RUSH: Charlie Sparks, Parfait, KYRUH
About This Event
Charlie Sparks, Parfait and KYRUH perform at the Knockdown Center, presenting a lineup that spans lean techno, French-inflected house and composed live electronics. Sparks’s long-form, percussive programming suits Knockdown’s long-room acoustics; Parfait’s material traces the 2011 Parfait Tirage 12‑inch — the first release on Tim Sweeney’s Beats In Space, which merged electronic house and French pop — while KYRUH balances DJ discipline and live performance with an emphasis on structure and tonal detail.
