Headfirst Editor's Pick
"The most deranged, ecstatic, snare drum solo of all time rolls back into town. This time the cult of Kiyasu has its own mini-festival with 9 hours of grinding electronic weirdness ft. Genderisthebastard’s wanton peddle abuse, pagan noise-hopera phenomenon Isn'tses + a whole host of Eggy Tapes-adjascent niceness/nastiness. God bless Sharp Noodle."
