A night of sonic exploration, fresh sounds and side projects, curated by Comet is Coming’s synth player and producer, Danalogue in colloboration with SJQ.

˙∆˚ Danalogue & the Acid Wrecking Crew ˚∆˙

Danalogue returns to the CHRYSALIS with the all-Roland analogue set up, this time with the aptly titled ‘Acid Wrecking Crew’ surely referring to the ecstatic/bombastic revelrous sound with slapping drum machines and more than a hearty nod towards acid house.

Through the snaking and bubbling bass lines provided by the synths synonymous with the acid movement, TB303 and SH101, the trio craft a new sound blending electronic, new age and jazz fusion that pulls you to the dance floor.

Following a pulsating set at Portugals ‘waking life’ festival the wrecking crew felt compelled to bring back their sonic adventures to the heartland of London.

Featuring Mikey Chestnutt and Jordan Parry from Snapped Ankles, and a very special secret guest.

˙∆˚ Hiro Ama ˚∆˙

What do we turn to when we’re in need of peace? Some might head to the forest or the sea. Some might reach for standard remedies: yoga, meditation, a long bath, a cup of tea. And others might buy an obscure 1980s Japanese synthesiser with a name that literally translates to “peace and harmony”, and use it to make a debut album.

That’s exactly what Hiro Ama did. “A lot of things are fragile and chaotic at the moment in this world, and I wanted to make music to soothe my mind and heart,” says the musician and Teleman drummer. He turned to the Wakaru, a Japanese synth from the 1980s that he stumbled across while browsing for weird instruments on the internet about ten years ago. He liked the recognisable sounds of the Wakaru: traditional instruments such as the koto (Japanese harp), flutes, and drums. The idea to use it to make some songs — maybe even an EP — had been brewing for a while. But when he eventually had time to experiment with the instrument in the summer of 2023, the songs flowed quickly and naturally, and he found himself with more than enough material for a debut album: Music for Peace and Harmony.

Featuring hector plimmer, alice mary jelaska & edna

HAE HAE met at the Jaminaround residential course in 2023. After an inspiring week of listening and sharing judgement free music they kept up the spirit of the course by meeting regularly and having long improvised jams. Described as “The sound of flight through the clouds and submersion in the clearest waters”, the trio will be providing high levels of floatiness.
