Hot on the heels of the NYE mash-up with SLACK ALICE & Satsumas, Schwet returns upstairs at The Stag & Hounds, for another outsider all-nighter in the atmospheric & intimate ‘Ancient Court of Pie-Poudre’.
Guest selector for the evening is Bucharest’s Agnes Aves. She promises an expansive 3-hour journey; unearthing obscure post-punk gems, oddball techno chuggers, dancefloor-ready Krautrock, outernational rhythms, mutant electro and bizarre experiments, plus resident DJs playing the usual unusual.
