Moor Music presents: IN CLOUDS

High above the celestial horizon, a melodic storm is brewing. It's as saintly as it is sinful, as sensorial as it is paranormal. It's miraculous, even.

One year after the COVID cancellation of the original IN CLOUDS, Moor Music and Leaps & Bounds are back with a sacrilegious sonic sermon of biblical proportions — IN CLOUDS

The band lineup will feature a carefully curated tasting of some of Melbourne's most exciting live acts. Headling the event are jazz punks Claps, hot off the back of their recent performance and after-party hosting duties at Strawberry Fields 2022.

Alongside Claps, IN CLOUDS will feature Kalacoma, Proto Moro, Firetail, Elaura, Ebiphe and a special Performance from Melbourne's favourite house party band Limp Biz alongside many more amazing live acts performing within the realms of punk jazz, neo-soul, jazz fusion, Progressive rock, live electronic and Modern dance floor jazz worlds.

We welcome Pookie, Ajak Kwai, Nay Nay, Kgomotso, Disco Slut, Amber Ferraro and Crozier on the DJ front. Set to perform an eclectic mix of music, ranging from techno, jacking house, disco, afro-beat, hip Hop dance hall and jazzy house, to name a few.

See you soon.

JITWAM BIO (JUST ADDED)

LISTEN HERE : https://spoti.fi/3y5XTC0

Festival / live show bios:
Jitwam is a Sydney-based artist whose work, including two acclaimed LPs - ‘िज़तम सहँ’ and ‘Honeycomb - have been critically-acclaimed. He has featured on Moodymann’s DJ Kicks compilation, played at festivals across the world and become a darling of the underground in the past few years. Having lived in five countries across four continents, Jitwam is influenced by the culture around him, incorporating sounds from around the world while experimenting with melodies and songwriting.

Born in Guwahati, Assam in India, Jitwam grew up in Sydney, Australia. He was introduced to electronic music whilst living in London, where his songwriting turned, allowing him to use the rock influences he grew up with and melding them into tightly melodic, luxuriously layered production. Threads of universality and one consciousness thread themselves neatly throughout his work. He is also the co-founder of the seminal label The Jazz Diaries and helped establish arts collective and label, Chalo.

CLAPS https://www.instagram.com/clap...

Claps are a firebrand of cosmic jazz energy, agitators of tradition and hotheaded jazz punks; an instrumental quintet that blends house, broken beat and drum and bass rhythms with unhinged jazz improvisation to create a dark, kaleidoscopic dance music experience.

With members from The Rookies, Honey and Z.F.E.X. and an uncompromising search for a distinct and immersive sound, Claps pushes listeners and dancers out of their comfort zone and into heightened states of bodily perception.

Firetail's music spans from 70’s jazz-fusion, South Indian Carnatic music and Melbourne's very own brand of jazz-tronica. Formed in 2018 as a collaborative recording project, Firetail has developed an ambient approach to song-writing that blends soul-infused rhythms with evocative melodies and driving percussion.

ELAURA https://www.instagram.com/itsm...

ELAURA's voice- spoken or sung, English or Spanish, surfs through the world's chatter and gently invites you to take a breath & delight in life. With a hint of her mother tongue, a dash of RnB-infused Neo-soul & a sprinkle of sassy yet comforting real-ness, Elaura's live shows are a unique concoction.
