>>>> NIK COLK VOID

Nik Colk Void is an experimental electronic artist and producer, best known as one half of DFA signings Factory Floor and as one-third of Carter Tutti Void alongside Cosey Fanni Tutti and Chris Carter (Throbbing Gristle / Chris & Cosey).

Void’s interests lie in the development of unconventional encounters with her tool of choice – be it voice, guitar or modular synthesizer – engaging in a new language using extended techniques and cut up sampling. Her execution of sound, united with her “demystification” approach unleashes a pragmatic imbalance allowing the creation of space for ‘mistakes’ paired with aleatoric composition. As a result, she blurs the lines of techno, ambient, avant-garde and noise into a new form.

>> FINLAY SHAKESPERE

Modular synth pop from the Bristol-based musician and engineer. Finlay Shakespeare is an artist that operates in two worlds of electronic music. As the founder of Future Sound Systems, Shakespeare engineers Eurorack modules (including a series based on Chris Carter’s device, The Gristleizer) and standalone synths such as the Brunswick. As an artist, he makes gritty, ’80s-leaning synth pop that sits somewhere between Factory Floor and Depeche Mode.
