Alexander Tucker has been around for a bit - whether making his unique take on acid-drenched folk psychedelia (under his birth name or as part of Grumbling Fur), face-melting modular techno / cavernous drone as MICROCORPS (or as part of NONEXISTENT or Brood X Cycles), collaborating with ghosts of Keith Collins and Derek Jarman or even illustrating his experimental comic book 'Enitity Reunion' (take a breath) - Alexander always brings something powerful and other-wordly to the table, dragging listeners into alien worlds that feel comforting and gentle or at times, can be quite terrifying and rattle the very essence of the soul

Nika Son released one of the best albums of the last few years - 2024's 'ASLOPE' on the V I S label (more on that in a sec). ASLOPE is an uncategorisable avant-garde opus that bounces around the stereo field in a way that twists and crawls between your synapses and rearranges the mind for it's duration - as a musician, sound artist and DJ, Nika's work is consistently suprising and engaging, framing familiar sounds in a way that's oftentimes impossible to place

Nina is one half of the team responsible for the ever-reliable V I S label and is a resident / key figure at Hamburg's legendary Golden Pudel venue (alongside Nika). As a DJ, Nina weaves together ambient, dark-drone and industrial curios into harmoniously rich and physically-imposing tapestries of sound, which embezzle their way into the imagination of the listener before occasionally seismic-shifting into percussive and exhilarating body music

in support is follically-deprived heuristic selector Sensitivity Sound Program >> playing a selection of vinyl to warm up the CGC scoops and soundtrack yet another lysergic A/V experiment
