unravel: Henry Brooks

Unravel is a late night dance series where people come to get lost in a vast spectrum of sounds curated by a diverse range of DJs. Too often we put up guises and fill ourselves with inhibitions as a defense mechanism to this increasingly hostile and disingenuous world. Unravel aims to create a space where one feels safe to shed these layers of security and to truly find themselves, and a community that is happy to embrace them. Music starts as soon as the doors open.

Coming fresh off of an inevitably stellar performance at Movement, the biggest Techno festival this side the Atlantic, Henry Brooks graces Natalie’s with his presence for a Columbus debut. Born in Grand Rapids based out of Detroit, Henry Brooks has been cranking out hard grooves in the techno scene for just about a decade now. Co-signed by Charlotte De Witt and Richie Hawtin, Brooks has seen a rapid and well-earned ascension in the techno community both in the US and abroad. His sounds lend themselves to the harder and faster-paced sounds of what’s commonly seen in clubs/warehouses in Europe, but with a bit of his own melodic touch originating from his early roots of metalcore and big room house music. Henry Brooks is sure to keep both the temperature and the BPM high here at Natalie’s in the Music Hall.

From the dark side of disco, to hypnotic & hard groove techno, Lizsco‘s curation ability resonates across the dance floor for the ultimate eclectic groove. Her love for obscure beats and sounds is ever evolving to bring the funkiest selections to the stage. She has opened for some of the best midwest techno artists such as Sassmouth, Kiddo, and Fusegrade, along with significant national acts such as Calvin Stanley, No Mana, Mija, Shay de Castro, and Azzecca. Based in Columbus, Ohio, she is also 1/2 of the dark disco/indie dance duo Filthy/Gorgeous, and is a partner and resident DJ in Deep Field Explorations.

Fractured Eons, a pathfinder of the electronic music landscape, meticulously charts his trajectory through the realms of sound. Beginning his exploration of techno in 2014, he has honed his craft with a keen ear for innovation and a dedication to technical excellence. As an original architect of District in 2015 and his residency at Tilt Shift (which commenced in late 2018) serves as a testament to his prowess behind the decks. Influenced by the likes of Oscar Mulero and Headless Horseman, his transition from the industrial scene to a darker, more hypnotic sound is marked by a nuanced understanding of sonic dynamics. As a fervent disciple of musical exploration, Fractured Eons continues to push the boundaries of sonic innovation with unparalleled precision.
