There are nights when genres behave, and then there are nights when they start bleeding into each other. Jean d’Armes works somewhere in that spill: house and electro folding into baile funk, cumbia, disco, Middle Eastern rhythms– different languages finding the same pulse. A self-described « soldat sans patrie, combattant sur la piste de danse pour la paix dans le monde » a soldier without a homeland, fighting on the dance floor for world peace. Joining him is Lord Fascinator, the amorphous project of Australian musician Johnny Mackay, comes from a different kind of collision. Indie rock, psychedelia, the strange education of New York dance floors, his sets move between hazy guitars, electronic grooves, and left-field club music.
