Tri Angle is the focal point for a disparate group of young artists loosely unified by lo-fi aesthetics of disembodiment. The label’s meticulously curated catalogue, which dates back to mid-2010, features the incorporeality of internet-sourced samples combined with sluggish beats and sensual textures. Founded by blogger Robin Carolan with support from Kompakt, the Brooklyn-London based imprint is a truly online-age dance music label – its far-flung roster of artists mine veins as diverse as hip hop, Houston’s screw scene, dubstep, disco, early industrial, contemporary pop, and found field recordings. Tonight’s line-up boasts Tri Angle artist Balam Acab in his first, much anticipated European appearance, plus label mates Holy Other and oOoOO, and support from Kuedo and Puzzle. Distinctions between chart pop, club, and avant-garde blur and melt into gateways to unknown, ethereal realms.
BALAM ACAB (US)
Balam Acab was the first musical project to be released on Tri Angle with his moody, mono EP See Birds (2010). His debut LP, -Wander/Wonder (2011) was lauded by critics. The 20-year-old Pennsylvania native (Alec Koone) works with moody synths, slow tempos and ethereal, warped voices created almost entirely with found samples.

HOLY OTHER (UK)
Holy Other’s With U EP combines R&B references with early industrial dance beats and ghostly vocals. Born in Stockport, where 2-step garage and dubstep were big influences, the artist has spent time in Berlin and Gothenburg and is now based in Manchester.

oOoOO (US)
San Francisco based Chris Dexter Greenspan is often recognized as one of the pioneers of »witch house«. His project, oOoOO (pronounced »oh«), blends synth harmonies, ghostly voices, and spooky atmospheres with his love of Dirty South and poppy hip-hop production.

KUEDO (UK)
Making his name as part of British dubstep duo Vex’d, Jamie Teasedale’s reinvention as Kuedo flies into starry-eyed futurism, glassy synth superhighways, sweeping synths, and that familiar futuristic feeling of sci-fi soundtracks.

PUZZLE (INT)
When Puzzle was first hit by high-energy beams of starlight, he started seeing melodies in vibrant, shimmering palettes of neon and began weaving them together with thick blankets of bubbling bass.
