Trailblazing vodka brand, Absolut and electro giants Le Galaxie joined forces to host a party of mesmeric proportions on the 9th October in The Academy for the launch of the new single Carmen and the exclusive reveal of a collaborative project six months in the making, the Carmen video.
Over 500 invited guests, which included influential members of the capital’s art and music scene…and moi, a lushy rose by another surname, HOLLA….
…were welcomed into an Absolut…ly transformed Academy where they were treated to an Art Battle with artists Steve Simpson and James Kirwan, DJ battle from Nialler9 and Philip Boyle Aka Ghostboy, Remix by Absolut run by Jamie White of Youth Nation, a set from electronic duo Faune and the main act the electrifying, Le Galaxie.
On the night guests were treated to a selection of Absolut cocktails including Absolut Crush and Absolut Raspberri & Lemon from the Andy Warhol bar.
Guests got involved on the night with the Art Battle being fuelled by suggestions which were sent to the Twitter wall.
Over the last six months, the collaborative video project known as Pulse by Absolut captured electrifying reactions of Le Galaxie’s fans to their brand new single Carmen and digitally transformed them with special effects, filters and finally polygonal shapes to include them in this futuristic video.
