JIMMY EDGAR DJ Set / Detroit US
myspace.com/colorstrip
Lover. Fighter. Prophet. Freak magnet. Time-traveler. Musician, photographer and designer JIMMY EDGAR is a wayward star-child streaking across the cosmic dance-floor. Endowed with a supernatural feel for futuristic funk, the Detroit native has been bleeping and grinding about the Milky Way since he was a teenage humanoid. While his peers were worrying about their grades and popularity, Edgar was spinning alongside his hometown’s DJ heroes and programming intricate beats that were unquestionably interplanetary communication disguised as dance music.
On his way from the Fusion Festival in Berlin to Fabric in London, Jimmy Edgar will stop by at MOLOCH! in Oslo, for the first time in Norway. Signed at legendary WARP at the age of 18 and as an immensely productive artist, we are proud of getting Edgar to visit. Prepare for a long night of art and music. MOLOCH will shut down in a few months, as we must make room for new horrid apartments. So join us for the fun, as long as it lasts! The program will be updated until the event starts, with more artists and musicians chipping in…
