Visions II w/ Jimmy Edgar, Actress and XI at Twist Gallery
https://www.facebook.com/events/405384372861132/
We’re very proud to announce the second edition of Visions, now located at the 500-person brick-and-beam loft occupied by Twist Gallery (1100 Queen St. W), with Berlin-based pop/techno legend Jimmy Edgar, acclaimed experimental UK producer Actress, and Toronto-to-Berlin transplant XI making his hometown debut.
Visions II marks the Toronto debut of Jimmy’s live MAJENTA show, an audio/visual LED whirlwind meant to induce synaesthesia while channelling the stripped-down vintage vibes of Motor City techno and electro from his latest EP Majenta.
Co-headlining is Actress, who touches down in Toronto for the first time (ever) following the release of his masterful third album R.I.P - a work which received universal acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, the New York Times, Pitchfork, Fact Magazine, Mix Mag, Spin, Resident Advisor, and many more.
XI, recently dubbed one of Toronto’s ‘new guard’ in a Resident Advisor feature, returns to Toronto after over a year spent overseas in Berlin. From his humble start in Scarborough, to his current reputation as one of the most influential underground artists from Toronto today, his return marks one of his most anticipated sets.
Sets by Actress and XI will be supported visually by mixMotion’s Brady Bothwell.
