Bleep43

Full line-up for Bleep43's Corsica Studios closing party 28th February 3 pm to 10 pm 🖤🖤🖤 Advance tickets almost gone (9 left at last count) https://ra.co/events/2306974 EDIT: Advanced tickets are sold out now! Thank you! If you missed out, look out for resales on RA and stay tuned for updates. @azu.tiwaline live, @erikadotnet x @rrose1921 , @linnley_ , LK x @steliosilent , @plant43 live, @tony_surgeon , Toby Frith, Trappist ( @aliwade__ x @forestdrivewest ). Installation @claireharmercollage . Visuals @lo__ben and @leolodreamland .

There’s a plan for the 11th Oct, which is to go off piste. Come for the gongs, stay for the acid disco… Before we even start with all the amazing artists on the lineup, we’re particularly looking forward to sharing some of our favourite wonky bangers with you, the soundtrack to many years of thorough transcendental research that we’ve carried out together. There will be music for lying down and there will be music for getting up and dancing, but most of all there will be music to lose ourselves in and to bring us together. It’s a new thing for both of us, so many thanks to Bleep43 for helping us to hatch this plan. Ticket link in bio obvs.

Visuals appreciation post! Last weekend @corsica.studios we were extremely fortunate to have worked with three special and like-minded visual artists: @lo__ben @leolodreamland @claireharmercollage who brought their magic to our frankly LIFE AFFIRMING party! Each of them have their own unique voice/ style/ medium… Laurie and Leon tag teamed the visuals in Room 1 whilst Claire created and installed the Raver Arms (pub name if you need one) in Room 2. After Laurie’s Bleep43 debut at The Baths last year, we knew instantly that her particular blend of graphic,3D, abstract and figurative elements was the perfect fit for the music we love. You can catch Laurie performing anywhere from big festivals in the UK and Europe to underground raves/ club nights. Leon’s work first caught our eye at @freerotation.festival where he is a resident and provided incredible visuals in the yurt for @jojohnson.tinysilences and others. His skills and experience as an audio visual artist and educator are ridiculously extensive. His techniques include analogue video, interference patterns, 3D engines, projection mapping (to name a few). Based in Birmingham, he is also resident VJ at House of God and an honorary research associate in the school of physics and astronomy at University of Birmingham. Last but not least, we were so hyped that our dear friend and dancefloor regular Claire Harmer wanted to be involved. Claire is a visual artist working in collage, photography, installation and film. Her work explores themes of escapism, speculative futures and the environment with influence from surrealism and sci-fi. Reflective surfaces, transparent layers, images from old photo books and magazines, found objects and other media such as fused glass, glitter and iridescent paint come together to create rich and otherworldly scenes ranging from small abstracts to epic landscapes. We did not know until the last minute what she was planning for Room 2! I think we can all relate to the iconic Raver Arms! Claire has an upcoming exhibition at The Gallery at The Playroom, London 24th-29th March. Thank you so much to all of you for your contribution! Thanks @_alien101 for videos.

Bleep43 has always been a community as much as a crew and, between 2006 and 2011, Corsica was our community's beloved home – a place to share joy, connection, release and the ridiculous. On 28th February, many of us returned and shared that experience again, a little later in life, with friends old and new. Much has changed, some are sadly no longer with us. At the same time much is constant, like our shared love of transcendent music and our search for the most exploratory and visceral in sound. Our guests represented that search and our long-term ties to the international techno family perfectly – @azu.tiwaline (Paris/Tunisia/Cambodia), @erikadotnet (Detroit/Berlin), Joe Baker aka @forestdrivewest , @linnley_ and @rrose1921 (London), LK (Stroud), and, of course, @tony_surgeon (Birmingham). Each was interstellar and we’re grateful and proud to have worked with them all. The Bleep43 crew was represented by @frequencydomain curator @aliwade__ , who appeared with Joe Baker as Trappist; veteran Athens promoter @steliosilent who collaborated with Disception forum co-founder LK; and, importantly, our founders @plant43 (live) and @whatfroth aka Bleep. They all ensured the music was sublime and purposeful all night. @bea_brennan – a fine artist as well as an extraordinary composer – led on transforming the space in collaboration with @claireharmercollage , @lo__ben and @leolodreamland . Behind the scenes @d_a_n_b_e_a_n and @jojohnson.tinysilences worked with Corsica (shout outs to Adrian, Matt, Eli, Joab & Chris) to pull the event together and support our artists on the day. And the event wouldn’t have been complete without Anya Stang, visiting from Berlin, and Ken Odeluga, both of whom helped shape Bleep43 since 2002. Veterans of the scene, they were critical to our curation over many years. Anya also generously funded many of our events, enabling us to take risks and invite great international artists before they were well known. It was special to be together at Corsica one last time. As the world becomes more challenging, coming together in this way feels more precious. We’re not sure what’s next for Bleep43 but if you’d like to find out, join our mailing list.

Running order for Bleep43's farewell to Corsica tonight 🖤 Runs from 15:00 to 22:00. Advance tickets have sold out but there will be a very small number of tickets on the door. Get there v early to avoid disappointment. Don't forget your photo ID 🚀

Prepping for @bleep_43 at @corsica.studios this Saturday - no computers. One image only. . .. … #analoguevisuals #PALvideo #lzxindustries #syntonie

Every so often a plum opportunity presents itself. The best ones are timeslips - for a few hours things can be turned on their heads and anything is possible: Ecstatic dancing at an immersive deep listening party? Sure. No mixing? Yup. We’ll just play wonky emotional bangers about joy? 100%! On Saturday 12th October that’s pretty much exactly what happened at The Baths in Hackney Wick, London. A few hundred of us joined together to dance for hours on end, but the communal release, the expression of love and joy ended up being so much more than that. This recording captures something of the spirit of that moment. We hope you can feel it as much as we did. Thanks to Bleep43 for trusting us to do this and to the dancers for building this thing with us, your love and support means the world to us. Love Will Save The Day. Tony and Dan. Link in Bio🔝

How do you even put into words what Corsica means to all of us dancers, performers, and promoters who’ve met under its arches? What we do know is that it’s always, obviously, been about art for art’s sake. Since our first party at Corsica in 2006 we’ve experienced so many peak moments, whether in the hands of heroes or witnessing new talent on the cusp of making their names. Many of us took our first unsteady steps as artists or made lifelong connections, all with the love and support of Adrian, Amanda and the crew. Never a truer phrase than ‘nothing lasts forever’ though. In that spirit we welcome you to celebrate what was and what will be, with friends old and new. The perfect line up still eludes us and fortunately it always will, but we’re extremely proud to present this mix of Bleep43 stalwarts and brand new guests. Forwards ever! Advanced tickets via RA

Running order for Bleep43 Inclines – this Saturday 16:00 til midnight. Arrive at the start for the meditative, experimental and immersive – including three live performances. Mats and chairs will be provided in both rooms but, if lying down is your thing, we recommend you bring your own mats to be sure. Some people bring blankets, warm socks, cushions – whatever you need to be comfortable while horizontal – but be prepared to dance, too. We’ll slide the mats away once the sun is down and the energy begins to shift. @tony_surgeon & @d_a_n_b_e_a_n will provide that all important continuous flow before and between the three live performances. @clavendr will set the course with gong and electronics at 16:30. @luke.frase follows with an audio and visual performance, mixing generative and interactive elements. At 18:30 pm, @bea_brennan and Minced Oath (@sunken_foal ) present their brand new collaborative project. From 19:30 until midnight, Surgeon and Dan Bean have the main room and will guide us from horizontal sound immersion to dancefloor release via the more ecstatic, cathartic and psychedelic regions of their musical worlds. This back-to-back is a first and we’re thrilled to have them both. In our second room, our good friend @aliwade__ (@frequencydomain ) lifts off at 16:00 pm, with an extended, fully immersive DJ set with his own spellbinding visuals that will intensify in colour and clarity as the sun slowly sets. Ali will handover to @sybil_dj at 6:30 pm and, from there she and the visual artist and VJ L’Aubaine (@lo__ben ) have three hours to expand minds and tempt us up onto our feet until the room closes. Sybil and L’Aubaine are both first-time Bleep43 guests and we’re so happy to welcome them. From 21:30 pm, everyone will converge in the main room for Surgeon and Dan Bean until midnight when doors close. We can’t wait to experience this with you. 🚀💃 Ticket link in bio Subscribe to our mailing list for discounted tickets
