Get down to Ferdydurke on Saturday, December 7th for a showcase of some of Melbourne’s finest talent featuring live sets from Silent Jay (The Operatives) & MFP (Japan) as well as a DJ set from Kirkis (Eglo Records), supported by Mike Gurrieri.
Doors 7pm-1am
Free Entry.
SILENT JAY (Live):
At only twenty-two years old Alejandro Jay Abapo’s list of accomplishments is already staggering. As a singer and performer alongside internationally acclaimed future-soul group HIATUS KAIYOTE, he plays the saxophone in experimental-jazz quintet DEMIAN, and this year was part of the ensemble of artists let by world-renown arranger and composer MIGUEL ATWOOD-FERGUSON in Melbourne’s International Jazz Festival.
As a seemingly effortless and imaginative producer, Alejandro’s solo project is SILENTJAY. Having studied Jazz Improvisation at the Victorian College of Arts, he turned his ear for music to production after his uncle, a DJ, gave him his record collection. Alejandro brought his own sampler and combined his talents as a multi-instrumentalist alongside vibrant beats, his own and guest vocals and electronic loops. The result is so organic that each carefully crafted track seems to breathe on it’s own, a natural brand of shoegaze, soul and hip-hop.

MFP (Live):
Since moving to Melbourne from his native Japan, MFP has made a name for himself in a strong beats scene. His music has been featured on compilations from the likes of Brownswood Recordings, Wondercore Island & Condensed Milk and his live set has seen him perform for the likes of Red Bull Music Academy & Melbourne International Jazz Festival. One to watch.

KIRKIS (DJ Set):
Hyperbolic producer and bassist Kirkis usually performs live as a 4 piece ensemble, exploring the overlapping realms of future beats, punk and future jazz. After releasing his debut album, “Purplefruit For Xray Vision” as a free download in 2012, it didn’t take long for word to spread. His forthcoming LP “Liverbleach” is set for an early 2014 release on UK label Eglo Records, home to the likes of Floating Points, Fatima & Dirg Gerner. Kirkis is also an accomplished DJ & this is how he will be performing at Ferdydurke.

MIKE GURRIERI (DJ Set):
Whether he’s performing a DJ set, presenting his weekly radio show or releasing music on his Equinox Recordings label, the focus is always on quality music when it comes to Mike Gurrieri.
Mike presents his weekly radio show, Sunny Side Up, on Melbourne community station Kiss FM, on Thursday mornings at 9am. A diverse mix of soul, jazz, hip hop & electronica with regular interviews from musicians from around the world make up the template of the show, which is then presented online as a weekly podcast.
Mike’s penchant for vinyl & the business-side of music is plain to see through the output of his record label, Equinox Recordings, which has released music from some of the most exciting Australian music in recent times such as The Raah Project, Hiatus Kaiyote, Kirkis & Demian.
