!!! THIS IS A DANCE PARTY !!! The Dance Hall presents Maison Electronique w/ special guests DJ Dumptruck, a new collab ft. Chris Klaxton + Mike Effenberger.

Maison Électronique is a trio playing original compositions that blend contemporary seben, highlife, and sahel guitar styles with Western genres like shoegaze, surf, and dub. 

The group is led by guitarist Nathaniel Braddock. Braddock has traveled extensively in West and Central Africa, and collaborated with many musicians from Ghana, Congo, Zambia, Uganda, Mali, Mozambique, and Senegal, as well as US and Australian Indie rock bands. This group is his tribute to those friendships, running fluidly among the genres to construct a sound that is at once classic as well as strikingly contemporary.

Braddock also leads Occidental Brothers Dance Band Int'l, Trio Mokili, and Accra Quartet. He is joined by Ugandan bassist Alex Donsal Kateregga and drummer Frank Aveni. The group is based out of the Boston area. The group gets compared to vibey instrumental guitar trios Khruangbin and La Lom, but with more notes. A lot more notes.

DJ Dumptruck is an instrumental duo (Chris Klaxton, drums and Mike Effenberger, B3 Organ) that explores the intersection of postrock, soul, hip-hop, and groove-driven electronic music. The area dyad is as likely to be found improvising a live-score of the Superbowl as they are to be encountered at a barbeque joint or art gallery.
