We’re thrilled to host a night together with our sister Unsafe+Sounds to bring you one of UK’s finest – Iceboy Violet – and Vienna’s local support act same.

ICEBOY VIOLET live

Iceboy Violet is one of the key figures of the UK’s contemporary rap scene. Space Africa, Blackhaine, Loraine James, or aya – the list of their collaborators is long and testifies to their musical versatility. Iceboy Violet’s tracks are merging emotive, autotuned vocals with raw experimental club textures, ranging from drill to post-grime, tinges of warped pop, and sprays of ambient. Their lyrics offer a radical, abstract form of subjectivity – vulnerable, yet uncompromising -, providing a counter-narrative to the hyper-masculinity of the hip-hop scene. Their live-performance is confrontational, searching for personal and collective catharsis.
