Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Murky spoken word trips over fuzzed tape loop FX and drum machines into infinity; a spectacular rendering of sonic exercises from Cabaret Voltaire, Severed Heads and Suicide into future industrial dreams of the past. Essential new discovery FFO: The Modern Institute, Blackest Ever Black, Factrix, Consumer Electronics, Throbbing Gristle."

A gig held at Strange Brew on Friday 25th November. The event starts at 19:00.
Schwet serves up more utterly obscure outsider mush. None more Schwet.

SCHWET DJs playing murky industrial oddities before/after.
FFO: Cabaret Voltaire, Suicide, Wolf Eyes, The Shadow Ring +++
brain-fog, blurrrr, cross-eyed focus, zzzzz, mulch, staring into the void, insomnia, paranoia, creeping oppressive dread, the unknowable, decay, Burroughs.
Narcotised, scuzzed out, post-Suicide punk rock and roll anti-ness.
Lofi spirit, spoken word, guitar, synths. Hits from the future. Sluggish pools of greyscale electronics and viscous synth blubber, prodded by corroded beats and warped dictaphone gargle.
Since their emergence in 2016, the duo have toured Europe several times over and are knee deep in the sticky, murky waters of 15+ releases for sub-underground pillars such as Siltbreeze, Ever/Never, tanzprocess etc.
"Skeletal aspects of the early British electro-punk sound, combined with arty post-punk distancing...a visceral racket, hypnotic and darkly welcoming or downright startling." Wire Mag
"A lolloping low-end sets up an awkward groove, the rusting, delay-driven lurch halfway between King Tubby and ‘Red Mecca’-era Cabaret Voltaire."
"Weary mechanical rhythms are forced into rotation, distorted voices read ransom letters at a barely audible volume, telephone receivers are hacked and the dust on Roche’s speaker cones takes on a life of its own through these inscrutable tracks."
