A two-night '70s slumber party with all our funky friends, late summer sunshine, a pool and a Bash at your doorstep!? We did a damn thing and rented out the whole hotel, and with less than 50 rooms at this boutique bungalow, many of which are already spoken for, only a limited supply remains. Don't sleep on this--sleep with the fam!

Classixx

Like a balmy breeze from a world of endless summer, Classixx are back with Faraway Reach, a buoyant follow-up to their 2013 debut -- something to cruise to with the top down, from festival fields to the beach, from the dance floor to the shotgun seat. Faraway Reach casts Classixx's young-but-nostalgic melodies and sublime chords in a more mature, restrained light, albeit no less lively and bright. Establishing themselves as producers of note on their debut LP (Pitchfork called them "great songwriters, too"), Faraway Reach delivers powerfully smooth and soulful jewels that are still decidedly their own -- the Classixx signature is one that can't be traced. Their love of plaintive voices and disco-inspired grooves is as evident as ever, but this time around everything is a bit bolder, the cast is bigger, the melodies distilled into a higher potency -- it's all just as good, but better. The album traverses locales, vocalists and inspirations. It's a fitting movement for the duo, from Venice beach to the mountains of South Africa and everywhere in between -- a Faraway Reach.

No shortage of Motormouth concerts coming your way this Fall. Melbourne's beloved Harvey Sutherland makes his way Stateside on October 11th to the Phoenix Hotel for Mustache Bash. This date happens just in time for the release of his new album, Debt, out on 10/10 via his own Clarity Recordings imprint.
In the past few years, Harvey's proven himself to be a reliable producer and DJ. He's produced for Genesis Owusu, remixed tracks by Disclosure and Khruangbin, and toured with Hot Chip and Carly Rae Jepsen. As these credentials show, he's a delight for those who love a dancefloor. Plus, the funky house of Debt is imbued with reflections on the seemingly transactional relationship of music today, meaning these tracks'll get the gears of your brain moving just as easily as your feet. Let me know if you'd like to come out to the show or speak with Harvey.
