*DOLLY*

Same legendary venue, new series, new Freaquency… Freaquency is a new party where The Cobalt is tuned to a new wavelength. The 250 capacity room is reworked for future-facing underground club music, played by the city’s best DJs. Powerful low end, real dancefloor punch, detailed clarity, more sonic depth in the system. The environment transforms too: darker, stranger, more immersive. Light and shadow working together to bring you deeper into the music. Come tonight, and make a ripple; this doesn't happen without you!

🌸🌸 Tonight we go to 520 Alexander St (back alley) for the debut of Sansibar in Vancouver + Syd Woz and... the debut of a b2b Freaks Only, a duo with combined decades of experience digging for music that feeds their passion behind or in front of the booth. Born at a Pender Island house party, Freaks Only brings a vision of the past to a realm of the future with their specific and educated approach to the dance floor. They are known as solo deejays @2flowersdj and @lvt.sounds , regularly seen at the booth. Don't miss the fun! The FOMO will be real! Get on the dance floor. Tix in the usual spot. Doors open at 10pm, going late.

Syd Woz felt like the best opener we could invite for @sans1bar tomorrow night, often a headliner in her own right. She is a staple in our local scene now seen making appearances across the continent. Known for fluid, intuitive mixing, Syd Woz's sets move through early 90s house and techno alongside contemporary cuts, building patient, story-driven dancefloors. Join the dance floor perfection we all will create tomorrow night in a private warehouse with Funktion One sound. Tix in the usual spot!

🌼 This Thursday at a private warehouse in DTES with Funktion One sound 🔊 we welcome one of the very best heads @sans1bar to lay it down! By manipulating rhythms and frequencies Sansibar turns the intergalactic cosmic rays to a sonic voyage from above to below. Galactic funk streamlined in succession of outlined parameters. Symbiotic dreams of effervescent moments. Sansibar steers this ship through intuitive impulses that are cut deep in the flesh, with the extension of his thoughts and process audible via labels such as Kalahari Oyster Cult, Darknet, Émotsiya, Natural Sciences and his own imprint, Sin Sistema. Opening by the city's finest psychedelic groove master Syd Woz with the debut of Freaks Only. Not the show to miss! Get your spot on Resident Advisor 📍

🏵 Next week at a decorated warehouse we've never used before, we have planned at least 5 hours of brain melting fun on a phat Funktion One sound system. Coming all the way from Finland for his second appearance in Canada, deep cut producer Sansibar will share his unique vision of galactic funk streamlined in succession of outlined parameters, and symbiotic dreams of effervescent moments. Don't think about it, just let your body feel it. Producing for labels such as Kalahari Oyster Cult, Darknet, Émotsiya, Natural Sciences and his own imprint, Sin Sistema, we know the local freaks have Sansibar tracks in their collection. Come find out what's up! With Syd Woz opening and the debut of Freaks Only closing out, this night is guaranteed to bend the limits of your experience in Vancouver. Prepare to fly high on the dance floor. ⚠️Very limited half price entries are up on RA.

Tomorrow night we combine forces with @subdidi and @mada_p to bring a dream team to our favourite tall building, with SUBDIDI and Adam along with @karennjoki and @na_lu_le behind the decks The curation focuses on Black histories and futures through experimentation, legacy, catharsis, and a love for the local. The air will be thick with undulating basslines, twisting drums, and throttling breaks. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ ✦ about SUBDIDI ✦ Sébastien, also known as SUBDIDI, is a Haitian Canadian creative whose exploration of Blackness, through music, tattooing, and visual media reflects a deep connection to his identity. SUB creates a musical/visual dialogue that is heavily influenced by his early explorations of jazz, classical, gospel and hip hop. These influences can be heard in his choice selections of PBNJ club, dub, jungle and footwork. By creating soundscapes and imagery that encourage self-expression, SUBDIDI invites listeners to engage with his music in deeply personal ways, whether they're on the dance floor, in the bedroom, in the bathroom, on the bus, in a car or anywhere you feel the need to release. ✦ about Nalule ✦ Inspired by sonic renditions that hail from global south, Nalule aims to delicately interweave ancestral diasporic melodies within contemporary electronic bass genres that provide a sense of resonance and catharsis for listener’s. Her sets are highly syncopated, pulsating and emotive meant to transport listeners to a euphoric sub space that’s bass-laced and embellished with ethereal textures. Nalule oscillates between a myriad of club genres such as techno, tribal, juke and trance with a strong foundation of dub-heavy selections ranging from grime, UKG/Funky and jungle. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ Location revealed to ticket holders tomorrow evening (it's no longer at Xone but at our favourite tall building!) ~ grab tix on RA.co!

While their foundation is built on the driving pulse of Techno and Trance, their true sonic identity lies in the vibrant, rebellious spirit of the Global South. Blending diasporic soundscapes layered with techno melodies. Njoki aims to bring an uplifted fantasy of pride; deep rooted in childhood memories. Intertwining between genres such as Baile, Afro, Neoperreo, to Gqom and Amapinao blending a mixture of eclectic sounds and textures. ✦ about Adam ✦ ADAM is an artist based in “Vancouver”, BC, whose multi-disciplinary practice meshes sound, curation, performance and visual art.

Blending the contemporary with the ancestral, they create a new post-modernist sound using references from dubstep, trance, gqom, illbient, club music and beyond. ADAM’s sound is frenetic, entheogenic, sub-heavy, and hard-hitting. With a heavy focus on meticulous sound design and the mutations of genre, ADAM’s sets take you on a sonic exploration of social resistance, freedom in identity, and dancefloor awakenings. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ More coming soon with features on SUBDIDI and Nalule.
