German brothers Monkey Safari celebrate the release of their album ‘Odyssey’ (Hommage) together with special guest Victor Ruiz from Brazil.
Monkey Safari can look back on a personal odyssey that’s lasted more than 30 years so far. They have a mutual musical spirit and through good and bad times have only grown closer. As such, the artwork for album and tour reflects that and was made by stitching both artist’s faces together, creating one persona from two individuals. As DJs the pair have played everywhere from Timewarp to Awakenings Festival. They also own their own club, Charles Bronson, in their native Halle, Germany, and have released remixes and original material on top labels like Kompakt, Minus, and John Digweed’s Bedrock. The title of this impressive album reflects the journey the duo had throughout the writing process. It was one that took a long time and went from initially being about writing an album of listening music to evolve into being much more about music for the club and for many different dance floors.
Granted you will hear some of the album tracks over the course of the night, before its release the day after!
