===============================



Rrose

- DJ Set (US)



Detroit producer and DJ Rrose (EAUX) creates dark, perfectly designed and essentially queered techno. Swirling, foggy effects are layered top of high-and-wide-toned bleeping synth melodies that rise and fall with crisp, solid bass beats. The artist comes cloaked in mystery. She stands in the shadows on stage, going by he and she interchangeably – an implied interrogation of gender norms and artistry. Her biography states “Born 1969. Died 1909”.



Octo Octa

- DJ Set (US)



Brooklyn's Octo Octa (100% SILK / Running Back) spins woozy late night house; her shimmering club-ready earworms have been keeping dancefloors pulsing since 2011. Octo Octa is known for her finely-tuned marriage of exquisite compositional flare and primal dance-floor functionality. She was recently invited to undertake a Red Bull Music Academy residency in Manhattan, and has played coveted gigs at Berlin's Panorama Bar, Frankfurt's Live At Robert Johnson, and Barcelona's Sonar Festival.



Horseplay

- DJ Set (GB)



Described by The Guardian as "Bristol's Best Gay Clubnight"; Horseplay is a art-disco-club with a positive vibe and a fine dusting of glitter and sleaze.



Steakhouse Live

- Steakhouse Live (Various)



Steakhouse Live is a London based artist-collective creating and supporting experimental risk-taking performance. Artists Daniel Oliver, Lucy Hutson and Oozing Gloop will perform short works



Knickerbocker

- DJ Set (GB)



Resident DJs aaronzimbra and Alex Lawless spin alternative pop and cuts of house that you might not hear elsewhere. The Yard (London) is their regular home.



johnsmith

- We Are All Made Of Stars (GB)



Channelling mountains, stars, slime mould and bacteria, john gets into drag as Mother Earth and tries on bodies from the cellular to the cosmic. We are all made of stars brings together lip sync, projection, live sound and skin to grapple with some overwhelming questions on a microscopic scale.





Project 0

- Native Instincts : Psychic Labours 3.0 (GB)



Alexandrina Hemsley and Jamila Johnson-Small together comment on the fallout from being black, mixed and female, making visible positions of otherness so that they will eventually no longer seem 'other'. O tries to talk about, and make visible, the awkward stuff of everyday oppression and to move on from this. Expect broken promises and a sea of assumptions. Rising doubt. Timeless dances that could only happen now, after all that happened before.
