Tone List returns with another of our intermittent experimental club nights. Come down to the Bird for off-kilter DJ sets pushing and pulling between the rapidfire rhythms of jungle & footwork and the introspective textures of downtempo, ambient & electroacoustic music. Or, in less coded words: a show of unpredictable, sonically immaculate and really fun music to get moved by.

Current Bias has been working at a textured & wild approach to dance music since relocating from Boorloo to Te-Whanganui-a-Tara some years ago. With a digital, ambient & electroacoustic sound palette, their music is adventurous, playful and joyously weird, driven by rhythms that morph and evolve.

Ellay W heads up Phys Ed, an esteemed Tāmaki Makaurau-based platform for unorthodox club music. He'll be dovetailing with Current Bias to finish the night. Ellay W's sets trend towards synthetic sound design and high tempo twitching rhythms.

Boorloo's own Montana works on the contemplative mix series Personal Space and has been increasingly venturing into her own live performances of meditative music informed by the the soft-focus sound worlds of dream pop, downtempo & shoegaze. She'll open the night with a DJ set.

Accessibility

Most of The Bird is wheelchair accessible via ramp, including an accessible bathroom in the back courtyard. The raised part of the courtyard is not wheelchair accessible, but the show will take place in the main indoor space, so this won't affect your ability to participate in the event.

The show will be loud and musically high-stim and fast paced. The Bird has free earplugs available at the bar.

The show is indoors and whilst the front and back doors are left open during the show, its otherwise not a well-ventilated space. It may be crowded.

Lighting in the space is very dim. No strobes or fast flashing lights (>5Hz) will be used.
