≽Curses (Live)
Ombra International head honcho Curses brings his dark, brooding and pulsating live show to Bristol, blending New Wave and Post-Punk with his ghostly vocals and guitars, punctuated with flashes of 80's EBM and New Beat.

Whether it's performing live at the late Andrew Weatherall's Convenanza Festival, or DJng in the main room at Circoloco DC-10, Curses manages to somehow bring his punk and new wave attitude to all dance floors small and big. A new album is scheduled for 2021 on Dischi Autunno, as well as curating a 3 Disc Compilation with Eskimo Recordings, showcasing the key musical influences that define the Curses sound.

≽Surgeons Girl (live)
Surgeons Girl drapes bumpy basslines next to bubbling analog synths with elaborate sound structures, and at the same time effortlessly bridges the gap between more experimental IDM and almost danceable techno borrowings. Their EP on Livity Sound absolutely blew us away, and their latest EP also featured a recent with Curses on remix duties, and we cant wait to hear their melodic and haunting ambience in the flesh.

≽ Grove (DJ)
Grove is a Bristol-based artist, DJ and producer with a huge reputation in the city's underground circles.Their earth-shattering debut EP 'Queer + Black' is an exploration of identity, both personal and political - a deft combination of sharp hooks and splintering beats beamed in from a club in 3021 AD. 
Sonic shards of Dancehall, Breakbeats and Rave characterise their raucous DJ sets, and having laid down a bruising and ground shaking hour as part of MVT live stream during lockdown, we couldnt wait to invite them back to bring some no restrictions heat on a full capacity dancefloor.

≽ Robin Stewart (DJ)
Robin Stewart is someone who in Bristol needs little introduction. Forming half of techno phenomenon Giant Swan, and also Bristol based band The Naturals, we thought Robin's forward thinking DJ style and musical knowledge would provide a perfect end the twists and turns of the evenings proceedings.
