ROLY PORTER (Subtext)
Formerly of Industrial dubstep act Vex'd
(Planet Mu) Roly Porter mines a rich seam of eerie, corrosive greyscale and
moreover heavy dub-wise electronics, with a warped but careful sense of modern
classical composition.
He releases on Subtext (the label ran
by himself, Paul Purgas and James Ginzburg (Emptyset) .His debut 'Aftertime'
was followed by the acclaimed 'Life cycle of a massive star' which pushed his
reputation further as a producer of cutting edge electronica.
This will be a new show from Roly
based around his LP scheduled to be released next year...
GAZELLE TWIN (Anti-Ghost Moon Ray)
Gazelle Twin is the stage name of
Elizabeth Bernholz, a British composer, producer and musician from Brighton,
England.
Unsettling rhythms and haunting
vocals ride out on mutoid electronica with avant garde dynamics exploring
domains where the psychological meets the biological locked in frenzied
rapturous bliss.
She has so far released the LP's
Changelings (2010) and I Am Shell I Am Bone (2011) and Unflesh (2014) and a
host of singles and Ep's. As well as being a pioneer of highly original
electronic music she has also remixed music by electronic legend John Foxx.
GUM TAKES TOOTH (Tigertrap Records / Endtyme)
Two man everything machine endlessly
seeking what-the-fuck aural mesmerism in a maze like arrangement of physically
overwhelming rituals of dance music, sound system culture, doom and
pan-cultural psychedelics. Each member focusing intently on unmediated rhythmic
interaction between crowd and performer, listener and emitter, directing the
energy towards unexplored altered states. Dark primal frequencies are felt and
not heard, unremitting circular drums shatter and rebirth whilst a cast of
vocal characters provide an astral guide through these dizzying manipulations.
FREIDA ABTAN (Oral)
Freida Abtan is a Canadian
multi-disciplinary artist and composer. Her music falls somewhere in between
musique concrete and more modern noise and experimental audio and both genres
are influential to her sound. Her work has been compared to bands such as Coil,
and Zoviet France, because of her use of spectral manipulation and collage.
Freida primarily works with samples
of both musical and non-musical objects that she records herself and then
manipulates, often beyond recognition, through techniques derived from musique concrete
and through successive layers of digital signal processing. She uses structures
reminiscent of popular music and more abstract compositional variants to
sequence these sounds into melodic songs before incorporating her own treated
voice.
As well as having created visual
shows for and performed with the internationally renowned group Nurse with
Wound, Freida has presented her own sound and visual work at festivals across
North America and Europe.
COLOSSLOTH (Cold Spring)
Leicestershire's electronic
esoterrorist and Black Forest favourite has been gaining critical acclaim with
his innovative soundscapes and genre defying sonic hexes.. Be sure to catch the
sound of deep England channelled via kneeling over his arsenal of FX and
gadgetry. It's strange to think this is all the sound of one man...His New LP
is out next year on Cold Spring Records....
CUTTHROATS
Cutthroats is a band from Vilnius,
Lithuania, consisting of three musicians and a visual artist. Cutthroats merges
various influences in order to explore new musical horizons. The band once
stated that they produce "vital stimulants for melancholics". These
stimulants are made of unique mixture of kraut, hypnotizing monotony and post-noise
aesthetics. Cutthroats live performances are full of sonic energy, blasting
drum beats and unexpected twists of guitar sounds. The band was formed in the
winter of 2014 in Vilnius. During this year cutthroats extensively toured in
Lithuania and performed in its biggest music and art festivals. For now the
band has released one video clip for the track "Ignition".
