PLAYLIST : RISING 2022 AT MAX WATT'S
Max Watt’s is RISING 2022's undergound bunker for subterranean sounds. We've prepped a playlist ahead of your descent.
Descending the staircase of Max Watt’s at RISING 2022 drops you headfirst into prophetic post-punk, global crate diggers’ selections and local dancefloor burners.
In this playlist from RISING's music team you'll encounter open-hearted anthems care of The Goon Sax and Ana Roxanne's tranquil dispatches. The heat gets turned up with futurist rap from Shabazz Palaces; dub frequencies, broken beats and four on the floor techno from OK EG and Kelly Lee Owens; and to close, dance music abstractions and revelations from DJ Nobu and Kenji Takimi. Fire up then book below.
