Having debuted as collaborators for a sell-out Bristol show this February, hyperglitch pioneers glitch.cool and post-club brats Realist Alive join forces again for the Birmingham return leg. Melding the tastes of both collectives, placeless computer music pushed to its outer edges of breakage and beauty alongside a Bristolian attitude of generic destructiveness, May 16 is a demonstration of electronic music pushed to its stammering edge of creativity and abrasion.Logic Lost - based in Jakarta, Logic Lost is a producer who pairs the pummeling nature of both techno and metal. Arriving in the UK to tour his most recent record, Disposable Gods, released with grotty Bristol mavericks Avon Terror Corps, LL incarnates a sound where techno is pushed to its most simultaneously industrial and hypnotic limits. Deploying both traditional instrumentation and computational sound shredded to the point it resembles helicopter blades and toppling ruins, he maintains effectively the entrancement of music built for dancefloors, while colouring it with a hellishness and anarchy. This is part of Logic Lost's intentional disruption, to redraw techno as the mythos of a world where deities can be stripped and revealed for the hollowness. They debut in Birmingham as part of a UK tour. Purely not an opportunity to miss.
祐曦 Yau Hei [live] - 祐曦 Yau Hei is a producer, vocalist and DJ whose work counterposes deconstructed club, trance and avant-garde composition. Based in Bristol, they debut in Birmingham following 2025's 軀殼 VESSEL EP. Balancing hyperactive, splattered drums, rooted in post-club's stripping back of dancefloor sonics, with screeching, busy sounds in the upper register, they place reflective vocals over the tap of instrumentals simultaneously euphoric and abrasive. Trance, trap and noise all arise as influences, all contributing to 祐曦 Yau Hei's building of sonic worlds that do not belong to the human world, spaces of arboraceous magic and celestial ethereality. They debut in Brum off Bristol shows for legendary promoters like Psychotherapy Sessions, as well as regular shows across both Britain and Asia.
Silver Waves - straddling a slo-mo deconstructed club, metallic ambient and expansive sound art, Silver Waves is an underheard fixture of Bristol's electronic avant-garde. 2025's Aninstar EP, released on Illegal Data, saw the careful distillation and honing of sound Silver Waves had tinkered at for decade. Interweaving exploratory pulses of isolated brass and oblique, angelic voices, with industrial, stuttering percussion and supersubtle arpeggiation, Silver Waves conjures unique worlds, sites of desolation into which peek heavenliness, music peppered by sensitivity and violence. May 16 sees their Birmingham debut, coming off recent shows played alongside Machinegirl, Stolen Velour and jb glazer.
Thorjn - When Thorjn first played Realist x gc in February, it seemed their 2025 album Through the Crystal Window was the culmination of a period of creativity, a singular statement incorporating IDM, new age and hyperglitch that in totum declared Thorjn as a fully-fledged producer, capable of generating a sonic universe entirely his own, distinct from inevtiable influence. Some months later, it seems Through the Crystal Window was merely the point of departure for a period of extreme productivity. December saw the NOVOPANGEA EP, where Thorjn plumbs the potentiality of glitch music aside a computationally-driven noise. He released Somewhere this March, demonstrating a more ruminative, lo-fi edge to his previously perfectly polished sound. Thorjn arrives to Birmingham as part of a multi-date national tour, celebrating the Somewhere album, and refining his startling live set.
juha. - glitch.cool prodigy juha. has quietly been one of the more exceptional voices in the recent years of weird electronics. Their debut full-length, 2023's unreason and empty space saw juha. stretching ambient to its most apocalyptic regions whilst retaining an urgent intimacy. Their music nonetheless pairs this orchestral sublimity with the swing of glitchwise drum patterns borrowed from hip-hop and the spectrum of UK bass music. juha. debuts in Birmingham as they ramp up for the release of a second album on glitch.cool, The Fires This Time, a step forward into a legitimately majestic, interpersonal music, politicized and otherwordly. Less predominantly ambient, this new record sees hyperglitch in its most operatic form - a tapestry of decay and hope - all conjured through a music that eats up previous genericity and builds anew something that was before us all along. juha.'s performance is accompanied by live visuals from glitch.cool co-founder sunnk
