Sounds both sludgy and hyperactive coalesce in DJ sets from Opium Hum. Afrodeutsche reinterprets her acclaimed releases with a new live A/V show in collaboration with Bhatoptics. Warsaw’s techno trailblazer Zamilska juggles winding rhythms over stuttering, caustic kicks. Giant Swan is notorious for their acerbic marriage of energised, aggressive dance music, quaking bass, and hypnotic electronic noise. MNNNKJDE is Mario de Vega and Hugo Esquinca, who present new work that traverses temporal disarray and intricate rhythmic patterns. Aquarian appears ahead of the release of his debut LP, The Snake That Eats Itself; his DJ sets venture through sinister breaks, feverish jungle, grimey drum and bass, and on through uncharted territory. Discwoman affiliate Akua is a Ghanaian-American DJ known for a boundary pushing sound, infusing old-school tracks and techniques with a vision for the dancefloors of the future.

Afrodeutsche, MNNNKJDE, and Aquarian are supported by SHAPE, which is cofunded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.
