Eight Gigs: Slow Magic

If you thought cerebral, visceral and thoughtful electronic music was dead, take one listen to “Girls” by Slow Magic and be transported to places you've never though imaginable. The DJ calls his all-encompassing style “music by your imaginary friend” which could not be more apropos. He ‘s successfully shielded his identity and can be found wearing a strange, tribal mask, working wonders with the infusion of live floor toms and open-ended tunes that meander and roam about. This show will be hosted by UC Davis' Entertainment Council and will be an all-ages outdoor event. In the interim, get the wonderful How To Run Away, out now via Downtown Records. 1 Shields Avenue in Davis, www.slowmagicmusic.com.
