DJ Yogi returns to The Blue Lamp in Aberdeen ahead of dates in London. He’s ready to bring the heat with a four-hour set of killer shoegaze tracks. Don’t miss out on this month’s edition of DJ Yogi Like a Daydream at The Blue Lamp.
Shoegaze is an 80s/90s alt-rock subgenre known for distorted, effects-laden guitar sounds and ethereal vocals. It gets its name from the trance-like state musicians enter, standing still and gazing at their shoes on stage. Shoegaze creates a “wall of sound” through layering multiple guitar tracks and effects for a dense, atmospheric sound. My Bloody Valentine, Lush, and Slowdive are big shoegaze bands.
Kevin Mitchell and Chris Sansbury founded POST. This was from a desire to cut through the noise to share the great things that happen in Aberdeen. They focus on community, culture and also the interesting people of the city. The local artists, businesses and charities; photographers, musicians and entertainers. These are the people that make a positive impact on our city every day. So they use video, audio, writing and social media to amplify the voices in our community. And to ultimately give a platform to Aberdeen folk to engage and tell their own stories.
Recent work includes coverage of Spectra 2023, interviews with We Are Here Scotland founder Ica Headlam; Paralympic gold medalist, Neil Fachie; Aberdeen rapper Chef and his push for success; an article about the pedestrianisation of Union Street; coverage of Nuart Aberdeen and TEDx Aberdeen, as well as coverage of the campaign to Save the Belmont.
We are independent and entirely self funded. We just about cover our costs, but if you would like to help support our work, you could buy us a coffee.
