PAWSA

The Attic, Swansea

Sat 22 June

The increasingly popular Con7rol returns for another night of uptempo hedonism, in association with Solo Events, this time bringing the continuingly rising star Pawsa into the mix. Pawsa’s presence in this particular scene has become somewhat inescapable since his debut EP was released Pilot (2014) and his position has been solidified by popular tracks like Groovy Cat, which shows off his ability to provide distinctive wavey house tracks (with the help of a superb sample of the theme from The Pink Panther).

More recently, he’s been releasing harder-hitting tech-house tracks with nostalgic vocals, reminiscent of acid house but with his own idiosyncratic twist – most notably with Party and Back 2 Front. These have been released on his own label, Pawz. Listen to any of Pawsa’s tracks and it’s clear that these are not sombre tracks to be listened to in a bedroom alone; the producer has evidently spent time crafting anthems destined for the dancefloor, with a sole mission of working crowds and lifting moods. Pawsa has managed to deliver this during tours in Australia and throughout his residency in Ibiza, so there’s little reason to think he will serve up anything different in Swansea.
