Warp Records' White Bone

Being born in Detroit for a musician is both a chance and a responsibility: after all, the city's reputation for giving the world the best examples of techno and soul is both intriguing and daunting. Jimmy Edgar, a 22-year-old American lad hailing from the city of Underground Resistance and Motown, fully embraced the weight of his heritage. He started producing sounds at the age of 10, experimented with home equipment, passionately drummed in experimental groups, played alongside Derrick May and Juan Atkins at 15, and eventually grew into the leading artist of the iconic Warp label. Jimmy's music is crackling and creaking experimental electronica, featuring creativity, complex rhythmic structures, youthful excitement, and admiration. A match for his music is his video art – mesmerizing images of breathtaking beauty. Jimmy is not a legend, not a dinosaur, not even worthy of the term 'deserved,' but therein lies his value: his music lacks academic dryness and self-satisfaction, instead, it reflects self-discovery and human emotion. A rare opportunity to see an artist on the rise in Moscow: with great likelihood, you will be hearing about him everywhere soon; Warp knows what it's doing. A pioneer-hero, no doubt. December 17, Sunday, starting at 21:00, Ikra Club presents a performance by Jimmy Edgar (WARP, USA), advance tickets - 500 rubles.
