The Gulf’s first car park concept, in true Plus Minus style.
On April 29th, Plus Minus will be taking everything you know about an artistic lifestyle event and throwing away the rulebook. Having embraced the raw and powerful nature of an electronic music performance and the freedom of artistic expression, we have harnessed this energy and chosen to shine the spotlight on the worlds most in demand and forward thinking live electronic artists. To compliment this ethos, Plus Minus Arena will be temporarily transforming a usually dormant and empty space and in the process creating a 360-degree, multi sensory adventure in to A New Dimension.
Born from our collective love of innovation, original conceptual expression and most of all, creating a community environment from which to share these new and exciting experiences, we present to you Plus Minus Arena #anewdimension
We are not going to give too much away at this point, but rest assured we will be providing a fully immersive audio visual journey.
Location: P7 Media One Hotel (Car Park)
Date: Friday 29th April 2016
Artists:
KiNK(live)
Strahil Velchev loves it, doesn't he? Just look at him go. He can barely suppress a grin as he plays his basslines and furiously taps rhythms. When he drops the kick drum, his upper body seems to thrust involuntarily. He has the air of someone who's been practicing in his bedroom for years, and is itching to show you what he's got. Even when he's not out on the road performing, he's back at home performing: Velchev regularly tapes himself improvising on different setups and uploads the footage to YouTube. And check the image on his RA artist page—it's as if he can't get close enough to his machines. Velchev is very clearly a man who's infatuated with his craft.
Why has he hit #1 in 2015? Well, it feels like word has finally reached everyone. Although he's appeared on this list four times, with three consecutive top-five finishes, Velchev just isn't what you'd call a stage-managed artist. He hops from label to label, and he's never been associated with a fashionable scene or sound. In the excellent "Cloud Generator" he had a hit track this year, but then that's the case most years for Velchev. The explanation is therefore quite simple: he's extremely talented, and in 2015 more people than ever took notice.
Audiofly(extended set)
Audiofly are the duo of Luca Saporito and Anthony Middleton. They met and started working together in the spring of 2002 and immediately started a prolific partnership based on their shared music styles and experiences on the DJ circuit.
Their combined talents have created a powerful, experimental and original style of music (a deadly, dirty, jackin, tech meets electronic house) which is very current on the underground club scene.
Henry Saiz(live band)
the creator of a style that is a combination of his love for all things electronic with a deep passion for art. His music, as well as his work as a sound designer for film and TV has always been marked as forward thinking in approach and groundbreaking upon delivery. Henry's sound refuses to fall into a singular category, he takes in influence on many different levels and incorporates this into his live and DJ sets by forging a perfect balance of Electronica, Disco, House and Techno.
Henry's first productions were released through the highly regarded Global Underground and Paradigm Musik imprints. These releases were instantly noticed by house giant John Digweed, which led to creating one of the biggest tracks of 2009, which was also named as Pete Tong’s Essential New Tune. Released on Bedrock, Henry's remix of Guy J’s “Lamur” was regarded by critics and DJ’s alike as “the track of the year”. Following the success of this remix, yet another giant label; Renaissance commissioned the release of “Artificial Paradises EP” and “Madre Noche EP” in 2009 and “The Rider EP” in 2010.
Not a man to be content with such success, Henry whilst producing some of the biggest tracks around has also simultaneously been developing his live show. Using a combination of Native software and hardware, an Akai APC-40, Access Virus TI and other equipment, Henry has complete control over his meticulously created and fully original edits, loops and tracks. The integration of these techniques into his highly acclaimed podcast “The Labyrinth” and both live and DJ environments has allowed Henry to show his true potential in building sets that strike a chord with audiences across the world. His rising reputation earned Henry the honour of being asked to mix Balance Music’s 019 compilation. Following on from the likes of Timo Maas, Joris Voorn, Will Saul and Agoria, Henrys addition to this world-renowned mix series has more than lived up to expectations and has set a new benchmark in depth and quality.
Whilst being a producer, DJ and live performer is paramount to Henry, another element close to his heart is finding and developing new talent. Henry started his own label, Natura Sonoris (Nature Of Sound) in 2008 and it has become a platform for not only his own productions but also for artists such as Damabiah, Cora Novoa, Sistema and Ryan Davis to name but a few. The focus of the label is to connect electronic music with art and life. This is reflected in all aspects of each release from the music itself down to the artwork, a formula that has been received extremely well and now has a big following worldwide. September 2012 sees the release of his new single - Henry Saiz ‘Our Discovery’, which has been garnering a huge following this summer on the white isle, with supporters including Lee Foss, Sasha, Audiofly, Blond:ISH and many others.
Henry has now taken his DJ and Live shows around the globe. He has also been a part of festivals such as Sónar and Creamfields amongst many others and continues to be one of the most popular up-and-coming Spanish artists of his generation, having recently won the categories of ‘Best Live Act, Best Label and Best Compilation’ in the prestigious 2012 DJ Mag Spain awards, and he also won the ‘Best of 2011’ award in DEEJAY Magazine. His constant growth has enabled him to spread his music to new audiences and is, without doubt, one of the bright new talents on the global electronic music scene.
