Solid Funk #3 invites Garage Hermétique: Views (Live), Onirik, and João Maria
Garage Hermétique is a label for mind-bending, trippy, experimental music. It can be house, techno, electro, and ambient—the genre doesn’t matter. Expect weird textures, dissonant harmonies, unexpected instrumentation, freaky sampling, and unorthodox composing methods. Playing will be Views, who uses visualization to create his music. Onirik, the founder of Garage Hermétique, will be bringing some peculiar funk, alongside resident Joao Maria.
