An evening of DJ sets from Sylvan Esso and special guests GRRL x Made of Oak.
GRRL x Made of Oak will present their first official performances at Brooklyn’s Pioneer Works on July 27th, and Los Angeles’ Gold Diggers on August 4th. Announced today, both events are free and will also include special DJ sets from Sylvan Esso.
Sylvan Esso is a two-time GRAMMY-nominated duo from Durham, North Carolina. Their new single “Your Reality” follows the scorching arrival of recent single “Sunburn,” which The New York Times praised as “bouncy and pointillistic,” and Rolling Stone described as “a study in contrasts, detailing the exhilaration of pursuing pleasure and pushing the envelope.” After debuting the track for tens of thousands of fans across three nights at the Historic Durham Athletic Park, the band went on to complete an Austin City Limits taping, spring tour, a stop at Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival, and a headlining Electric Forest Festival slot. This summer will see Sylvan Esso play Newport Folk Festival, Life is Beautiful and more than 30 arena and amphitheater shows across the US with ODESZA.

Two mainstays of North Carolina’s eclectic dance scene have come together to introduce the beginning of something exhilarating, unexpected and entirely new. For the better part of the past decade, Durham-based DJ, producer and NTS-affiliate James Mapley-Brittle (GRRL) and Sylvan Esso’s Nick Sanborn (Made of Oak) have found themselves spinning their own singular, dissimilar strains of electronic music at many of the same parties, without realizing the specific obsessions they shared. A conversation about peak-hour club music led to visions of a collaboration, and the mission to create a massive track that was layered and multi-textured enough to fit into each of their sets. But as they convened at Betty’s studio in Chapel Hill, a creative chemistry emerged, and the result was much bigger.

This is a 21+ event.
