24:HRS presents Gavin Russom (The Crystal Ark/DFA)

Just one day left before our next 24:HRS party here in Stockholm. With us this we've got Gavin Russom, musician and artist signed to DFA Records. Over the years, Russom has released music under various guises, including Black Leotard Front, Black Meteoric Star and The Crystal Ark, as well as collaborative work with Delia Gonzalez.

Central to Russom's aesthetic is the search for unity between man, machine, and art, which has translated into Russom designing and building custom analog synthesizers, both for his own music and for others'. Known as "The Wizard" for his technical prowess (as well as for his signature flowing red beard), Russom has built instruments for the likes of James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), Tim Goldsworthy (UNKLE, The Loving Hand) and Bjorn Copeland (Black Dice).

In 1998 his collaboration with Delia Gonzalez began, a project that would lead to a number of releases on DFA. Russom moved to Berlin in 2004 where, inspired by that city's flourishing electronic music scene as well as Germany's history of psychedelic music, he produced three singles under the name Black Meteoric Star, which would eventually be collected and released as a self-titled LP in 2009.

As of 2010, Russom has relocated to New York where he is producing music as The Crystal Ark. He has also toured playing synths and percussion with LCD Soundsystem.

The venue is Marie Laveau and the party starts at 22.00. Don't be late, the place will be packed early. 24:HRS Soundsystem, Greg & Tooli, will take care of the warm-up before Gavin starts his DJset.
