We are so excited to announce that we’re bringing together three wonderful acts for an evening of atmospheric, archival and experimental sound. Joy Moughanni, Manchild and Ecem Ince @dissenter.space / May 30th 7pm / £10 adv
Joy Moughanni is a Beirut-based producer, engineer, and songwriter, as well as a partner at Tunefork Studios. As a sought-after production collaborator in Beirut’s alternative scene, producing several albums with regional and international artists. Joy’s work explores sound in relational contexts and archives, drawing from his architectural studies and spatial sonic installations.
Recently, he has been sonically exploring themes of personal and political manipulation through his debut solo album “A Separation From Habit” Voted #48 on The Quietus 2025 Album of the year.
Manchild are a Leeds-based jazz/electronica trio who combine ethereal sax melodies with driving drum and synth grooves. Their newest ep ‘Manchild II’ brings together traces of the landscape of shopping centres and warped rhythms. They will be joining us at the end of their uk tour.
Ecem Ince is an artist and researcher from Istanbul, currently based in Dundee, exploring the intersection of new media art and interaction design. Ecem’s practice-based research reimagines forms of material and embodied responses to visual-centric immersive experiences by foregrounding the corporeal dimensions of virtual environments. They experiment with experiential interactive systems, objects, sensors, noises and field recordings that expand the language of digital interaction beyond disembodied visuality, toward more material experiences.
Tickets are linked in our bio- they are priced so we can pay our performers but if you cannot otherwise come do send us a message and we can work something out. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds.
