London-based producer Palmistry (aka Benjy Keating) is releasing album PAGAN through Mixpak Records on June 17.

Launching the full-length with a video for ‘Lifted‘ directed by Keating himself and released in early June, the album-to-come follows a slicker take on a sound that has evolved from earlier releases of his gentle melancholy pop like the Free Indeed mix, published online with DIS Magazine in 2014, and the self-released Ascensión EP to follow last year.

The ‘Lifted’ video follows an earlier one for first single ‘Club Aso‘, directed by Keating and Tom Walker and released in April.

Palmistry was a regular at London’s Endless parties and JACK댄스 nights, and has also produced and collaborated with other South London artists like Triad God and Blaze Kidd.

See the Mixpak website for album details.**

SONIDO CLASSICS festival 2016, Feb 13

10 February 2016

SONIDO CLASSICS, a sound systems festival, presented by Plusdesign gallery, with supervision by audiovisual group Invernomuto, is running across Milan on February 13.

In line with Invernomuto’s blend of urban culture with popular rituals and symbols from folklore, the festival is a tribute to the street cultures of global suburbs. It will also be the final act of a project by Plusdesign, who will present a collection of Colombian traditional sound systems (Picòs).

A statement from the organisers explains: “Picò culture runs parallel to other sound system traditions in the world: the Jamaican one above all. But its main difference is in its appearance: each Picò, as well as being meticulously designed in its shape and choice of materials, is also decorated by local painters, with phosphorescent colours and glitter. Each Picò expresses the visual identity of its DJ and owner through the artwork”.

SONIDO CLASSICS will exhibit 15 Picòs built by artisans in Colombia, alongside five that have been handed over to the creative authority of European designers: Nathalie Du Pasquier, Delta, Lucas Munoz, Dirk Vander Kooi and Kram/Weisshaar.

Also playing at the festival are Dj Rupture, Palmistry, Gqom Oh! with Nan Kolé, Lisbon’s Dj Firmeza and Dj Noronha, and Milan’s Primitive Art, STILL, and Palm Wine.

See the SONIDO CLASSICS trailer (below) for further details.**
