After almost a year platforming Bristol’s creative queer community, Transgression.fm step into the @Strange Brew back room. Sounds of Transgression will focus on dissolving the lines between performer and crowd. As bodies move like constellations through corridors of light and shadow, allow your senses to warp in our distorted reflective playground. Fill your mind with curiosity. Prepare your body for movement and light.

The eclectic soundscape of the night will be spun by a lineup of futuristic dreamweavers. Live alternative performed by Malthus followed by barrelling bass and breaks from georg-i. Supported by two of our resident broadcasters - Sissy Boy Tears and ORDERLY ROOM, showcasing their expansive collections.

- MALTHUS (LIVE) -
Malthus is an artist from Lancashire, North-West England. After a 2023 run that included a sold-out debut headline show in London, a sell-out headline slot at FOLD London, a main stage performance at Paris' Ideal Trouble Festival, and the release of his self-directed visual EP "CONVULSIONS" with Hunger Magazine.

Malthus' music sits in the intersection between alternative RnB and electronic dance music. He credits his working-class upbringing, rave culture and primitivism - utilising twisted cinematography and disjointed movement direction to construct a surreal audio-visual world. Malthus' work questions expressions of lust and violence - flipping orchestral and electronic music into expressive, soulful performances that have garnered international attention, including collaborations with the likes of Rick Owens, Charles Jeffrey and Matt Lambert.

- georg-i (DJ) -
Originally from Leeds, georg-i is a Bristol based producer and DJ whose love for everything fast, scrappy and rushing with euphoria permeates his work. With releases on aya and BFTT's label YCO and Perko's Felt Imprint, georg-i has cultivated a sound that will have you barrelling along one moment and give you serious whiplash the next.

- ORDERLY ROOM (DJ) -
Years of DJing industrial "post-club" will take its toll on anyone, even the supple and versatile ORDERLY ROOM. And sure enough, after a 2023 wrist injury sustained while blending 18 Slikback tunes and a smoking area phone recording about darts, medical professionals eventually conceded that nothing further could be done. But retirement was to be no option either: an unspeakable evil has dared to rear its ugly head and tout a travesty of blog house. The LCD Soundsystem subreddit is in flames. Charli has endorsed Kamala Harris. 2 Many DJs have had enough. In the community's last gasp of desperation, Bugged Out beam a Justice crucifix into the Bristol night sky and so: ORDERLY ROOM steps up to the plate once more, knowing that only they have the pettiness – and the dusty late 00s harddrive – for the job.
