SUMMARY:Live electronica: Surfies + John Callaghan + Nukleopatra + Don Quöng + The Maghreban
DESCRIPTION:Mad live electronic music to “officially” open the square outside of Roots & Grooves Café in Colchester*! Free entry\, with doors opening at around 7:30pm… \nSurfies is a mysterious musical collective\, reportedly based in Kansas\, USA\, whose Dadaist electronic songs have disrupted the minds of late-night Adult Swim viewers since 2022. This is their first ever UK show.⁦https://surfies.bandcamp.com⁩https://youtu.be/O6QZmbcYUxw?si=8Fxq3BLmJg97Dvpk&t=581 \nJohn Callaghan is an unusual songwriter/performer of thoughtful and spiky electronica from Birmingham. His 1998 single for Warp Records\, ‘I’m Not Comfortable Inside My Mind’\, is reportedly the cheapest video ever shown by MTV.⁦https://johncallaghan.co.uk⁩ \nNukleopatra has been producing and performing electronic music since late 2024\, combining sampling with original songwriting to craft techno-pessimist electro pop on the fossil fuel industry\, the exploitation of workers producing tech commodities\, the performance of gender on social media\, and more.https://linktr.ee/nukleopatra \nDon Quöng are two rave dads who use a fully-hardware rig to make you dance.https://soundcloud.com/don-quoeng \nDJ The Maghreban has cut a niche for clever\, forceful dance music\, fuelled by mischievous sample play and inspired by his background in hip hop and jungle.https://www.instagram.com/maghreban \n*not\, despite what the map may say\, Coggeshall – this is the cafe opposite Primark x
