Bedside to throw an album release party at Miami’s Bardot on Saturday, 11/28
Bedside is a Miami-based horn-driven producer DJ duo. Travis Acker and Trace Barfield are performing musicians and multi-instrumentalists whose focus on electronic music production drive Bedside’s high fidelity yet organic sound. No stranger to a dance party, they both have kept dance floors moving from their early days in punk and ska bands to grooving festivals in funk bands. Their utilization of live elements such as improvisational trumpet provides an exciting live set while never missing a beat. Bedside’s debut EP, One Night With You, is set to be released in early December on Digable Digital. Saturday night (11/28), Bedside’s live band will be performing at Bardot featuring live sax, flute, percussion, keys, bass and vocals.
Travis Acker discusses the process of moving from live to digital: “My background has always been in improvisational live music. The idea of leaving the groove open for interpretation depending on the audience and energy is a very romantic idea that puts the emphasis on experiencing the here and now. I have found that DJing music also can carry some of these sentiments. The overall goal remains the same, but the digital tools available now allow for quicker idea development and the ability to take that idea to a performable level in only a matter of days.” Trace Barfield sums up the project’s mantra in a quick statement, “Funky music for funky people!”
