Germ Lattice are a Norwich based trio, composed of members Joe Barton, Mickey Donnelly, and Louie Rice. Their 2024 release Gipping Through the Ages presents the band’s structured, repetitive & linear tracks built around drums, bass, and synth with deliberately abstract vocals, which draw as much from folk traditions and the broader east Anglian landscape as they do from our fragmented modern world. Their novel use of microphones and live tape processing add a dynamism to the music where elements mask each other or the overdriven meters suggest the whole thing is on the brink of collapse.Their novel use of microphones and live tape processing add a dynamism to the music where elements mask each other or the overdriven meters suggest the whole thing is on the brink of collapse.
Gentle Stranger are a London based trio, composed of Tom Hardwick-Allan, Alex McKenzie, and Joshua Barfoot. They are ‘a band who are not so much without a genre, but operating at a level where the very idea of genre is anathema; they make music purely as is required’ (The Quietus). Existing across both music and performance, their most recent release was 2023’s Inner Winter. They have collaborated with artists including Agnes Scherer and Adam Christensen.
Meat Strap are a duo from South London, in which Delia Detritus plays drums, and Max K Weaver plays electric guitar. Spawned from many years of private improvisation and close friendship, their sound is a constantly shifting thing - from violent spasms of ecstatic noise, to wide and shivering ambiences, to interlocking grids of elastic rhythms. Their debut album Live! At Cafe OTO was released in January 2025. The band’s name means girl-dick.
Adam Gallagher is an artist and writer from and based in London who works mainly through performance and publishing. He works against the performative artist ego; disassembling its reliance upon the myopic context, history and industry of art to produce new meaning. He also works in collaboration with Curtly Thomas on his music and performance act clubcouture, and with Ruth Angel Edwards on The Unwelcome Collection, a collaborative performance spectacle.
George Lynch is a writer based in London. Recent publications of her work include: Oxford Poetry, Fieldnotes Journal, Sticky Fingers Publishing, Datableed Journal, Montez Press Radio. Her work involves performance — she has given performances internationally, including at Cafe Oto and Galerie Molitor (Berlin) and produced numerous performance events at The Horse Hospital, including Teachers (2023), Stems (2023), and prayer (2024). She was a recipient of the 2023 Fieldnotes Development Grant. She directed a play, 12april, which opened at the CCA Glasgow in November 2024. She also facilitates workshops — recently with the Scottish Artists Union (SAU), TACO! (Thamesmead), and 54 The Gate.
Jackson Burton works with scores, text pieces and action based performances that address class and other things, often in collaboration with Ash Reid, sometimes solo. Recent output has included performances at Cafe OTO, The Fruit Market Edinburgh and Hundred Years Gallery and a recent release on Infant Tree in 2023 with Adam Bohman, Sophie Sleigh-Johnson and Sue Lynch.
Mr Aka Amazing is the moniker of artist Duane Warner. Rooted in experimental hip-hop and R&B, he released the 7” Illegibility Mistakable in 2024. Duane makes his music - both solo and collaboratively - at the Shepherds Bush arts project 54 The Gate, an arts and resource centre for people with learning disabilities.
Luisa D. Rozo crossfades between recordings from her lifetime’s auto-ethnographic researches and generated sounds as an internet fan-girl, in order to create landscapes and infrastructures that are weaved with her voice explorations of experimental Latin American folk song and rnb heartbreak melancholia.
Hannah Taverner is a performer, actor, and artist living in South London. They work with performance and sound. Recent performances have been shown at Matt’s Gallery (London, UK), Wysing Art Centre (Cambridge, UK), PRIMARY (Nottingham, UK) and The Horse Hospital (London, UK). They work with young people and alternative educational programs such as The Complete Works.
