“18+ event. Australian post-apocalyptic acid punk disco scuzzheads TFS are coming to the UK and Europe for the first time since 2019. For the last two years they've been holed up in a bush bunker pursuing their sonic experiments which have produced 2021's Deep States album, and feature film Goody Goody Gumdrops. Tropical Fuck Storm members Gareth Liddiard, Fiona Kitschin Erica Dunn and Lauren Hammel will be bringing their wild, destructive and unstoppable chaos to the Northern Hemisphere stages performing songs from A Laughing Death In Meatspace (2018), Braindrops (2019) and Deep States (2021).”

“Join DIY noise team PRRRRRT! to build a light-controlled drone synth that you can wear on your face. Play electronic facesirens by turning your head towards the sun, a flickering street lamp or a phone torch. Or gather around a fire at midnight for a synchronised face theremin dance ritual.”

“The synare was a staple in a lot of post punk, dub and disco production in the 70s through the 80s. You can hear it in loads of tunes by Joy Division, Scientist, The Cure, Depeche Mode, the iconic Jah Shaka sound system scene in the film Babylon(1980) and a tonne of disco tunes too. Once you start noticing the Synare hits you won’t stop finding them. Legend goes you could pick it up in 70s Argos for cheap. And now the original synares are selling for nearly £800”
