PS
31.1.26–> for the first cab home for the year we’re cruising into a puritanically LIVE event that skirts the edges of music you know, love and have never heard before. Over at CC HQ we are still pinching ourselves that the kernel of the eve should be Artificial (a.k.a Nicole Skeltys), an artist who has released across the temporal and aural spectrum. We’ve experienced her projects as feeling out liminal sounds; serenely staunch IDM, acidic boppers and tinkling jingles to have you twirling into the early morning. You may have crossed paths with her music under the guise of B(if)tek […]

Lawson Flats
Liquid Architecture and Perth Festival present a lens to Asia-Pacific’s unrulier sound currents. The program traces a line from conceptual composition to scorched-earth noise praxis to the outer edges of contemporary rap. From Yogyakarta arrives Aditya Pandu Wijaya, a key figure in Indonesia’s noise vanguard and the force behind Bergegas Mati, his harsh-noise vehicle known for its eroding, heat-warped extremity. Pandu’s networked practice spans global collaborations, split releases, raw-collage digital art and his cassette-driven imprint Gerpfast Records, which has quietly become a clearing house for scenes that refuse to align – shoegaze, hardcore, metal, electronica and the vast detritus between. […]

We honour and acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people as Traditional Owners of […]
