The second of our two-day collaboration in London with the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) brings both the fiery exaltation of the club and the feral quality of DIY noise shows together for an explosive and body-rattling night.

Naming their genre Primal-core, Indonesian duo Kuntari combine trumpet with tons of variation from traditional Indonesian rhythms, resulting in an abstraction of metal’s cutting intensity and mathematics filtered through dark ambience.

The duo of Nídia and Valentina Magaletti blend their rhythmic expertise and connection through intricate beats and infectious melodies — the former’s hypnotic fusion of Afro-Portuguese rhythms and the latter’s dynamic chimera of traditional and experimental methods — in a multi-layered collaboration, immersing listeners in a world where rhythm reigns supreme and movement is inevitable.

A fixture of London’s eclectic music underground, Loraine James approaches her craft with voracious curiosity and a peerless style. Her wide exposure to jazz, electronica, UK drill, and grime is reassembled through her intuitive skills and intimate, almost diaristic approach, resulting in an evolving, richly textured body of work.

A collision of DJ Danifox, DJ Firmeza, and DJ N* Fox, O Ghettão’s enthralling mix of the freshest in afro-deep-house, kuduro, and minimal povera jazz is a polyrhythmic powerhouse filled with mystic reverence, genre-blending prowess, and an unparalleled knack for turning even the most experimental swing into a home run floor-filler.
