Gash! Raising Funds For The Rio Cinema

Come one come all! Dark Dancing all night long at The Rio Cinema 🖤

Thanks to The Quietus for the shoutout 🥰 advance tickets availiable here:

https://www.riocinema.org.uk/movie/gash-raising-funds-for-the-rio-cinema/

We’ll be taking over The Rio for a special fundraising event, a late night goth club, photography exhibition and film screening.

All proceeds from the event will go to keeping the doors open of this beloved cultural institution, and any donations will be received with gratitude!

With DJs in Screen One and at the bar, underground music documentaries in Screen Two, a photography exhibition sprawling through the corridors and foyer, featuring Derek Ridgers iconic documentation of subculture and nightlife, Yasmine Akim’s beautiful work following the essential London club INFERNO, and the Kaos Archive.

Stage Invasion! Our DJs and dancers will take over the Screen One stage. Artists from the legendary clubs Kaos, Ziber and Fold bring their dark energies to the fore, joined by the inimitable Katie Shannon (NTS/So Low/etc), the outstanding Wes Baggaley, and the hard bitten Gash! Residents, Ruby Quick (Muscle Up) and Proteus.

Our late late night cinema will be screening Kevin Hegge’s Tramps, documenting the birth of the New Romantic era, as well as Visions of Excess - a crucial documentation of performance work by Bruce La Bruce, Ron Athey, Lee Adams and more.

Proteus and Ruby Quick organise fundraiser for The Rio Cinema with late night DJs, documentaries & exhibitions of subcultures

Tomorrow at FOLD 🖤🖤🖤

Futur.Shock Live Experimental Series presents: Barbus

Futur.Shock presents their new experimental programme, Futur.Shock Live. An evening of sonic, audiovisual, experimental excursions.

This exciting edition takes a darker, bass-heavy path as we present 5 acts operating on the edge of bleak/beautiful sonic boundaries.
We have none other than Mick Harris, original drummer from Na**lm Death, operating under his solo alias SCORN, bringing new levels of low-frequency intensity. Accompanying SCORN on visual duties is Combat Recording's Stormfield, improvising custom-made murky sickly-polychromatic optics.

Switching things to a faster, polyrhythmic tempo will be UKAEA, delivering their tribal, scorched-earth dystopian future vision that resonates with current times more than ever. The set WILL FEATURE live improvisational string work from the Avant / classical violinist Agathe Max.

We witness a new collaboration between our very own multidisciplinary artist Karolina Magnusson-Murray and electronic improvisationist and audiovisual-ist SWARMM.

Tying up the evening will be Proteus, spinning experimental electronics, underground soundscapes, industrial and visceral beautiful noise..

Tickets on the door £20

Unfortunately, due to one of the artists becoming ill - tomorrow's Futur.Shock event has had to be postponed. The event will now take place on May 12th, hope to see you all there 🖤

We are saddened to announce that we will be postponing tomorrow’s Futur.Shock LIVE event.

Unfortunately, some of the artists involved have been taken ill and so will be unable to perform this time around. All is not lost, however, as we will be moving this event to Thursday the 12th May, in only a few weeks' time. We will be spending all of this new time preparing and making this event even more special, with renewed energy and force.

The line-up will stay the same, aside from LUXUL who will be performing at a later Futur.Shock LIVE in a few months' time. Listen out for the announcement.

The 12th of May will feature SCORN, aka Mick Harris from Na**lm Death, with Stormfield on visuals. UKAEA and Agathe Max will deliver a dystopian highly-charged performance. Whilst Karolina Magnusson Murray and LIAM NOONAN will perform their new absurdist collaboration, with the event brought to a close with a DJ Set by Proteus.

Therefore, you still purchase tickets for Futur.Shock LIVE on the 12th May, here: https://www.fold.london/tickets/futurshocklivebarbus

Futur.Shock Live Experimental Series presents: Barbus 💙

Lovely write up from The Quietus, about the forthcoming Futur.Shock event at FOLD.

"It's over a decade since we last saw Mick Harris' Scorn project live, at Supersonic 2011. It was an astonishing, crunching set that our John Doran reviewed thus: "he even manages to end on the theme music to Trailer Park Boys as heard through a Leyland James Kirby filter without sounding daft", proclaimed it a "joy to dance to" and one of the best sets of the festival that year. We're pleased to say that Scorn will be back at London club Fold for Barbus, the first in their new midweek experimental series, Futur.Shock Live. This takes place on Thursday 21st April and features Scorn accompanied by visuals from Combat Recording's Stormfield, the ever-hectic tQ favourites UKAEA joined by Agathe Max, and Luxul, who mixes vocals with viola. There'll also be a new collaboration between Karolina Emily Magnusson-Murray and SWARMM, along with a DJ set from the excellent Proteus weaving it all together."

Get your tickets here, it's going to be a one of a kind eve.
Vast, beautiful, and aggressive intensity. 21.04.22.

Futur.Shock Live Experimental Series presents: Barbus

Outrageously excited for this.

A beautiful and challenging evening. Bass heavy sounds, industrial worlds and catastrophic echoes.

An all time hero of mine, Mick Harris will be performing under his iconic moniker SCORN. Dubbed out and harsh, industrial and shape-shifting sounds that I love and can't wait to hear. Accompanying SCORN on visual duties is Combat Recording's Stormfield, improvising custom-made murky sickly-polychromatic optics.

Moving to a faster, polyrhythmic tempo will be UKAEA. Delivering their tribal, scorched-earth dystopian future vision that resonates with current times more than ever. The set will feature live improvisational string work from the avant / classical violinist Agathe Max.

A rare and powerful solo performance by the avant-viola-voice improvisationist and multidisciplinary artist Luxul.

And a new collaboration between Futur.Shock's own multidisciplinary artist Karolina Magnusson-Murray, and electronic improvisationist and audiovisual-ist SWARMM.

I'll be DJing, playing experimental electronics, underground soundscapes, industrial-visceral-beautiful noise.

In the one and only FOLD. 21.04.22.
