James Orvis + Saint Cole + MyOneManBand

Awayke proudly presents the 11th Instalment of beautiful aceness.
This is the final Awayke event of 2016 and it will be entirely electronic.

JAMES ORVIS
James’ former project was PARIS XY, a magnificent triumph, and one that launched AWAYKE as a concept in 2014. His new musical engagement bears more emphasis on the live and energetic aspects of electronic music. Combining the core driving elements of House and Techno with the complex organic atmospheres and euphoric melodic arrangements that were prominent in his previous works.
James takes direct influence from the worlds of Philosophy, Science and Spirituality utilising lucid dream states, sacred geometry and both western and eastern philosophies to form concepts for his songs and his emerging visual art. He discovered that the act of making music induces similar states to those found in deep meditation and he seeks to pull the audience into a transcendental hypnotic state that results in social connection and euphoria.

SAINT COLE
Techno/Experimental/Electronica
Nic Marsden of Saint Cole grew up in West Yorkshire, England, just 2 miles away from the legendary techno event The Orbit. It’s no surprise he would eventually jump head first into the darker sounds of electronic music, influenced by producers like Underworld, Richie Hawtin, Chemical Brothers, Leftfield, Orbital, Green Velvet, Dave Clarke and also many British indie/punk bands. He has also been in several live bands as a rapper and lead vocalist, and has worked as a song writer and ghost producer for several U.K bands and award-winning national artists. His approach to electronic music is unique and fresh, even given the present-day boundless spectrum of electronic music.

MYONEMANBAND
Taking equal inspiration from the DIY culture of early warehouse parties and the panoramic scope of classic film soundtracks, MyOneManBand creates one-off electronic compositions that are created live in the moment to hang in the air over the crowd before being lost, for
