Back after another sold out show; this time we bring some of Bristol's finest bass-heavy and left-field selectors to Crofters; headed up by Pressure Domes head-honcho, Yushh. Supported by Kahter [Swamp81], Sentient [Foundation Audio] & Wallace [Sudo Sound].

YUSHH

Since her debut release in 2019, Yushh’s music has found a home on vital UK dance music labels such as Rhythm Section, All Centre and Well Street Records. Her debut EP Look Mom No Hands, released on Wisdom Teeth in February 2023, was tipped by publications such as Resident Advisor and Juno, and inspired comparisons to Peverelist (Crack Magazine), Aphex Twin, and Ikonika (The Quietus).

By this point, her dubbed-out, atmospheric compositions are unmistakable. Focusing primarily on sound system-indebted low ends and phantasmic melodic details, they give the illusion of comprising infinite layers of sound; no eight-bar mimicking the last as if we’re listening to her experiment in real time. Her obsession with sound design is palpable, and has elsewhere manifested in spellbinding live sets played alongside the likes of Minor Science and Wordcolour.

Alongside these production endeavours, she holds a residency on infamous Bristol broadcasting station, Noods Radio, through which she showcases her own imprint, Pressure Dome, and has hosted the likes of Hassan Abou Alam, Kiernan Lavaeux and Less-O. As well her intricate curation of homegrown, emerging talent, Pressure Dome enriches the local scene through unmissable
parties played by the likes of Voam mainstays Pariah and Rhyw, New York’s DJ Python and Nervous Horizon’s Ehua.

Yushh’s own DJ career has taken her all round Europe, and has seen her share bills with Livity Sound legends Pinch and Hodge, and other trusted names such as Overmono and Simo Cell. A recent Crack Magazine mix featured an array of Pressure Dome originals as well as her own remixes and myriad inspirations; and was named ‘Mix Of The Day’ by Resident Advisor, who described it as “ultra-deep, plenty dubby, percussively unpredictable and surprisingly intricate”. Via these myriad outlets, Yushh is carving out a distinct space for her weird, wonky sound; at times drawing on influences across the hardcore continuum, and at others offering a gentle, contemplative respite. One thing is certain, though: her music’s mind-bending capacity remains
consistently intact.

SENTIENT

London-based dubstep and experimental bass music producer & DJ, Sentient, has carved himself a niche in bass music with genre-spanning soundscapes that don’t conform to the boundaries of electronic music.

Driven by his intense desire to create new music, Sentient is constantly experimenting with sound, pattern and technique to create music that leans away from where you expect to be taken.

Inspired by horror game soundtracks with heavy, crushing atmospheres, and his love of classical and hardcore music, Sentient’s distinctive sound fuses these influences resulting in a mesmerising blend of gloomy and immersive sonic landscapes that aim to challenge the norm.

Signed to Bristol-based Foundation Audio (Chad Dubz, Teffa, Somah, Quasar, Kursa) as well as QEONE, Dub Colony, WobWob!, ENDZ, Locus Sound and LDH Records, and with a monthly radio show on Mode London, Sentient continues to establish himself as a new sound in the underground music scene. His mixes are a journey through the subterranean depths of bass music, showcasing his intricate production skills and fearless experimentation with sound design.

With a monthly radio show, an ever-expanding discography of innovative physical and digital releases and a signature sound that sets him apart from the rest, Sentient is a pioneering force in the underground bass music scene.
