Description

We’re back.

Undercurrent returns to City At Night for its third edition, this time, with a true giant of the underground. We’re taking a deeper dive into the roots of electronic music culture and its forward-facing expressions.

Undercurrent continues as more than just an event, it’s a movement. A curated experience of sound and space, where Ottawa’s creative energy meets its electronic pulse.

Welcome back to Undercurrent. Underground, on purpose.

Guest Headliner:

🎧 NICK CURLY (8Bit / Cécille Records)

A name that needs no introduction to fans of deep and cutting-edge house music, Nick Curly has been at the forefront of the scene for over a decade. Founder of 8Bit Records and Cécille Records, his labels have become benchmarks for quality in underground electronic music, releasing genre-defining tracks from some of the world’s most respected artists.

With a style that blends deep, groovy rhythms and precise minimal textures, Nick has left his mark on the dance floors of FabricWatergateSonus Festival, and countless other iconic venues and festivals. His productions, including the acclaimed Between The Lines album and the In The House compilation, are staples in the crates of selectors worldwide.

This is more than a booking, it’s a once-in-Ottawa’s-lifetime opportunity to witness one of the undergrounds most influential figures up close in an intimate setting.

Centretown would like to acknowledge that Ottawa is built on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation.

The Anishinaabe Algonquin peoples have lived on this land since time immemorial. We recognize and deeply appreciate their historic connection to this place. We also recognize the contributions of Métis, Inuit, and other Indigenous peoples have made, both in shaping and strengthening this community in particular, and our province and country as a whole.
