BBE Pres. Booka Shade / Lapalux / Tensnake Tours

Can’t afford to go to that festival, or just straight up don’t have the time? Wish you could see some of the major headliners doing side shows in your home town? Well, well, well – we have some good news for you. BBE, the touring agency behind huge shows this year like RL Grime, Mr. Carmack, and later this year Baauer and Skepta – just to name a few – have announced tours for Booka Shade, Lapalux and Tensnake. Huge.

Booka Shade, now also the owners of their own label, have been making tracks all across electronic music for over 20 years. In 2010 they were named by Resident Advisor as one of the 5 best live acts in the whole world, with their crazy innovative live setups. They cross genres and smash floors all across the world, they’re pioneers of the game.

Lapalux, signed to Flylo’s Brainfeeder, this year brought out Lustmore, aka the most underrated album of the whole year. It’s all about hypnogogia, a conscious state between being awake and asleep, and the swirling rhythms and spacey textures capture that feeling perfectly. He’s worked alongside artists like Bonobo, Andreya Triana and Lianna La Havas, so it’s no doubt Flylo signed him. He’s pushing boundaries with his work, and you’d be a fool to miss him play.

No stranger to Australian shores, having played The Opera House as part of Vivid Live last year, as well as Falls and Field Day, German producer Tensnake is a crowd favourite. He’s one of the biggest names in house music for a reason, with his sets just being so groovy and so good to dance to. He’s got countless hits, and you definitely shouldn’t need anymore convincing – make sure you catch him.
