HARRGA
Harrga is a band formed in Bristol in 2017 by Miguel Prado (Nzʉmbe) and Dali de Saint Paul (EP/64, Viridian Ensemble, The Sound Cupboard,DSC). In May 2019, they released Héroïques Animaux de la Misère, on Avon Terror Corps, in honour of those who burn the borders & keep indelible marks, glossolalia and xenoglossia. Diaspora of the future. Harrga means A Burn in the Moroccan Darija dialect, and also recalls the term harragas, which refers to migrants who burn their ID papers and seek asylum in Europe. The album is explicitly framed as a tribute to these asylum seekers, bearing a frenzied urgency which refuses the listener a comfortable position, with an intensity to match the similar combination of political and sonic radicalism of Moor Mother, who makes a brief contribution to the final track “À Vif”. In May 2020, they published “Femmes d’Intérieur” on Takuroku, (Café Oto digital label) considering this time domestic abuse and exploring tropes of femininity.
HELENA CELLE
Helena Celle is a multidisciplinary artist from Glasgow. Her work is predicated on a participatory representation of the imaginal through sound, image, and language. She currently produces a weekly sound art broadcast, supported by patrons
BIRTHMARK
Birthmark is a producer, DJ and vocalist from the UK, using an experimental approach to fuse an ominous undercurrent of UK dance music with the bittersweet bleakness of goth and post punk. Drawing from a wide range of musical influences, his leftfield blend of ambient voids, bass heavy electronica and techno incorporates samples from PlayStation game, Jpop, and 80s dance hall. Building an evolving sonic landscape of obscure drum machine workouts, dubwise effects and emotionally charged, confessional real world lyrics, Birthmark frankly explores mental health struggles, as well as the complexity and simplicity of everyday life.
DJ PROTEUS
Rounding off the evening til 3am with experimental electronics, underground soundscapes, industrial and visceral beautiful noise. Proteus explores underground musical histories. Curating a patchwork pattern of sounds, brought together by a love of movement and dance.
