Alix Perez brings the Sabotage tour to SILO this Saturday, with SP:MC on the mic. If you know what these two do to a room together, you’ve already bought your ticket.
Alix Perez put out Sabotage in February and described it simply as “further experimenting in that 130-140 realm.” Eight tracks. Sub-bass that functions more like architecture than percussion. A record that opens with something almost meditative — “Cape Reinga” — and then spends the next thirty-seven minutes methodically dismantling whatever you thought you were in for. It is, by some distance, the most focused statement he’s made in years. And now he’s bringing it live to Brooklyn.
Perez has been running the Sabotage tour since February, working through New Zealand and Australia before landing in the US. By the time he hits 90 Scott Avenue, the set will be fully broken in.
And then there’s the matter of who’s on the mic. SP:MC is on the bill for this show. Stephen Paul Slowly has been one of the essential voices in bass music for over two decades, an MC whose presence doesn’t decorate a set so much as anchor it. He appears on “Skunkworks” on the Sabotage LP, a collaboration that reviewers have called a highlight of the record and you can feel his influence strongly on the track, they say, tilting it somewhere distinctly his own. This isn’t a cold pairing. When a producer and an MC have shared material to draw from, a live set stops being a performance and becomes something closer to a conversation. The room will feel that difference.
Alix Depauw, the Belgian-born, New Zealand-based producer behind the name, has always occupied a strange and useful position in bass music: too emotional for the grimier corners, too technically intricate for easy categorization. His debut album 2009‘s 1984, released on Shogun Audio, announced someone who wasn’t going to choose between beauty and weight. He’s spent the years since refusing to stay in any single lane, liquid, halftime, the darker dubstep-adjacent territory that Sabotage stakes out most fully. The through-line isn’t genre. It’s intention. Every record sounds like it was made by someone who knew exactly what feeling they were chasing.
SILO is the right room for this. The space at 90 Scott Avenue was built by people who understand that the venue is part of the music, that the distance between the speakers and the back wall is a compositional decision.
The US leg of the Sabotage tour has already moved through Seattle, San Diego, DC, and Philadelphia. By Saturday in Brooklyn, Perez will be deep in the rhythm of this run. Don’t sleep on it.
