The Avalanches have remained one of the most unique and thought-provoking electronic music acts since their sensational debut album ‘Since I Left You’ dropped at the beginning of the new millennium.

As they prepare to release ‘No Bad Memories’, an LP built around sounds from the adverts and technology that have become embedded in our lives, the Australian trio sit down with DJ Mag to discuss the new release, their sampledelic style, and what it means to be artists in a culture shaped by consumerism.

Takashi from teamLab will introduce the philosophy and vision behind teamLab’s creativity, and the collective’s latest and upcoming projects, with interactive elements incorporated throughout the workshop.

teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective. Their collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world. Through art, we aim to explore the relationship between the self and the world, and new forms of perception.

In order to understand the world around them, people separate it into independent entities with perceived boundaries between them. teamLab seeks to transcend these boundaries in our perceptions of the world, of the relationship between the self and the world, and of the continuity of time.

Queer nightlife has always been more than a night out. It’s where communities form, scenes emerge and new ways of being find space to exist. But with venues disappearing and the economics of nightlife becoming harder to sustain, who gets to build what comes next?

Together they ask what the next generation of queer spaces could look like, who they’re being built for, and what it will take to keep them genuinely independent, inclusive and alive.
