Tamara Chichaeva - Walking In Circles

Opening: June 11th
Closing: July 23rd

Tamara’s body of work has been developed through analogue photographic processes that focus on, enlarge and manipulate everyday surfaces. It is an exploration into the space which exists between one thing and another. By playing with light, the fullness of everything reveals itself, shadows are created, textures become apparent.

These are beautiful and delicate works! Have to be seen IRL to be appreciated!

Opening night will feature the sounds of Venus Flytrap .flac

Echo Systems is a new party series by Maria Gallo aka DJ Possum ...α˜›βΜ€α•α·, exploring the edges of sound and cosmic spaces. The series soft launches at Runner Up Rooftop on Sunday 17th May, taking things from day into the afterglow.

& .rze have been orbiting this idea for a while; both adventurous selectors meeting somewhere between late 90s & 2000s tech house, deeper downtempo, ambient trance, and the softer, slower corners in between.

Expect a slow lift-off and a gentle drift… it’s one for the heads and the horizon.

Free Entry

This month’s featured artist is .deejay 🎢

His top record pick? Nat I Γ…rhus (test pressing) from Danish label Regelbau. A super personal one for him, shaped by time spent in Γ…rhus and the community there. The hand drawn sleeve by friends makes it even more special, bringing back long days in the June sun and the spirit of the 8000.

The standout track? Hard to choose when every cut hits, but β€œSunrise Sunset” stands out, a collaboration from the whole Regelbau crew. It really captures that Γ…rhus house feeling. Feels like a full dancefloor and a big smile moment.

As a record collector, radio presenter, and DJ, Empty DJ also runs an archival blog focused on uploading records that are not online. He is drawn to overlooked and hard to find releases, often digging through record shops or deep on Discogs. It all started with Chicago records on labels like Trax and Dance Mania, worn recycled vinyl cuts that still carry a strong piece of dancefloor history.
