BLAC MAIL PRESENT: MASTER OF RIBONGIA (SYD), WITH SPECIAL GUESTS

MoR (Italian born Sound Engineer and Drummer Antonio Rosselli), started his computer music adventure in the early 90’s. A big fan of English Electronic labels like Warp, Ninja Tunes and Leaf inspired him to produce ambient, experimental and down tempo tracks. Moving to Sydney in 2003, Antonio immersed himself in the Sydney music scene and something in his sound changed. Influenced by this new scene, his music has evolved with a more melodic, upbeat, experimental, glitch sound. MoR performs an eclectic live show of electronica blended with indie and ambient sounds. The original avant-garde beats gets brought alive through the use of live instruments. The show becomes a one of a kind experience when the sound melds with original visual art projections. Come catch MoR at Revolver Upstairs Thursday May 5th with special guests

In the back room from 11pm Blac Mail DJ’s Sam Gudge, Jesse Young, Hey Sam and more.Band room $8 on the door from 8.30pm. Back room free until 11pm then whole venue $10
