"PTS gets dark, dank and danceable as hell with industrialised EBM dembow from Cardopusher / Safety Trance and Parisian sludgy blendist OKO DJ. Plus live sets from theremin darkwave vamp Mad Girl and improv dub-chaos trio Dark IDL. Grotty and inspired sonics for the 4am heads who know how to move."

Excited to welcome the Bristol debut of long time Arca collaborator Safety Trance aka Cardopusher. Having cut his teeth in the 00’s breakcore / rave scene, his recent work is an Industrial fusion of Reggaeton, EBM, Acid and more in his own demonic dembow style. Expect everything from Bad Gyal to Atari Teenage Riot.
FFO: Arca, Aphex Twin, NAAFI etc
Joining him is BFDM’s psychedelic genre-buster OKO DJ, following an iconic and memorable performance at @bristolnormcore in late ’22. Expect brain melters and revelations on the dancefloor, as she builds us from the dubbed out chasms of Dark IDL to the soaring intensity of Safety Trance's closing set with a 2.5 hour trip.
The first half of the night is all about live performances from local legends, from the clattering Industrial Noise-Dub of Dark IDL to the sonorous melancholy of Mad Girl’s fizzing synths and haunting vocals.
