A pre-solstice special, featuring..

Leafcutter John has performed and collaborated widely, including as part of mercury-nominated band Polar Bear, and solo at places like Jarvis Cocker’s meltdown and Planet Mu raves. His discography is all over the place, from the experimentalism of Housebound Spirit, to the folk-infused Forest and the Sea – the latter containing “Seba” which James Acaster named in his top nine essential tracks. John moved up to Sheffield a few years ago and quickly fell in love with climbing, come and hear the influence of gritstone on his sound.

Tante Verte is a new collaboration between Robyn Haddon, DS and Eye Measure, bringing together live vocals, electronics and code. So new we don’t have a video from them yet but considering the diverse and dizzy heights of their individual careers, this is one to look forward to.

Peter K Rollings and his Experimental Sonic Machines is a post-punk sci-fi mechanical musician from the future. He’ll be bringing his handmade instruments and mechanisms up from Lincoln, hopefully including his robot drummer Ernie. It’s hard to get across how wonderful this is in words, maybe just go and watch this four minute documentary on Peter’s work:

Epiploke are pattern club residents and algorave influencers Heavy Lifting (Lucy) and Yaxu (Alex) collaborating on shifting, handmade, from-scratch live coded dance music, with inspirations from ancient greek metre and carnatic rhythms. Here’s a moment from their last performance at pattern club:
