Broken rhythms and bass pressure from the near-future.

Terra Incognita makes its return for another journey into uncharted territory with a multinational eclectic expedition.

Bruce made an impression quickly when his first releases appeared on highly respected UK record labels Livity Sound and Hessle Audio. The Bristol-based artist represents a new generation of producers drawing on experimental influences to create thrilling new variations of soundsystem music. As a DJ he takes a similar adventurous approach, moving with confidence and poise between shuddering low-end, crooked machine rhythms, thunderous drones and icy sound design. Twisting and turning but bound to a strong sense of narrative, Bruce’s style is unpredictable and utterly engrossing.

London’s DjRUM has been rolling out his own distinctive twist on the dubstep and garage template since 2010, standing apart from the crowd with a sound that is focused and fully formed. His uniqueness comes from his interlocking rhythms and meditative atmospheres, whether pushing the tempo up to embrace drum & bass influences or slowing to the edge of downtempo. His sound is refined, intelligent, and heavy where it counts.

Akiram En will be warming up the Studio X floor before DjRUM and Bruce, drawing on an impressive, diverse set of sonic tools to set the tone for a night of exploration. From gigs at Nachtdigital festival in Germany to sessions on Red Light Radio in the Netherlands, this rising Tokyo talent has already proven himself with recognition outside of Japan.

The Contact floor will be hosted by the CYK collective – a crew of self-proclaimed “house freaks” who organise high-quality parties in Tokyo. They’ll be playing host to a B2B set from Nikolajev and Linda Lazarov. How the latter will merge her modern take on new wave with the Estonian DJ’s claustrophobic acid influence will create another must-see moment with their sonic chemistry.
