Big shouts to all who attended and performed at yesterday's ESC event. Nobody needs a lecture from me about why the music industry and popular culture in general is a load of facile dogshit, so let it suffice to say that it's a major relief to have a place like @thebeesmouth who are so supportive of genuinely underground things happening in Brighton. It's more important than it seems to have a place we can go which provides ESCAPE from the patronising wank that masquerades as art and shoves itself down our throats every day, even in a town famous for being artsy and alternative (is it fuck). All the people who comprise our community of open minded listeners here: thank you for continuing to care about cool things and make/facilitate real subculture. I did 4 mixes which played throughout the night and I think they're quite good so grab them from /adhmix while they're up for the next 30 days or so. Filled to the brim with weird obscurities, plus loads of unreleased music from artists that I didn't ask permission to share. Sorry if that's you. No track IDs but send me a message with timecodes if you're desperate and I'll work it out. Next one is Carrie and Christian and Ben on the 14th June, come on down.

Another one for the diary... Sun 14th June 2026 adhuman presents Carrie DeCunzo Mirande ------ Christian Mirande ------ Blessid Saint Bones @thebeesmouth 8pm-late (not that late) £5-£10 sliding scale entry (notaflof) More info L8RZ

on Friday 15th May adhuman is collaborating with our pals at @thebeesmouth to host an evening of FREE entertainment flying in the face of a well known music industry yawn fest otherwise plaguing Brighton across the same weekend. ESC will be less a 'gig' than a bizarro environment taking over the Bee's basement from 8-late, free for all to enter and exit as they wish throughout the night. All evening long we'll be firing the usual cracked films and oddball music right up your synapses. There will also be an ambitious, loosely scheduled line up of micro performances from some local favourites dotted throughout proceedings. FREE ENTRY FUN ALL NIGHT REJECT AMBITION EMBRACE THE UNDERGROUND xxxxx

Dragging the carcass out once more

...we stumbled over this after leaving @colouroutofspacefestival in Brighton sunday night. It was a blast! Great artists, audience, organising - T H A N K. Y O U ! ! !

One week has passed since I returned from the Specky Blokes tour with my brothers @rorysalter__ and @bartonskreet . Whatever sequence of live dates in a different country is next for me will have to do some very heavy lifting to beat this experience. 8.5 days solid of 11/10 people, great music, lovely beers and fun, bullshit free cultural immersion. Unforgettable stuff. Especial shouts must go out to Nate for hosting and organisational efforts far above and beyond any reasonable expectations. Thanks to everyone who shot the shit, had a drink and/or came to a gig. Hopefully our paths cross again soon.

Enjoy some promo materials for our show this (Good) Friday! We are hosting the Toronto stop of the SPECKY BLOKES Canadian tour for a night of the finest in international collage, tape and noise music. Utterly pleased to have Toanche Dwelling coming down from Georgian Bay for the wondrous occasion. We are hoping for a night of radical sounds and approaches, modern experimental music, come one come all! ~~~ Friday, April 3rd The Jama 961 College St Doors at 7:30pm Music from 8pm $15 in advance (ticket link in bio) $20 at the door The Jama is a wheelchair accessible venue.

Playing records in between sets with the homie @hp_sorcery at this rather unmissable all day soirée tomorrow at @the_rose_hill A tenner for several hours worth of fine, homegrown avant garde?

Thursday April 2nd at The Jester's Bond, NOTAFLOF. The first international acts to play at The Jester's Bond, aka my living room. Ask a punk ie email me ([email protected]) or message @bbbboulos .  Filling in for a fallen-through Ottawa date on The Specky Blokes tour of Canada that Nate is putting on under the Hamilton Tapes banner. This is a great gig for those who like their tape warble, textures, timbres, and found sound curios.  Rory Salter (London, UK)  Rory Salter (@rorysalter__ ) is based in London, working mostly with sound and performance, as a musician and sound technician. Recordings are available via Index Clean, TEETH, Research Laboratories, Zoomin' Night & others. A new album 'a sky cold as clay' is out now on Infant Tree.  Duncan Harrison (Brighton, UK)  Duncan Harrison (@_adhuman_ ), poet and sound maker, is one of the strong holders within the South English Weird Noise scene. His music displays a broad array of cut-up sound poetry, improvisational strategies and audio collages with sonic left-overs abstracted from daily environments. No surprise he regularly collaborates with the likes of Dylan Nyoukis, Karen Constance, Pascal Nichols, Ali Robertson and many more.  Shadow Pattern (Hamilton)  Nathan Ivanco’s (@bartonskreet ) Shadow Pattern, based in Hamilton, Ontario, is a project for whom the term ‘under-the-radar’ is a cute understatement. Operating with scant regard for the cultivation of listenership or exposure, Ivanco’s work - both as Shadow Pattern and through his Hamilton Tapes label - usually manifests via subterraneously low-key tape editions that rarely if ever make out of his home country of Canada. Typically these releases are procured by direct contact with Ivanco himself and forgo the usual online Noise tape hype cycle. No bandcamp, no webstores, no promo, no bullshit.  Poster by @bartonskreet himself! Thanks as always, come hang out. NO STATIC strives to provide as safe and inclusive a space as possible, but this is only contingent on those who facilitate and attend these events. Bring your friends, behave, be nice. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, abusers, predators, fascists, and the like are not welcome

TOUR UPDATE Ottawa unfortunately has been cancelled. We are now playing in Kingston on 2nd April. Some kinda secret low key show so ask for details.

If you didn't already know, it is just under a month until COLOUR OUT OF SPACE vol. 9 taking place in Brighton. Easily one of the greatest festivals on earth for all things weird, experimental and genuinely underground. Amidst the dizzyingly killer program I will moderate a panel chat between John Macedo /Regan Bowering / Lucia H Chung / Matt Atkins / Vicky Sparrow / James Shearman and Paul Margree, discussing their solo and group activities, as well as what they're up to in the 4046 Group. This discussion plus group performances will take place on Saturday 18th 1pm - 3:30pm. Head to for more details

We are very happy to announce that The Specky Blokes are coming to Kitchener, Ontario.
