Triple bill of radical sonic experimentalists shelling down in Leeds. Expect thrashing industrial intensity, hypnagogic skitter rhythms and garbled soundscapism. Electronic heaviness for the body and the head...////////////
HARRGA (‘a burn’ in the Moroccan Darija dialect) is a duo formed by producer and philosopher Miguel Prado and experimental vocalist and improviser Dali de Saint Paul. Mixing uncompromising poetics and politics in multiple languages, and deploying singular, amorphous noise-design, they conjure an anomalous vision of contemporary industrial music. Harrga’s critically-acclaimed debut album 'Héroïques Animaux de la Misère', released via Avon Terror Corps, was a meditation on the horror of border crossings, while follow up 'Femmes d’Intérieur', released via Cafe OTO's Takuroku label, explores violence towards women. Moor Mother released Harrga’s track 'Urban Blues' on her own label BlackMas5 Records in 2022.

SILVER WAVES is the project of Dylan Mallett, an experimental musician and producer based in Bristol, UK. Originally established as an outlet to explore abstracted narratives and sounds derived from the unconventional use of traditional instrumentation, the presentation of unrestrained emotion delivered through obscure sonics remains a common theme throughout Silver Waves’ music. Previous releases have landed on forward thinking labels such as Portals Editions and Illegal Data, whilst Silver Waves has presented their incendiary live show across the UK and Europe on bills with Wolf Eyes, Pharmakon and aya, alongside performance collaborations with Klein and EP/64.
