Wild Combination, Wondercore Island, A Love Supreme, Ma Presents and Flo Records are thrilled to welcome Theo Parrish and Swooping (featuring members of Hiatus Kaiyote) for a unique gig.
Theo Parrish, renowned international DJ, is known for his vast musical knowledge and desire to get people dancing.
Swooping—a trio including Paul Bender, Perrin Moss, and Simon Mavin from the Grammy-nominated Hiatus Kaiyote—brings an improvisational energy that pushes musical boundaries. Revered by icons like Prince, Pharrell, and Questlove, and heavily sampled by artists such as Kendrick Lamar and Beyoncé, Hiatus Kaiyote’s impact on music has been immense. With Swooping, they delve into raw, spontaneous expression, taking their artistry in new directions.
For an added treat, Theo Parrish and Swooping will host a free, open conversation at Flo Records from 2pm before the show. This intimate discussion offers fans a chance to hear about their musical journeys, inspirations, and creative philosophies.
Flo Records began its journey four years ago with a simple online ad seeking vinyl collections. From those modest beginnings, it quickly became a favourite at the Byron and Bangalow markets before finding a permanent home in the vibrant Lumber Yard precinct of Bangalow. Flo Records isn’t just a shop; it’s a hub for music lovers and DJs, all united by a love for diverse sounds and the timeless, tangible beauty of vinyl records.
Offering a carefully curated selection across genres – jazz to jungle, rockabilly to reggae, dancehall to disco – Flo Records has something for every taste and rhythm. Each record is chosen to resonate with collectors, enthusiasts, and DJs who cherish the artistry and history embedded in vinyl. With shelves stocked to reflect the rich tapestry of musical eras, the shop invites visitors to explore, connect, and expand their musical worlds.
Flo’s vision has always been more than retail; it’s about fostering a community where people can experience music together. Hosting events has been central to this goal, and now, that dream is set to soar with this special performance.
Friday, November 15. Artists in conversation at Flo Records Bangalow, from 2pm. A free event.
Live show 5pm to 11pm at Playground, Byron Bay – tickets from eventbrite.com.au.
