We are truly excited to welcome the San Francisco debut of András, a budding producer/DJ emerging from the vibrant Melbourne Australia scene. His blend of melodic soft synths and bumping lo-fi house style is a unique breath of fresh air in contemporary dance music. As fans of his work for several years now we cannot wait to share the sounds of this talented guy with you.
Supporting vibes will be from San Francisco boss DJ and vinyl connoisseur Mike Bee along with Lips & Rhythm label heads Birds Of Rhythm. Bop on down to F8 and meet us out on the dance floor for a highly anticipated night of smooth moves and grooves!

András
András is the stage name of Andrew Wilson (1988), an
Australian musician whos earned acclaim for his
unpredictable take on electronica. His soft focused
abstractions are an elegant counter-argument to the
angular clichés of contemporary studio wank, cutting a
broad path through 90s underground house,
soundtrack and ambient music. His work is loosely
based around drum machine rhythms and sloppy soft
synthesis; smoothing over nature-machine and
industrial-relax oppositions and enjoying all the
confusion.
The soundtrack work Overworld marked a significant
departure from his previous work, introducing a new
alias Art Wilson. The album playfully explores the
dance-performance themes of nature and astrology
while sticking with familiar low-budget synth and drum
machine instrumentation. András also maintains an
ongoing collaboration with vocalist Oscar Key Sung,
with the pair delving ever deeper into late night coffee
and (b)romance.
In addition to his production work, Andrew hosts
Strange Holiday Radio on Melbournes 3RRR 102.7fm
where he champions a diverse mix of local and
Australian music. In addition to radio-podcasts and
mixes, there are a couple compilations and re-issue
projects in development.
