Born 1969. Died 1909. UK-based DJ Rrose has found a unique niche in the worldwide techno underground while remaining equally situated in the experimental and avant-garde artistic communities. His tracks incorporate ideas from early drone and minimalist music as prominently as they do the history of dance music. Whether as a DJ, live performer, or producer, Rrose crafts sonic ecosystems with patience and attention to detail, allowing the music to unfold gradually while tapping into deep, uncharted recesses of both the mind and body.

SATURDAY 12/13 - PLEAD, D STRANGE, FRAIL808

DJ Plead is a Melbourne/Naarm based producer making unique club music. Drawing on his Lebanese background, DJ Plead makes tough, functional, and percussive tracks. His unique style references the rhythms, scales and timbres of Lebanese pop and traditional Lebanese wedding music, blending them with contemporary RnB, Club and other dance styles.

Choosing experimentation over sleep most nights, D. Strange works with an explorative approach and an unhealthy obsession with texture. Strange forms a warped world of cerebral and gritty techno. Indebted to the pioneers of Detroit and Chicago techno as much as the weirdo punk ethos in the midwest in the present day, the sound is raw energy imploding and emerging anew...endlessly.

frail808 is a chicago-based dj, hardware act, producer, instrumentalist, and audio engineer. a classically trained percussionist, she has been producing and performing electronic music since her mid teens, inspired by first-wave dubstep, drone music, and releases from hyperdub and warp records. her roots as an experimental musician and performer have driven her to tirelessly experiment with new sounds and textures - frail808’s selections are wide and genre agnostic, with a unifying penchant for driving syncopated percussion, heavy sub bass, and yearning ambience.
