On her debut LP Switcheroo, LA-based artist Gelli Haha makes “a space for pure creative chaos … somewhere between Studio 54 and Area 51.” Ahead of a sold out show at Resident DTLA on Friday, Aug. 8 (Presented by KCRW), she hits the Guest Selector decks with choice selects. The cuts span from early Björk—the very proto-Gelli Haha-esque “Big Time Sensuality”—to dance arts center, her support act at the Resident show, to longtime FREAKS ONLY favorites Mermaid Chunky.
P.S. If you snagged tickets to the show, you’re in for quite the ride: dancers, trampolines, and snakes in a can await. Hear more directly from the source by pressing that player button on this page, and scroll on for the playlist.
