Rosebud
Heavily improvised situationist electronics

Beats. Wails. Howls. Deconstruction and S.W.E.A.T. Born in Worcester (officially dubbed the UK’s “dullest city where nothing ever happens”), Rosebud have shared a stage with the likes of Blanck Mass, Qujaku (Japan), Mothwasp, Poisonous Birds and many more. Drawing on a wellhead of Drone, European Industrial, Jeff Mills and the filthier end of Krautrock, Rosebud feed on the visual chaos of The Fluxus and Dada Art movements.

Raeppen
Sami influenced Shamanic Drones

Sami influenced Shamanic drones using voice and percussion. This mixed with modern music technology to create hypnotic soundscapes… Ræppen, is the work of a Nomadic travelling Shaman who travels the planet playing ritualistic drones. Not much is known of the Shaman but when the ritual is performed the Shaman will use hypnotic rhythms to develop a trance like state to be at one with the spirit world.
