Splore 2021 was special. We partied with freedom and an awareness that we may have been the only festival on the planet celebrating the joy of life, the love of music, the comradery of friends and family. If you're out there in the rest of the world watching us, please find some hope in our celebration. When you can party again I'm sure there will be a huge release and boundless love. Stay strong and be kind.

It is said, in certain circles, that the Dastardly Bounder is a cad and a scallywag. This is true. The Dastardly Bounder ignores the fundamental mores of propriety.

When he takes over a sound system the Dastardly Bounder plays a fantastical funktronic sound, brimming with ear twisters and gob-smacking grooves. The music he chooses for his DJ sets feature hints of house, dabs of disco, and touches of techno. Actually we have no idea how to describe what he plays…

BIO:
Beyond The Struttopshere is a sonic collaboration between two DJs channelling their considerable musical production experience and boundless love of cosmic chugging dark disco. Their debut EP ‘New Frontier’ was released on Discolypso Recordings in 2020 and found much acclaim among Andrew Weatherall and Sean Johnston’s A Love From Outer Space online fraternity, also appearing on Juan Mclean’s (DFA Records) contribution to Tim Sweeney’s Beats In Space mix series. This propelled the duo to new heights, leading to highly lauded releases on esteemed labels such as Mélopée Records, Astrolead Recordings, Discolypso, In Dark We Trust, Emerald & Doreen and X-PRESSINGS, and DJ gigs at Glastonbury’s Rabbit Hole, Secret Garden Party, Noisily Festival and Berlin’s infamous KitKat Club among many others. Beyond The Struttosphere’s music is now making sonic reverberations around the globe, hitting the dancefloors of Burning Man, House of Yes NYC, ADE, Fusion Festival, Sisyphos Berlin, and notching up remixes from notable legends of the scene including Shubostar, Rebolledo, Rigopolar, Tegel Boys, Vongold, Badknife, James Rod, Julian Sanza, Roliva, K-Effect and Mufti. The cosmonauts are frequently immersed in the studio, with live guitar now a mainstay of their productions. Their trademark sound combines fat chugging basslines with reverbed guitar riffs, syncopated arpeggiators, cosmic synths, vintage vocal samples, Italo drum fills and psychedelic 303 sequences. Check out their guest mixes on Gouranga, Mélopée, SXDNS, In Dark We Trust, Counterrasim and Something Spaecial and catch them DJ’ing this summer on the UK festival circuit. Strap in for an interstellar journey Beyond The Struttosphere!
