Micro debrief
Stereo — 230819 — Elias Erium, 8Kays
Hi lovely Society !
Thanks to djs Elias Erium and @8kays aka @Iryna Shvydka for their solids performances of the weekend. I discovered 8Kays with his powerful, rhythmic techno, but had already heard Elias Erium once, only to rediscover him again with great satisfaction.
It’s very personal, but I’d like to congratulate him on his ability to give us a groove by immersing us in great hypotonic waves, structured in great musical phrases that are highly theatrical and super danceable. Not only does he have great energy as a performer, but he was also able to take over from 8Kays and close the show, and for all these reasons, I give him a big Kudo.
You’ll tell me I’m not objective, and that’s true, but I’d like to underline once again the marvellous, constant and surgical work of lighting designer Luc LHeureux, who takes the time and passion to offer us absolutely breathtaking visuals and ambiences, varied, evolving and ON TIME with the music.
I’m sure most of you haven’t even thought about it, it’s all so perfect.
The lights and colors are so in sync with the music, that you just follow along, and dive into the blacks, or be bathed in a thousand lights, or dance all in blue, or red… or in the lazer buble.
At your next ((())), you’ll observe that often, the lighting effects are so coordinated that you don’t even realize that the light explosions are happening at the same time as the base drops… or the blacks in the brakes, or a thousand variations… No, you’re just… IN the light.
Last Saturday, there was a segment (during 8Kays I think) where he particularly played with the white and red beams on the ball, with the lasers perfectly straight in the sky crossing the whole room… it was really like a dynamic composition of light in a very precise theme, dark, light, strobe, pitch black… With other dancers, we took the time to admire the show, just wow.
Bravo Luc, and thank you for applying yourself all the time with creativity and technique. You work hard and contribute to the success of our experiments, enhancing the djs’ music in my opinion, but in the shadows, so I’ll allow myself a little flash on your “invisible” role 😉
Each Stereo is a unique adventure, but it’s so good to be on the floor with you dancers, to catch up with old friends or meet new faces, in the beautiful energy and sharing of movement.
A good weekend of STEREO dancing ends as much as possible at Stereobar for Les beaux dimanche, and this week again it was great fun dancing to @Yokoo, who kept us busy all evening.
Thanks to the Staff for welcoming us.
see you soon between twho lights beams…
curious about the weekend’s artists?
