Get into the rhythm for LUGO Light on March 16! This year, Remai Modern’s annual art party will explore light as both subject and material for artmaking through light installations, live visuals and moving image works, and a vibrant program of contemporary art, music, sound, dance and performance. DJ Fu will be in the Connect Gallery, spinning tracks throughout the evening from the playlist below. Premium ticketholders get the first listen, with the gallery open to all at 10 PM for good tunes and live drawing.
Tickets to LUGO Light are sold out, but you can still enjoy this playlist from the comfort of home. DJ Fu recommends listening without shuffle for the best experience, and told us about the influences found in this playlist:
“Journey from the soulful rhythms of South African Amapiano to the roots of Chicago house, with touches of French and British dance tracks. Amapiano: a Nguni word loosely translated to “the pianos”, is a subgenre of house characterized by synths and wide percussive basslines. This playlist is dedicated to Malick Issa.”
