LionsGuard presents IMBUE
Event description
After a long hibernation LionsGuard is back with our biggest and most exciting production yet. Since we first started throwing parties in that glorious basement back in 2016 LionsGuard has always been about creating a safe container where all are welcomed as they are to connect through the frequencies of underground music.
On April 7th we continue that tradition along with impeccable sound, immersive art and lighting, and a very exciting headliner. For this edition we'll be bringing out the full Danley rig and taking over the artist collective warehouse at Jaja PDX. Taking the reigns for the night will be IMBUE making their West coast debut. After many years of impeccable productions they have recently started performing a live DJ / hybrid set that we can't wait to experience with you.
Imbue’s live performance features a hybrid of live electric guitar and synthesizers superimposed over a continuous and multifaceted DJ set. They have headlined shows in Miami, Atlanta, and the Dominican Republic and opened for the likes of Raresh, Prâslea, Traumer, Gene on Earth, Shonky, SIT and more, both in Miami and in Berlin’s Club der Visionaere.
Based in Miami, Florida, Imbue consists of Maximiliano Cortes, Ignacio Vallejo and Eduardo J. Alvarez. Since forming in 2016, the trio has crafted a unique interpretation of minimal electronic music, blending influences ranging from house, psychedelic rock and breaks.
Imbue launched their self-titled label in 2017 with their vinyl-only debut “Imbue” [IMB001]. Since then they've had several chart-topping releases on labels including Retrospect [RETRO003], Telum [TELUM006], and SISU [SISU01 & SISU02], capping 2021 off with perhaps their most ambitious, multi-genre record to date: “Bloom” [IMB006]. 2022-2023 marked both an increase in bookings and a shift in production, as the trio opted for a faster, modern house sound.
LionsGuard residents Vamarcha and 8maos will get us warmed up for the evening and we're in for a treat with local hero Leeonn closing out the night.
