed ever since, dance and beats side by side. RP Boo was a dancer himself before he started producing. His footwork has been brought to the wider world via releases from record label Planet Mu and others, alongside internet archaeology from fans, experts and enthusiasts. Produced using a Roland R-70 drum machine and an Akai S01 digital sampler, RP Boo’s tracks are filled with banging beats, hectic high hats, bass and mosaics of samples that make you wanna dance. When he played a sold out show at ALICE in 2018, the venue turned into an ecstatic nightclub – one of the greatest shows that year. We can’t wait to have him back this May with his new album "Established" (Planet Mu, 2021).

Smokey

Simone Øster aka Smokey is a Copenhagen-based DJ with a well-cultivated appetite for a proper party and an on-point aesthetic to match. Emerging from renowned techno squad Apeiron Crew, as a solo artist she’s more focused on off-kilter rhythms, bass, breaks, electro, jungle, ghetto tech and more. Having been heavily involved in the music and culture scene in Copenhagen for the past decade, Smokey has high standards when it comes to fun. She enters the room with an attitude of ‘get weird or go home’, and her sets reflect that; her humorous and upbeat attitude radiates from her, whether from behind the decks or on the dancefloor. But when she plays, don’t expect sunshine and rainbows. Her selection goes heavy and will undoubtedly smack you in the face with something deep and evil. Smokey will play a support set before RP Boo.
