Sneaky Pete's

This month Volens Chorus welcome their brand new resident Lara Sinclair to the cult and what better way to indoctrinate her than to set her loose in a B2B with Volens Chorus day 1 and master of all things fast and hard, DV60. Their styles may differ in some ways but their love for Hardcore, Jungle and Breaks will prevail in what is being tipped as “The greatest set Sneaky Pete’s has seen since the last Volens Chorus”.

On warmsing duties is none other than Lara’s man and Cowgate legend JI_2001 going B2B with Volens Chorus head honcho (and terrible DJ) Quarterpoundernocheese.

This will be a big sweaty family affair and one not to miss, expect Jungle, Hardcore, Jersey Club, Grime and Baile.

£3/5.

Brooklyn-by-Belgium vocalist Charlotte Jacobs transposes her world into music. Sights, movements, sounds and places coalesce, reflecting the artist’s surroundings in lush electronic unison. Born and raised in her parents’ art gallery in a small village in the Flanders countryside, Jacobs’ dense avant-pop arrangements pull influence from visual art, poetry and contemporary dance, converting one artistic medium into another. Her latest EP “The Shape of Wandering” was called “a sonic adventure” (NPR Music), “A musical headfake” (WNYC) and “a book of shadows” (Atwood Magazine).

Joanna Schubert, the Brooklyn-based singer/keyboardist/composer/arranger behind Oropendola, creates kaleidoscopic chamber pop filled to the brim with energy and emotion. Her debut full-length album, Waiting for the Sky to Speak – recorded with Zubin Hensler – was released in March 2023 with Spirit House Records and Wilbur & Moore Records. Her music has been called “expansive and colorful” (Under the Radar Mag), “lovely, ethereal dream pop” (Brooklyn Vegan), and “at the meeting point between arms in the air pop perfection and something altogether more jarring and intriguing” (For the Rabbits). Joanna has also been a touring member of both Half Waif and Barrie, and sung with Grammy-nominated Gnawa musician Samir Langus.

London electronic experimentalist Loraine James joins us for an intimate gig-time live performance this October following the release of Gentle Confrontation, her third album for Hyperdub (label home of Burial, Dean Blunt, Laurel Halo).

Breaking the mould of a predominantly white male IDM scene, James’ stunning hybrid sound meshes IDM with R&B, jazz and UK drill and grime influences. It’s chopped and screwed but honest, bare and emotional. With Gentle Confrontation, she lets us into a new chapter of her real and sonic life in which she examines her past and present – a personal and musical leap forward, delivering a totally unique and personal vision of electronic pop music.

She says this is the record a teenage Loraine would like to have made, with musical tendencies that reflect that time, too. It’s a positively languid, enjoyably disjointed set made while listening to her teenage favourites: math rock and emo-electronic such as DNTEL, Lusine, and Telefon Tel Aviv, which drew her back to her adolescence. Featuring an ever more diverse set of peers, the album places them into Loraine’s unusual musical settings and draws out sensitive and reflexive performances. At other times the album stretches out into a drifting ambience as if trying to find a sense of bliss in the everyday.
