Call Super & Objekt {ARPO}
Always double check opening hours with the venue before making a special visit.
Two of electronic music’s most distinctive voices join forces for an extended back-to-back at The White Hotel – a rare opportunity to hear them stretch out across a full night.
Call Super and Objekt have spent the past decade pursuing highly personal approaches to club music. Objekt’s DJ sets are technically dazzling but never clinical, mixing genres and tempos with a sense of play and crowd connection that earned him Mixmag’s DJ of the Year in 2018. Call Super’s sets are more painterly, threading unusual selections together with a near-tactile sense of mood and motion. As friends and long-time collaborators, they share an instinct for sidestepping convention and following the energy of a room wherever it leads.
Objekt (TJ Hertz), a Berlin-based producer and part-time software engineer, is known for his high-definition approach to club music – both in the studio and behind the decks. From the contorted bass of early 12”s like Cactus to the crystalline sound design of Cocoon Crush, his output has earned plaudits from Aphex Twin and Autechre and cemented his place in the lineage of experimental dance music. His latest EP, Chicken Garaage, plays with early dubstep and garage forms while folding in field recordings made at a lake house outside Berlin. It’s playful, heady, and unmistakably his.
Call Super (Joseph Seaton) continues to shape his own peculiar universe – one where lush textures, jazz inflections and emotional depth take precedence over club convention. His early EP The Present Tense helped launch fabric’s Houndstooth label, but it was 2014’s Suzi Ecto that properly turned heads, with its shimmering, jazz-tinged grooves topping year-end lists. Arpo followed in 2017, expanding his palette with live instrumentation and freer structures. His new mix CD A Rhythm Protects One – Dekmantel’s first – is a fluid, intricately sequenced blend of aliases, deep cuts and curveballs, inspired by the golden age of the format.
At The White Hotel, they’ll go in tandem from start to finish – no handovers, no fixed structure. Just two artists at the height of their powers, guiding the night wherever it needs to go.
