Miss World: Sofia Kourtesis *postponed*

December 16th, 2021

A Peruvian-born, Berlin-based producer, Kourtesis quickly built a cult following after the release of her self-titled EP in 2019 which led to many of her tracks appearing in mixes and on dancefloors everywhere. Much of Kourtesis’ bittersweet house music takes inspiration from her upbringing in Lima, drawing on the presence of Catholicism and cult figures to create an unfailingly warm and thoughtful form. Her latest EP ‘Fresia Magdalena’, a buoyant and eclectic collection of songs, has been praised by critics with Pitchfork describing it as ‘house music that wears its spiritual yearning on its sleeve’.

Miss World is an all-womxn DJ collective with monthly parties across Edinburgh, run by residents Julia, Emily, Feena & Gemma. We promote womxn and queer DJs from Scotland and beyond at our events, and run workshops for womxn to get into DJing. Our musical beauty pageant touches down at Sneaky Pete’s and on EH-FM every month. Previous guests include Peach, Nina Las Vegas, Logic1000, Lauren Hansom, RAW SILK.

Document + Glass City new date

December 15th, 2021

Evoking the noir, paranoid imagery captured within the spirit of early post-punk, Document’s violent stage performance is a vessel for observational, character driven lyricism. After a year of gigging within the Manchester venue circuit, the band are quickly establishing themselves as a key part of the city’s modern punk revival.

LIFE + Isabella Strange
new date

December 14th, 2021

Turbo Hull Punks LIFE also know how to turn a pop hook. We’ve been following them since 2015 and we reckon they are next in line after Shame to do the business.

IDLES called their record “a beautiful piece of work that deserves our attention” and we concur.  

“this record is indispensable” – DIY (4.5/5)

“tightly wound guitars and lyrical zingers combine for maximum ’80s Peel session effect” – MOJO (4/5)
