Victoria S Porter is a London musician and multimedia artist who performs under the alias Vanity Crystal. Drawing upon sampling, demystification and social deviance, her work has been presented at venues and festivals including Cafe OTO, Iklectik, Gallery46, VSSL and Supernormal Festival. She is a member of the bands Rubber and Traidora.

Both solo and as one half of Voices Radio residents Repetitive Strain, Porter has spent a decade curating radio and events with carefully-woven anti-genre approach. Her unboundaried work as a broadcaster has appeared on platforms including Balamii, Refuge Worldwide, Resonance Xtra and NTS.

Next up, we’re back at @avaloncafebermondsey on Saturday, 7th November.

Tickets go on sale today at 5PM via Dice & RA.

See you there ✌🏻

Lineup:

NEXUS (B4MBA + MOOKI6) — LIVE

NEXUS is the project of B4MBA and MOOKI6, members of Barcelona-based Pan-African multidisciplinary Jokkoo Collective.

Born as an answer to a collapsing world, their sound is rooted in ancestral rhythms and deep, dark frequencies, drawing from punk, industrial, dancehall, noise and trap. Exploring the tension between darkness and illumination, each set becomes a sonic offering — chaotic, cathartic and fiercely alive.

KEEPSAKES — DJ

Keepsakes, the alias of British-New Zealand producer and DJ James Barrett, has been a distinctive voice in techno the past 10+ years. His powerful, menacing yet often playful productions have appeared on Boys Noize Records, Turbo Recordings, Perc Trax, MORD, KAOS/OAKS and more.

TRSSX — LIVE

Co-founder of Glasgow club EXIT and head of Wodawater, TRSSX brings industrialised techno forms and modular signals to their live sets.

CHEZA LUCINA — DJ

London-based producer, DJ and curator blending Afro, Caribbean, Latinx and UK underground sounds, from soca and dembow to jungle, garage and dubstep.

SKINTERN — LIVE

Collaborative noise rock project built on blood, spectacle and excess. Equal parts band and performed violence.

VANITY CRYSTAL — DJ

London-based sound artist producing machinic transgendered wormhole sound with an anti-genre approach to her sets.

TOOTHTAXI — DJ

Tileboi and Yellowcar’s relentless B2B project, with appearances at HTBX, Unfold, Sextou and more. Expect to sweat.

Playing with Traidora this year has been nothing short of a revelation for me. I’m so lucky that my favourite band in London asked me to be their drummer :) here’s a lil clip of Desolación from Bad Bonn Kilbi festival last weekend in Switzerland #drummer #drummersofinstagram #transmusician #femaledrummer #femalemusician

BRING YOUR PAPER. Multi Story is an accessible venue in the car park above Peckhamplex - a 15-20 minute walk or short bus from South London Gallery. Two people have a romantic evening using a Riso machine as a table, for some reason. Image from (I think) 1989-90.
