With some roots in South Africa and others in Hackney, Portugal and Lithuania, Larry Seftel is the author of the Seftel album. The songs are inexact measures of jealousy, lousy nights, bad dreams, self-loathing, boring lunches and half read books.  Arranged by Ghikas and Von Weizsacker of the Chap, their sincerity is twisted out of shape into something discomforting, slightly sleazy and also oddly relaxing.  The album is being released by Lo Recordings on the 27th of May.

Mille Plateaux / Blue Tapes / Organic Industries

Teruyuki Kurihara is a music producer and artist from Japan born in 1979. He started his electronic solo project Cherry in 2007 after playing in some bands. The Alex EP was released in 2009 by the Four: Twenty label based in Bristol. He has released more music on a number of labels, from home and abroad (including Blue Tapes and Organic Industries). 

He has spent time between 2012-2014 living and playing live in Australia, Thailand, England, and Germany, experiences that inspired him to begin his art practice. 

His style has been described as ’marvellous and elaborate lines in minimal design’. He has been part of group exhibitions in Berlin, before returning to Japan and making illustrations for Tomoki Tamura’s Holic Trax.  In addition he has exhibited and made live paintings at festivals including Re:birth and Rural. He has recently been expanding his artistic horizons including both music and drawing art.

In 2020, he released Frozen Dust, a full-length album on Mille Plateaux inspired by nature, particularly the cycles of "destruction and creation"; characterised by industrial and experimental music cast in minimalist fashion.

数々のバンド活動を経て、2007年よりエレクトロミュージックを軸とするソロプロジェクト”Cherry”を始動。2009年、イギリス・ブリストルに拠点を置く優良エレクトロニックミュージックレーベル Four:Twenty からのリリースを皮切りに、国内外問わず楽曲をリリースする。精力的にライブ活動もこなす傍ら、2012年～2014年の2年弱をかけてオーストラリア、タイランド、イングランド、ドイツを巡り、旅の中で得たインスピレーションをもとに絵を描き始める。

綿密な線とミニマルなデザインが特徴のユーモアな作品は、ベルリンでギャラリーを運営するキュレーターの目に留まり、展示の機会を得る。帰国後はヨーロッパを拠点に置くTomoki Tamura 主宰のレコードレーベル HOLIC TRAX - MONOKLO シリーズのイラストを担当。また Re:birth Festival、rural Festival 等で作品の展示やライブペインティングを行うなど音楽活動をもとより、作家活動へも活躍の場を広げている。

Monsieur Pompier's Travelling Freakshow is a troupe like no other. A nightmarish cabaret steeped in the surreal, Monsieur Pompier makes music about inside-out cats, hedgehog swallowers and devious doctors.

Having existed primarily as a live entity since 2017, the Travelling Freakshow toured Europe extensively with their extremely unique live show which incorporates immersive performance art, audience participation and a litany of bizarre and beguiling costumes and masks depicting the characters in the songs.

The group's visual chaos is underpinned by Monsieur Pompier's manic music and storytelling approach to songwriting. Monsieur Pompier's Travelling Freakshow signed to Legendary US label Cleopatra Records in early 2021 with their debut album Teatime Terrors available to purchase both digitally and on vinyl from July 16th.

For over a decade, Jason Amm’s work as Solvent has neatly defied categorization. His music is too sweetly melodic for techno or acid, his compositions too fiendishly detailed for synth-pop. He was too steeped in the sounds of the ‘80s to participate in the incipient IDM scene; he was briefly lumped in with the short-lived electroclash movement, only to outlive it; he’s played “minimal wave” parties and goth clubs, indie-rock shows and techno all-nighters. But even as words fail in the face of Solvent’s music, its pleasures are anything but elusive.

Today, Zimbabwe-born Jason Amm lives in Toronto, ON, where he spends his time obsessively grappling with an outsized collection of vintage analog synthesizers, samplers, and sequencers. Solvent first materialized in 1997 with a string of singles and full-lengths (1998’s Solvent, 1999’s Solvently One Listens) on Amm’s own Suction Records, the Toronto-based label he founded with Lowfish’s Gregory DeRocher. The watershed release Solvent City (2001) on Berlin-based Morr Music introduced Amm’s sound to a wider audience, and Apples &amp; Synthesizers (2004) marked Solvent’s move to Ghostly International. Along with notable remixes of artists including Soft Cell, Alter Ego, and Adult., Solvent tracks have appeared on high-profile DJ mixes and seminal compilations.

Solvent’s most recent record on Ghostly International, 2010?s Subject to Shift, marks a turn for the darker as Amm embraces his love of the abrasive sounds of acid and industrial. And while a sinister tone or two now dances among Solvent’s sparkling hooks and bright streaks of synthesizer, and while Amm’s music drifts even further from accepted genre-specific reference points, Solvent’s sound has only deepened. After more than ten years of composing love songs for robots, Amm sounds like nothing more than himself.

A l'influence des pionniers de l'électro actuelle (Aphex Twin, Richie Hawtin, Abe Duque, Andrew Weatherall pour ne citer qu'eux...), Marion aime décloisonner les genres et les sonorités. 
Des beats technos, des lignes de basses saturées, des instrus déstructurées, des nappes menaçantes, une tonalité dancefloor, des rythmes groovy. Voilà quelques ingrédients que Marion aime distiller.

Le Flan de Sang are a psychedelic sleazerock band hailing from Bergen Norway and were spawned sometime after the year 2000, memories get vague… First noticed in 2009 by Einar Engelstad from Bergens Tidende who described them as a band with unique flair and classified them as a glam-prog band with hints of black metal – sounding, mildly put, different.
The music they play is about as varied as the members that form the quintet: 3 homegrown Norwegian rockers, a siren-like classical cellist and a Las-Vegas-worthy kinky Tranny with hyperactivity issues. The individual’s influences are dropped into a cauldron for a cackling witch to produce spells of music and stories about sex, religion, trolls, insanity, dystopia, zombies, drugs and just a little more sleaze for good measure.
The result is a strange and unique blend of rock/metal, ska, pop, glam, punk and chamber music with a hint of cabaret – the show is an exploration of dirty fun delivered in a noisy yet accessible format. Be sure to catch them live, the evening is an unforgettable stripping of barriers. If you’re into creative madness then Le Flan de Sang is the band for you.
