On Saturday, January 21st 2012, Sequential Circus returns for the tenth iteration. Bring your dancing shoes for Vancouver’s premiere live electronic performance showcase!
Sequential Circus is an ongoing music event series featuring an ever-changing lineup of live performance (live-pa) electronic music acts, both local and imported talent, with a focus on cutting edge sound and visual technologies.
Do not confuse this with a DJ event – the dancefloor will be jumping, but all the music at Sequential Circus is composed and performed live by the original artists; it’s more of an electronic music concert series than a clubnight.
VENUE: Open Studios, #200 – 252 East 1st Avenue
19+ w/ID ONLY – there’s a bar
TICKETS: $20, available at the door only, arrive early to avoid disappointment
Doors at 10:00pm, first performance begins at 10:30pm sharp!
MUSICAL PERFORMANCE LINEUP:
0CO
With over two decades of performance experience on a variety of instrumentation, Salvatore Sferrazza’s latest compulsion for synths with beats sees him producing under the cryptic pseudonym 0CO. Melding influences that chronicle the history of electronic music, 0CO’s oeuvre maintains orbit around a barycenter of Techno, Electro Bass, Acid, Italo-disco, Berlin School and Freestyle.
While the sounds exhibit a severe fixation on synthetic rhythms, sinister melodies find ample opportunity for infiltration. Dark, double-helix synth passages betray an intellect seldom portrayed in much of the 21st century’s dancefloor fodder.
Further distinctions are found in 0CO’s applied matériel. Live electronics are manufactured exclusively with hardware kit: DCO polys, VCO monos, PCM ROMplers and a small modular are deployed for violent sonic disintegration campaigns upon nocturnal subterraneans.
Chaos awaits.
STYLE: Techno / Acid / Electro Bass

Jesse Bru
Jesse is an MC, DJ, producer and artist who draws inspiration from all things deep and soulful. Borrowing much of his approach to music-making from that of early-90′s sample-based hiphop (A Tribe Called Quest, O.C., Organized Konfusion, DJ Krush), you can expect a plethora of rhodes, vocals and guitars, with plenty of disco and soul sprinkled on top for good measure. Jesse will be releasing his debut album ‘MidCity’ on UK-based label ‘Audio Parallax’ early in the new year and is certainly someone to keep an eye on.
STYLE: Deep House

They are based in Vancouver, Canada and have been working together since 2007, creating music, performing live audiovisual sets and producing music videos. Their music ranges from hard, dark techno to jazz-influenced minimal and experimental electronic. Their video work exemplifies their interest in ideas that hover on the edge of normalcy, darkness and surreality.

STYLE: Techno, Minimal, Experimental

Max Ulis
A DJ going on 13 years, Max Ulis was first inspired by the sounds of house, trip hop, and early drum and bass. With the formation of Vancouver’s Lighta! Sound and the success of New Form’s Dubforms parties headed by Malcolm Levy and Michael Red, Max gained ground as one of North America’s first dubstep DJs. Over the past two years Max has shifted his focus away from dubstep, coming full circle with his music to reintroduce elements of his first loves, house and techno.
Max’s music has been played by notable performers such as Addison Groove, XI, Joe Nice, Starkey, Breakage and Stereotyp and he has shared the stage
with a who’s who of contemporary dance music. Artists such as DJ Krush, Skream, Benga, Hatcha, The Bug, Breakage, XI, DJG, DJ Vadim, The Mad
Professor, Salva, Eprom, Remarc, Calibre, Falty DL, Machinedrum, Joker, Caspa, Julio Bashmore, and Roska to name a few.
To quote Resident Advisor’s Andrew Ryce, “Max Ulis’ increasingly diverse output could hardly be described with any one term, but it’s all united by an extremely spare and dry aesthetic. Stripped back, pitch black, and stark, he strikes an enviable balance meshing the dark with the dance floor.”
STYLE: Minimal

STYLE: Bass-heavy, jazzy glitch hop with live sax, looping and wind synth overdubs
