Jazz Finland Live

The first Beatwave Festival of the year at mbar will be a memorable one; the festival will host the biggest names in its history this June. Beatwave Festival’s partner is Red Bull Music Academy, and in co-operation with mbar will present three hot artists, Ladi6 (NZ), Onra (FR) and FaltyDL (US) first time in Helsinki. At the same weekend, on Sunday, mbar will also host the Söndag Jazz jam sessions.

On Saturday 7 June, two different metropolises and two different continents meet as two mighty producers, FaltyDL from New York and edGeCut form New Delhi, each bring the sound of their home city to Helsinki. FaltyDL is a producer of electronic music who blends the classic genres of the Big Apple, such as hip hop, dubstep, garage, soul, jungle and electronica without forgetting the more nostalgic incarnations of NY and Chicago club music, in his sets. A talented Finnish RBMA alumnus, Somepoe, will be seen on stage on the same night.

Like the New Yorker, Indian producer, EdGeCut, will also give his first show in Finland on Saturday. His music is created from equally hybrid elements, combining genres from dub to break music, drum’n’bass to psychedelic sounds, while the foundations lie in jazz, classical Indian sound and electronic music. Behind the stage name is the man Ish Shehrawat, also the president of Sound Reasons Festival. His live set at the Beatwave Festival is preceded by trio 3 Corners of the World, composed by Petri Kuljuntausta (FI), David Rothenberg (US) and Robert Jürjendal (EST). Organic and electronic elements shake hands in their ambient sound.
