Aquifer: Egg Meat, Sleepsang, Ol. G

Aquifer is a new party spotlighting experimental electronic music in Sheffield: kicking up clouds of silt from a bed of dub techno, footwork-electro and minimal dnb.

Headliners Egg Meat are the duo of poet-musicians Tooth Rust (Laurel Uziell) and Georgie McVicar. Their sound cuts across synth-prog, AFX style IDM, two-step, noise, dancehall, and elegiac song, dwelling in the dirt built up between these genres. Their new album, ‘The most Pathetic poem is small people on fire’ - out now on Manchester’s vaunted Mutualism label - has won praise from music journalists and tastemakers alike, including from The Wire magazine and Pitchfork’s Philip Sherburne.

Brought together by adjacent monthly slots on Kitchen Radio, Ol. G and Sleepsang realised a shared taste for uptempo, dubby and atmospheric techno, resolving to make a space for this sound in Sheffield. For a taste of what to expect check their two hour b2b set on Kitchen Radio’s Mixcloud.

Gut Level is an inclusive, members-only space. Membership can be bought from as little as £2 per year on their website. Event artwork: Studio Koseda.
