A
gig
held at Strange Brew
on Valentines Day. The event starts at 19:00.
Natural Causes begins. The first installment brings batshit Valentine’s Day havoc for nonconformists, miscreants, mutant lovers, and the happily unclassifiable. No roses, no slow dances, just romance done wrong (right...). Three Bristol debuts surface at once on the Strange Brew central floor, each pulling in a different direction, impossible to ignore.
(1. Export Import
(2. Daisy Ray
(3. Soborgnost
(1. Export Import are 10+ Londoners smashing jagged percussion, sputtering electronics, and restless horns into something improvised and brittle. Their music moves through noise, free jazz, experimental rock, ritual sound, industrial, and post‑punk rhythms, folding and jerking in ways you have never heard before. Their shows feel like music collided with a ritual, bodies, instruments, and noises moving unpredictably. No hooks, no polish, just sharp edges, strange rhythms, and vibes that linger long after you leave. Sometimes a cymbal wobbles like it is questioning gravity, a horn squeals like it is arguing with the floor, yet everything somehow keeps going.
(2. Daisy Ray is a Belgian producer twisting synths, drum machines, and warped electronics into jagged, restless grooves. Her music moves through experimental electronic, dub, art-pop-punk, lo‑fi, glitch, and industrial tinged textures, jerking and stuttering with rough edges and unexpected turns. Tracks feel improvised, on the verge of unravelling, with sounds that clash, ripple, and hum in ways that stick in your head. Off kilter rhythms, distorted loops, and fragile melodic fragments combine into something unpredictable and raw entirely her own. Each listen leaves traces you cannot quite shake.
(3. Soborgnost is a London based hardware tangle twisting sci fi dance punk, vaporwave, minimal wave, disco dub, industrial, proto house, drone, and noise into relentless, glitchy loops. Samplers, warped analogue textures, cassette tape manipulation, shortwave radio, and harsh noise devices collide over chuggy lo fi beats and post punk basslines. The music is rhythmic, playful, and rough hewn, sounding like dub mixed with a malfunctioning analogue future. It is tactile, weird, and immersive in a way that makes you want to move while wondering what is about to happen next.
Arrive for doors! (7pm), Music starts immediately. Noise without warning. No easing in.
