Tengu X Love International presents: Tornado Wallace, Ellie Stokes & Dar Molloy

Love International is celebrating 10 years with a string of club shows accross a number of cities. We are delighted to link up with team Love to curate a very special show at the space! We've invited Tornado Wallace to play Tengu for the first time alongside Team Love's own Ellie Stokes and Dublin Local Dar Molloy! First blowing a gale as a forerunner of the new wave of Melbourne dance producers, Tornado Wallace’s distinct and perceptive electronics now find him in a constant rotation of both hemispheres, spending most of the year based in Berlin. From formative house beginnings, the ESP Institute initiation Thinking Allowed proved Tornado Wallace as a force to be reckoned with – the driving groove and Will Powers stargazing quickly matched by an EP of eco-electro burners on Beats In Space. This two timing continued for another round with ESP issuing the elegant Circadia, while Beats In Space got their churning acid two-tracker Kangaroo Ground/Ferntree Gully. In tandem, krautback duo Coober Pedy University Band was formed with Otologic’s Tom Moore, who he’d previously stirred up trouble with as fractions of C Grade and Animals Dancing – two long standing parties of undeniable impact on their hometown. Their trance inducing debut on Soft Rocks’ imprint Kinfolk recruited vocals from a lesser known Chet Faker, followed by the bonkers 2014 anthem Kookabura. After some time in between releases due to an increasingly busy DJ schedule, 2016 saw the release of a Tornado Wallace 12” on Second Circle, sister label to cult Amsterdam archivists Music From Memory, as well as his debut album Lonely Planet, which came out on Gerd Janson’s Running Back. From Dar's first trip to a dance floor, a love-affair began with digging and club culture. The Spraoi Mór co-founder cut his teeth across some of Dublin's most beloved venues, ever learning and honing his craft. The last year has seen him perfecting the art of the warm-up, sharing a bill with Richard Sen, Tia Cousins, OG, and many more to come this year. With his Spraoi Mór co-founders, they have created a space for artists to express themselves without boundary. An ethos that rings through in Dar's sets. You can see the reflection of this throughout his radio shows on Dublin Digital Radio. From Italo to breaks, house to hip-hop, nothing is off the table for the Dublin-based selector. See you in the dance!
