Music : Xuanni | Soborgnost | Dhangsha. Saturday 7th February 19:30

Soborgnost

Soborgnost is sci-fi dance punk at the intersection of vaporwave, post-punk, disco dub, industrial, proto- house, drone and noise.
Using a hardware sampler to emulate dub mixing and looping post-punk style basslines with chuggy, lo-fi beats. Warping analogue texture is added with cassette tape manipulation, electro magnetic frequency transmitters, shortwave radio, harsh noise generator and dub sirens. Recent shows include supporting Cabaret Voltaire at The ICA in London and Forge in Sheffield, Supersonic festival in Birmingham, Supernormal Festival in Oxfordshire, Brailles Satellite Festival in Lithuania and LUFF Festival in Switzerland
And here is a recent interview on the concepts behind my work and the project if you are interested prxludes.net/2025/10/20/jim-osman

Dhangsha
“Dhangsha” (Bengali for ‘destruction’) is the project and alias of electronic artist Aniruddha Das. Working at the interface of bass culture and experimental noise, he explores minimalism, repetition and fragmentation, instigating turbulent interactions between metered rhythm and abstract noise. By applying heavy distortions to unusual syncopations he has developed a sound that can be described alternatively as “Harsh Bass” or “industrial dancehall.”
Aside from releasing a clutch of albums, including “Live at Spirit of Gravity” and “Aberrant,” the latter with label Hard Return, he has contributed to compilations by Syrphe, Avon Terror Corps, Tusk Editions, Iklectik and Industrial Coast. He is featured on the double vinyl “Disruptive Frequencies,” on Nonclassical. His last
album “Broadcast Signal Intrusion,” for Brachliegen Tapes, achieved 11th position in The Wire’s Top Fifty Albums of 2024.
Known for his visceral live sets, Dhangsha has performed throughout the UK and Europe, including repeat visits to renowned noise venue Cave12 in Geneva. He has appeared at both Iklectik and Cafe Oto several times, most recently at the latter as guest of Japanese artist Xymalloo. He played at Industrial Coast in Middlesbrough in February 2025. Festivals he has performed at include “Electric Spring,” Huddersfield and “Supernormal in 2024, and “Bone-Iklectik,” Barcelona in 2025.

Xuanni Space
Xuanni (aka Space) is a Chinese composer, improviser, and noise artist based in London. Her practice moves between acoustic instruments, electronics, and found objects, focusing on process, physical interaction, and real-time response. She works with dancers, filmmakers, and sound artists, treating performance as a live situation rather than a fixed form. Using knobs, drum machines, and a no-input mixer, she works with unstable feedback systems where sound is always close to losing control.
Her work avoids polished production and fixed outcomes, favouring instability, risk, and immediacy over precision and predictability. In her practice, the no-input mixer is not just a tool but a limitation that shapes how each performance unfolds, forcing decisions to be made in the moment. Active in South China’s experimental music and noise scenes since 2013, Space relocated to London in 2023 and continues to develop her work across institutional and underground contexts. Her work has been broadcast on Resonance FM, and she has composed sound for film and performance projects related to queer and feminist cultural practices. She has performed and collaborated with Ryosuke Kiyasu and Jono Podmore.
