About 嶋田会希–Elle Shimada

嶋田会希–Elle Shimada is a violinist, producer, curator, DJ and multi-instrumentalist from Tokyo based in Melbourne.

A unique combination of thickly layered string lines making tender love to heavy new-jazz influenced beats creates a cinematic and other-worldly atmosphere while keeping the dance floor pulsing with visionary and edgy production.

Fluidly fusing between Tokyo’s futuristic underground scene, London and Detroit House, LA Hip Hop, Melbourne mellow-jazz and sacred spirit’s songs somewhere deep in the mountains, Shimada’s production and live sets are a kinetic succession of dance beats and abstract compositions.

Shimada has recently expanded her live set with a 6piece band made up of Melbourne’s genre-bending and finest musicians – Abbey Howlett, Rara Zulu, Lucky Pereira, Finn Rees and Matthew Hayes.

The band adds a fresh energy and jazzy and worldly twist to her production creating a unique live electronica sound. Finding a like-minded and supportive family of creatives has allowed Shimada to explore the curation of visually and intellectually stimulating live shows.

Elle Shimada Band’s live shows often feature multicultural and diverse artists of various mediums of arts (dance, fashion and fine arts etc.). Her curation is a politically charged peaceful protest, and emphases on exchanging knowledge and energy between stage, dance floor and the community.

Intertwined with feminism, cultural curiosity and political mindset, Shimada utilizes the uniting power of music to cultivate a dance-floor-activism that is inclusive, honest and raw.

SECONDARY ACT: TINA EDWARDS & MARLON GEORGE ALL NIGHT LONG

Elle’s performance will be followed by a very special night of music as we welcome back Tina Edwards and Marlon George for the closing night of their summer residency. Favouring music that was irresistibly danceable, expect all the good stuff: Disco, Soul, RnB, Afro, Latin, House & Techno. Party will last until 3 am for this one!

As well as their late night slot, Tina Edwards and Marlon George kick things off before Elle Shimada at 9pm with some tasty jazz warmers, so get down early!

Free entry at 11 pm for the later set.
