Amazing set, thanks so much for playing.

Introducing our line-up...James Adrian Brown

You might recognise James Adrian Brown as the guitarist in Pulled Apart By Horses, but these days he has established himself as a stand-alone artist in electronic composition and experimentation.

In on the Kill Taker by Fugazi album cover.

''Were they to reunite, Fugazi would feel more pressure than any act in history, including Bikini Kill, to do it in a dignified way consistent with the beliefs that once made them the respectable heroes of integrity.'

The Strange World Of… #Fugazi

The Strange World Of… Fugazi | The Quietus Fugazi were the (post-) hardcore/ punk/ rock band that got better with every release. Here are ten entry points into their back catalogue

Morning. I have written at length about FUGAZI, the band that kept getting better and then left us in the lurch. How could they ever return? Won’t they? Or can’t they? @thequietus.com @dischord.bsky.social thequietus.com/interviews/s...

We are open to applications from media who want to come and review the festival. Message us and share where you want to review for.

We have half filled our DJ slots for the festival but have a few slots left. Looking for radio show curators, journalists, labels etc in electronic and experimental music. DM

Michael Stanton's @thejupiterroom.bsky.social radio show on @campradio.bsky.social is an aural wonder every time. I recommend.

Meet our line-up... Rosie Tee

Birmingham's Rosie Tee is a composer and performer that conjures technicolour narratives from electronica, jazz, psych and avant-pop.

Introducing our line-up... Pram

Legendary Birmingham band whose sound dances around the electronic and the analog, employs unconventional instruments and draws on krautrock, exotica and dub.

Their first time in the East Midlands since the 90s - not to be missed.

Just booked tickets to this. See you there?

Introducing our line-up.. Pleasure Pool

Pleasure Pool is Finn O’Hare (synths, production), Andrew Robertson (vocals), and a rolling cast of Glasgow-based musicians.

Pleasure Pool’s sound is a patchwork of echoing, dubby vocals, synth melodies, louche percussion, cowbells, and flecks of trumpet.

Slowdive - Pygmalion album cover. Abstract, blocky shapes against a white background.

Ridiculed and written off, Slowdive produced a meditative post rock masterpiece before quietly splitting up. Joe Banks reflects on why no one was listening at the time, and why we all need to listen now

#Slowdive’s Pygmalion at 30

Leftfield album cover - animal jawbone (shark, some kind of fish?) around a speaker cone.

'Along with Underworld, Orbital and The Prodigy, Leftfield took the party out of the clubs and into festivals. Forget the retrospective chat about Britpop in the mid-90s, the new generation of dance music held considerably more sway.'

Introducing our line-up... @hawksmoormusic.bsky.social

Hawksmoor's recently released ‘Oneironautics’ album on Soul Jazz (following the critically acclaimed ‘Telepathic Heights’) further immersing his work in the sensibilities of 70s/80s German electronic acts like Neu!, Can, Cluster and Harmonia
