Jeremy Ayro Ellis - EP Release Party - Ubiquity Records / Omoamusic
Mercury Lounge presents - A Jazztronic evening with resident Lance Baptiste Featuring Live & Direct from Detroit Jeremy AYRO Ellis - EP release party - Ubiquity Records / Omoamusic ...Friday July 29th Touching Mercury Lounge for a 3rd stellar performance One man wonder, Jeremy Ellis, masterfully weaves vocals and keys with funk and latin drum breaks to create a spellbinding live show. Jeremy Ayro Ellis is notorious for beat mechanic wizardry and he unleashes his talent here with a melange of hip-hop and jazz. An infectiously funky Fender Rhodes riff, glitchy beats, and buzzing synth lines meld to create a basement dwelling, head-bobbing vibe. Underground hip-hop veteran Phat Kat loans his quintessential Detroit swagger to the track and emcee Jah Connery delivers acerbic verbal artistry to create a superb blend of gritty elegance. Rounding out the release are three live Maschine edits, Double Homage Parts 1 & 2 and Revenge of the Baboon. Each showcases Jeremy's funk-fueled fingertip dexterity with chopped drum breaks and frantic horn stabs that will turn heads of the most snobbish beat connoisseurs worldwide.
$10 in advance - Starts at 10pm

Mercury Lounge presents: Tarun 'Tspoon' Nayar (Delhi 2 Dublin) album release party "22° of Beatitude" live set with special guests ...B.P.M. & VJ Electrabelle Thursday April 14th Tarun 'Tspoon' Nayar, the producer behind red-hot touring act Delhi 2 Dublin, celebrates the release of his first solo CD. 22º of Beatitude brings us to temples in Bhutan, to street corners in Tokyo and even to an intimate conversation between the artist and his grandmother. Breaking out of the dancefloor-driven format, Tarun’s aim was to record as many of the sounds as possible, live, without the use of sample libraries. Each of these songs tells a story, and each story is a chapter in the artist’s life. They are a decade-long evolution of sounds that blend culture, beats and bass. With influences ranging from Talvin Singh to Bassnectar, Tarun’s music aims to break boundaries and bring people together. Tarun will be performing the album live with Vancouver-based glitch hop crew B.P.M. and a suite of custom made visuals by VJ Electrabelle.
