Thursday 1st December at the Rossi Bar: Emma Papper & Jason Smart / Gun Boiler / Warped Love Group

Emma Papper & Jason Smart: purveyors of lyrical electronic landscapes
Gun Boiler: exploring the power of desensitisation
Warped Love Group: Field recordings in dub

During lockdown Emma Papper and Jason Smart decided to get away from it all and took a Daytrip to Europa, Jupiter’s Ocean moon. They then recorded an album based on their adventures and will be playing a selection of tracks from their musical travelogue.

Pushing the limits of sonic space and human tolerance within the shadow sounds of 200+ BPM Techno – Gun Boiler explores the power of desensitisation to find parity in stark audio darkness.

Warped Love Group: Field recordings in dub, stray vocals found amongst 20th century detritus in the skip of the internet, held together with primitive found sound percussion and rumbling bass.

MelJoann will be providing visuals for this show.

The live music venue is located in the basement, which can only be accessed by a short spiral staircase.
