The whole experience was a phantasmagoric river-rapid journey through contemporary online life. Something vague and strange was either confirmed or newly presented.

But, “WHERE IS THE NEW MUSIC THAT WILL GALVANISE THE RESISTANCE AGAINST THE OLD CORRUPT POWERS?”

Having survived the clogged drain that is Metro’s

Having survived the clogged drain that is Metro’s exit, a sense of empowerment, or at least comfort, arose from within. Every member of Stereolab exudes cool, but particularly Lætitia Sadier. The quirk of her hair, her gentle but brutal rebellion, and strict musical focus implicitly encourage an ethos of embracing the eccentric and the interesting to be cool. Or maybe she’s just French.

⭐️⭐️📻FOR FANS OF … 📻⭐️⭐️

We bet our shows could (and do!) pull international crowds, but did you know some of the best indie, postrock, hip-hop, and jazz acts from across the world are playing in Sydney right now?

Check out some of the show matches the SURG team put together, and keep your eyes peeled for a Part 2.

“From world premieres to Australia debuts, and performances coming exclusively for Vivid LIVE, this year’s program celebrates the subcultural best coming overground—from Western Sydney to Detroit, from Dakar to Copenhagen—on stages designed to touch your soul, all while Yann Nguema’s Opera Mundi pours its radiant brilliance over the sails.” - Ben Marshall, Head of Contemporary Music and Vivid LIVE Curator @ the Sydney Opera House

SURG genius & 1/2 of @d.a.s_tech Selectaaa goes b2b with Clarity<3 @cssdynwmn to close off SURG-TECHNICA tonight.

Alex is almost a cat with 9 lives the way he has died for SURG year after year i.e. when the studio flooded. When he ran our SURG DJ classes. When he spent every Friday running the DJ Residency. When we got hacked. When we couldn’t connect to the Internet.
