What happens when metal stops following the rules?

CKRAFT takes heavy music somewhere unexpected, blending technical precision, improvisation and avant-garde experimentation into a sound that challenges what metal can be.

Not easy to define. Definitely not easy to ignore.

COME EARLY. CATCH THEM LIVE. SUPPORT THE SCENE.

Echoes of Earth (@echoesofearthfestival) brings a rare moment to our ground with the phenomenal Shigeto (@__shigeto) Live Ensemble. A performance sitting at the intersection of jazz improvisation and electronic architecture, this is layered in rich rhythmic texture & will transform the Analogue Room into a cove for the night. With Shigeto’s sound existing somewhere between restraint and release, their sound is immersive, intricate, and deeply human.

Supporting them is Hello Sir No Gin , a live electronic act powered by the minds of Azaan Khan (@azaankhan1988) and Shantam Khanna (@shantamkhanna), where the composed contours meets experimentation and melody finds the deeper pulse.

After that, Rafiki (@rafikisounds) takes over the Main Room with an Echoes of Earth pre-party, building a set with a cadenced lilt and that unmistakable groovy tone he carries along with him.

Two rooms, one frequency. Shifting, breathing, and alive. Come early, stay late, and let the sound move through you. by @gatecrashindia
