Book Tickets

Rrose - DJ Set (US)

Dark, perfectly designed, queered techno. Swirling, foggy effects are layered top of high-and-wide-toned bleeping synth melodies that rise and fall with crisp, solid bass beats.

Octo Octa - DJ Set (US)

Woozy late night house; shimmering club-ready earworms and primal dance-floor functionality.

Horseplay - DJ Set (GB)

House, disco, art, liberty and sleaze from "Bristol's Best Gay Clubnight" (Guardian)

Stefan Goodchild - Live AV/Lighting Design (GB)

Live analogue video performance and lighting design from LCD Soundsystem Collaborator

Knickerbocker - DJ Set (GB)

Alt-pop and cuts of house that you might not hear elsewhere.

Steakhouse Live - Steakhouse Live (Various)

Experimental risk-taking performance curated by this legendary London performance collective. Artists Daniel Oliver, Lucy Hutson and Oozing Gloop will perform short works.

johnsmith - We Are All Made Of Stars (GB)

Channelling mountains, stars, slime mould and bacteria, john gets into drag as Mother Earth and tries on bodies from the cellular to the cosmic. We are all made of stars brings together lip sync, projection, live sound and skin to grapple with some overwhelming questions on a microscopic scale.

Project O - Native Instincts : Psychic Labours 3.0 (GB)

Alexandrina Hemsley and Jamila Johnson-Small comment on the fallout from being black, mixed and female, making visible positions of otherness so that they will eventually no longer seem 'other'. Broken promises and a sea of assumptions. Rising doubt. Timeless dances that could only happen now, after all that happened before.
