SFORMATURA is an evening of music and DJ sets organized by Behrang Karimi at the Salon des Amateurs nightclub. London-based musicians and DJs Big Hands (Honest Jon's) and Josef De joong (Baroque Sunburst) will join Karimi to play records from their archives. The Salon des Amateurs bar will open at 9.30 pm and the concerts will start at 10.30 pm.
Big Hands is a DJ and producer known for his serpentine and labyrinthine electronic productions that founded home on labels such as ‘Al Wootton’s Trule’ and ‘Blank Mind’. Operating from London’s musical institution ‘Honest Jon’s Records’, in 2020 he founded – alongside Soreab – the label ‘Baroque Sunburst,’ releasing a series of distinctive records operating in a space that runs parallel to, but never touches the generally accepted club music sound. In 2024 he launched alongside Abraham Parker, Izz carpel and Hayato Talkahashi the ‘Ottomani Parker’ live set, a collision of jazz with dub and electronica, blending live dubbing of acoustic instruments with an unbound array of rhythms, samples and percussive elements.
Josef de joong is a painter and part time toe tickler from Liverpool. He is currently based in London.
