Saturdays were made for dancing, so come grab a drink or two and shake off the week with us as Cora takes over the cage at Headquarters.
Searing with Sichuan spice, Cora is bringing the heat from Chengdu. Orbiting the cosmic spectres of techno, trance, house, bass and breakbeat, Cora’s ever-evolving sound delivers with compelling momentum and astral intuition - superimposing dramatic subplots and emotional undertows onto unfurling rhythmic narratives, while channelling an acute sensitivity to the kinetic desires of the dancefloor.
All-night basement parties in the sleepless underbelly of Hong Kong’s OMA at the fulcrum of the ‘10s initiated Cora’s swift departure from the glitz and glamour of a long-time modelling career and stint as an indie film actor, towards an inspired pursuit of electronic energies and club music catharsis. An intercontinental dance savant, raving from China to Saigon and beyond - Cora has been a vital force in activating meridians between underground club scenes in East Asia and the rest of the world.
Incubated over years of work, sweat and tears at dedicated nightspots The Observatory in Ho Chi Minh City and .TAG Chengdu, her nuanced aesthetic and penchant for ephemeral grooves have now synthesised into a sophisticated style of her own.
Expect a heady mix of twisted techno, driving beats and a whole lot of vicious fun with Cora behind the decks.
