Manisdron + Ben Vince + Saskia
Headfirst Editor's Pick
"No-wave damaged acid and electro-fied cyberpunk techno somewhere between Dame Area, DMX Krew and Tetsuo the Iron Man. LIES Records’ Manisdron leads this sweltering triple attack of adventure sonics with Ben Vince’s infinite sax-loop wormholes and Saskia’s futuristic hardware sound design in tow. "

Strange Brew presents
Manisdron LIVE+
Ben Vince LIVE +
Saskia LIVE
Friday 23 May | 19:00 - 22:00
We are very excited to announce this triple-headliner show featuring 3 revered artists from different fields, showcasing their own unique take on warped club [not club] experimentalism...
We invite Manisdron, the solo project of epic percussionist Takafumi Okada who uses tense techno drumming fuelled by manic vocals & mutant no-wave grinding body music. We welcome back Ben Vince’s mind-expanding saxophone dreamscapes plus Saskia’s much-anticipated Bristol return, where will be reunited with her cinematic, broken-techno ⚔️
---------------------------
Manisdron (Cathodic Records / L.I.E.S. / Japan)
This project delivers a rebellious and raw sound, oozing with sweat and oil, it's fuelled by cyber vocals, hypnotic grooves and extremely precise, motorik-metallic drumming. Manisdron's hardware freakery via L.I.E.S. and his own imprint Cathodic Records, demonstrate his love for steaming EBM but with gnawing percussion which feel reminiscent of of his former involvement with Goat jp but tinged with frenzied synth blasts and industrial.
Ben Vince (Hessle Audio / Ecstatic / Where To Now?)
A prolific collaborator, including with EP/64, Rat Heart, Cucina Povera, Joy Orbison, Mica Levi + Valentina Magaletti, Ben Vince is known for his saxophone explorations, inventive rhythms, textures and moods. He released 5 solo albums celebrated by Pitchfork, WIRE & The Guardian. Through live improvisation, reprocessing & looping, his intuitive approach surpasses the seeming limitations of his primary instrument.
Saskia (Accidental Meetings / Archaic Vaults)
Passionate about music that combines elements of loose techno and wigged-out bass mutations, Saskia creates cinematic and playful electronic dance music, explored through negative space and unpredictable experimentalism. Her stunning EP 'es' released on Accidental Meetings last year is an ode to her amorphous and curious approach.
Entry requirements: 14+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
