HIDE live

HIDE are an electronic duo based in Chicago. The pair create dark and heavy sample-based compositions using a combination of self-sourced field recordings and various pop culture and media references. Their music is textured, minimal, and powerful, giving raw vulnerability a chance to unfurl. Their work is honest, confrontational, powerful and thought-provoking.

HIDE’s third album, Interior Terror (Dais Records, 2021) further abandons traditional concepts of song structure in favor of splintered rhythms and fevered, immediate release. Expanding on previous themes of autonomy and empowerment, Interior Terror addresses and questions the corporeal and immaterial body in a physical and metaphysical sense. Turning to the dread inside, reflecting on the world around us, HIDE gives voice to the power of destruction as a catalyst for hope, and to the collective experiences of those who’ve come before us as a wellspring of our own power. Raw vocal delivery of mantra-like prose issued forth yields a raging, plaintive wail that lulls, mocks, questions, proclaims and decries. A dearth of collected field recordings give way to more fluid arrangements while retaining a scathing urgency. The result is minimal, spacious, and jarring; a distant knocking grown into the pulse of a hypnotic dirge, drones emerge from shards of decomposed sound, bending, seething their way through your body.

DRUG SEARCHING DOGS live

The DRUG SEARCHING DOGS mark their territory by surpassing the capacities of your fav club’s PA. Drawing their inspiration from Gabber, Harsh Noise and Punk the trio blasts an amalgam of heavily distorted walls of bass, screetching highs and razor-edge vocals. With deafening barks against all oppression, the war on drugs will soon end.

MORAST live

Morast is the electronics solo-project of viennese artist and musician Moritz Morast, that explores the melting continuum of noise, deconstructed rhythmns and free-improvisation. Coming from a background as a designer of musical electronics and his activities in the viennese free-improv-scene as a member of the free-jazz-noise-band FS Massaker, Morast combines approaches from sequenced electronics with the immediacy and unpredictability of hardcore improvisation. With the music created in real-time, his live-performances are a intense and cathartic spectacle, resulting in a multifaceted swirl of tribal noise, introversive ambiences and danceable industrial, based on giddy feedback loops, cut up by shattered percussion and heavy metal distortion.
