:::::FOLLOWED BY AFTERPARTY @ FUZZ:::::

:::ONRA
Onra is a French beatmaker currently residing in Paris.

He released his first album with other french producer and friend Quetzal (Al Quetz) in 2006. A hip-hop tribute to soul music which was played several times by Gilles Peterson, Benji B, and covered on Okayplayer.com.

At the same time, he started collaborating with American keyboard player called Byron The Aquarius and released an album under the name of The Big Payback in 2007 on Japanese label Circulations. A project full of different influences such as futuristic hip-hop, spaced out and jazzy broken beats. They also appeared on highly praised compilations such as Beat Dimensions and New Worlds.

First introduced to Pittsburgh at the 2010 VIA Festival, Onra is back by popular demand.

:::GOLDEN AGES
Scheduled to play SXSW 2011.

A bold step back to the time when big acoustics mattered but still keep it very 2011 - falling somewhere blissfully between the experimental side of Animal Collective and the accessible side of Fuck Buttons. Golden Ages isn’t really a chillwave artist at all, but instead represents that missing link between the artists that influenced the birth of chillwave (especially Panda Bear/Animal Collective) and the honest-to-god chillwave artists like Neon Indian, MillionYoung, and Memory Tapes.

:::DISCUSS
Discuss/ Ekofield/ Young Frankenstein/ Olimpic86/ Ferrari Dark/ EkoFarm

Lush/Ambient. Tropical/Industrial. Hard beats/floating melody. A perfect contradiction in sound that leaves you practically weightless.

::: VISUALS - LAURIE TROK & DI AY
