Fever Dream
About Fever Dream
How does it feel to be awake in a dream?
Fever Dream is a live music and conceptual art party that offers a glimpse into the fringes of imagination. Over the course of 6 hours, you will venture from an ethereal and dreamy world into something surreal, weird, and (possibly) wonderful. Our lineup is accompanied by live projection art and production by MotherCrux @mothercrux and Scarchivalry @scarchivalry.
The Concept
No AI was used in the creation of any text or graphics for Fever Dream.
Act 1: The Known
It feels like home.
Garaújo (DJ) opens our dreamscape with an atmospheric and cosy set that feels like a warm blanket on a cold night, built upon by Prudns (live) through ethereal and electronic pop, capturing an intimate recollection of love and longing. Act 1 marks a point of comfort, a dream you could stay in forever.
Act 2: The Departure
I just can’t put my finger on it.
House of Strangers (live) opens act 2 with alternate/electronica sounds, taking us somewhere that feels both familiar and unknown; a feeling that is carried with the genre-bending alt-pop musings of Miya Zawa (live). Act 2 remains relatable with the stirrings of something stranger — something restless — at play.
Act 3: The Fever
This is going to stay with me for a long time.
Cyberia (DJs b2b) marks our point of no return. Through a cocktail of hyperpop and “internet music”, the duo devolve nostalgic bangers into chaos; leaving a dancefloor torn between laughing, crying, and lip-syncing. Act 3 is the unraveling of the dream and the abandonment of reason. It is the fever.
