Raime
Raime utilise the space and pace of early dubstep but mutate it by channelling an idiosyncratic allegiance to early 80's goth, industrial, synthwave and lost folk amongst other dark pathways. Their dread sound is a compellingly hopeless one- eerie, austere and yet strangely accessible, Raime make party music for Cenobites.

Leyland James Kirby
From the plunderphonic terrorism of the V/VM label through to his examinations of memory and temporal deterioration through melancholy-saturated noise and sampled sleight-of-hand as The Caretaker, Berlin-based émigré Leyland James Kirby is one of finest artists of the last decade. Playing a very rare UK date off the back of a truimphant slew of genre-trashing releases, this is a singular opportunity to experience James's uniquely beautiful dark sonic world.

King Midas Sound
Kevin Martin, Roger Robinson and Kiki Hitomi's heartbroken and degraded lovers rock has morphed in to an extraordinary live experience- fragility, loss and insecurity bent through Kevin 'The Bug' Martin's mixing desk in to a synaesthesic carpet-bombing of dissonance, noise-dub and fractured melody. King Midas Sound alchemises a zone between the heart and the feet - a contemplative vortex that is blissfully edgy.
