Ballers Social Club is proud to present Scandinavian Skwee maestro Joxaren at The Ivy on March 28th.
Joxaren (David Giese) is a Swedish musician with a background in Punk, Dub, Hip Hop and Electro. He has performed over 500 live music shows in different constellations all over the world since 1988, and founded the influential electronic music collective Moder Jords Massiva alongside Skwee creator / ambassador Frans Carlqvist aka Pavan - who is the dynamic brains behind the exciting Flogsta Danshall imprint.
He will be showcasing his take on the bubbling Skwee genre, which has had huge coverage since its U.K debut at Ballers in January 08. His Disco - driven electronic music is filled with quirky key works, bumping drum loops and that sense of experimental freedom that defines and embodies the genre. Having played at the widely acclaimed Skwee showcase at Sonar Festival '08, toured the globe with punk outfits Big Fish and Pure Pain in the 90's, and recently taken to the road with Swedish electropop act Parken, Joxaren is an experienced performer of the highest quality!
His live show will be fashioned as all Skwee live shows are; completely hardware based, improvised and energetic. Using customised synthesizers,
old drum machines, taped up guitar pedals, modified toys and the occasional keytar, its contains the joyous ideology of the Punk - Rock he grew up listening too.
With an upcoming limted 7" on the highly collectable Flogsta Danshall label and his mind-blowing track 'Fel i Facit' released on the "Skweee Tooth" compilation through Ramp Recordings, 2009 is set to be another wonderful musical journey for this ever adventurous musician.
Joining Joxaren will be longtime friend and local hero Chikuma. Chikuma has put on some of the best Dubstep guests to come through Glasgow in the past 12 months at his monthly Hunt Them Crew bash at Nice & Sleazys. Having played last year at a Skwee showcase in Finland, we thought he would do the perfect job of complimenting our Scandanavian guest.
This Lucky Electronic Music Party is held in the newly located Ivy on Argyle st.
Door tax is £5.
