New date announced!
inklingoom - boundary-breaking dance and music series returns to celebrate the launch of a new record label. The initial launch event in December had been postponed due to the Covid-19 restrictions, but now we are back to presenting the same lineup featuring GAIKA, Silvia Kastel, and Yraki to DJ, among choreographed performances by Keity Pook, Jem Beltham, Anna Dunlop and a newly announced artists ALICE+SYNE and CSV.
inklingroom is a multidisciplinary art platform, label and event series that aims to straddle the divide between experimental, club music and dance. The launch of the new label will provide a platform for some of the most forward-thinking and genre-defying contemporary producers and dance artists to put their creations onto vinyl and produce dance films.
The event will celebrate the debut six-track EP of London/Athens based composer, and sound artist Jeph Vanger, with the rework by Yraki. 'Cyclothymia' is available to pre-order on our Bandcamp page, and is scheduled to be released in early March.
//The curation and production of choreography has been made possible thanks to the partnership with Allpress Espresso - London
//PROGRAM
---GAIKA
As both a vocalist and producer, GAIKA is as uncompromising in his politics as his sonics, intent on expanding and exploding the ideas of what contemporary black British music is. From his debut mixtape Machine in 2015 to his debut LP on Warp Records, Basic Volume, GAIKA is channelling the unique synthesis of the UK’s musical make-up, firmly at the forefront of a new London.
“Hear about London right now, and it probably sounds a bit bleak; the mass closure of much-loved venues, house prices that only the rich can afford, rising racial tensions and increasingly no help for the down-trodden. However, scratch away its surface, and the deep, dark, anonymous city remains brimming with fearless art, just as it always has done – a testament to what can bleed from a gaping wound."

---SILVIA KASTEL
Silvia Kastel started performing live in 2008, focusing on experimental electronic music and extended vocal techniques and having released music on established, forward-thinking labels such as Blackest Ever Black and Hyperdub. She evolved into DJing in 2014, first on radio and then in clubs, and now based in London with a monthly residency on NTS, her sets fuse unashamedly pop melodies with the bass-heavy polyrhythms of regional club sounds from Latin America, the Caribbean, the US and the UK (dembow, dancehall, grime, jungle, techno, footwork).

---YRAKI
Yraki is the new avant-garde creation born of London-based artist Mariano Sibilia. His work expands the spatial characteristics of ecstatic club music blending twisted experimental soundscapes with warping graphics resulting in fresh, innovative multisensory experiences. Today his signature style channels roots in ambient, bass, and broken beat while injecting some post-club influences. His debut EP will be released at the beginning of 2022 on vinyl via inklingroom and combined with experimental choreography and 3D art.

---JEPH VANGER
Jeph Vanger is a sound artist and composer working between Athens and London. He has worked in dance, theatre, and art installation. His works often combine multi-channel sound systems, modular synthesisers, and handmade sound sculptures, focusing on the physicality of sound in space as a moving and raw entity. His debut five-track Vinyl EP - Cyclothymia, will be released in December 2021, accompanied by the video dance film collaborating with London-based choreographers and dance artists Keity Pook, Lesya Timinska, Alex Miklosy, and video artist Maria Piva.

//DANCE
---ALICE+SYNNE
Presents: Cow bells and keys
Performed by Alice+Synne
This is a dance of change and transformation. As the lines of our bodies become hazy and our form starts to shift, we enter a world of metamorphoses: a wander through different bodies, moments, places and myths.
Alice+Synne is a choreographic duo, creating movement in conversation with design. We are interested in how costume morphs and shifts the boundaries of the body, and how this opens up the possibilities of movement.
---ANNA DUNLOP
Presents: Vulpes Vulpes
Performed by Bethanie Hayes
Original collaborative performer: Annabel Knobbs
Late nights turn cities into empty forests.
London foxes only live two years.
Manged fur and paws raw on cold concrete.
They belong here.
Beauty and pain. Wildness in urban landscapes.
Creatures who flourish in the paradox.
Carnal and divine.
Hurt by the world we created for ourselves.
Animal. Human. Beauty. Pain.
We belong here.

---Jakub Iwan presents Lost Connections
Lost Connections is a story about the physical effects of changes in our brains, told through clothes. Thanks to this collection, you will be able to better imagine the impact these changes have on the human psyche and understand how it can be a shapeshifter.
“With the help of clothes, I wanted to give physical shape to non-physical personality transformations. The reason why I chose to base my first creations on mental illness is because many people around the world struggle with them and I believe they should not be ridiculed or taboo.” Jakub Iwan
