Sonics is super pleased to present another evening of raw, gritty, hardware driven, live electronic music for your ears on Thurs 18th June, welcoming Chicago based Beau Wanzer to Hastings for one of his live sets along with special guest, Container. @beauwanzer @socialcontainer Beau Wanzer has over the years had work released via such influential labels as L.I.E.S. Records, Rush Hour and The Trilogy Tapes (as part of Garum and Borez), self-releasing his most recent albums and frequently collaborating with a wide range of artists. For the past 20 years he has run Chicago club night Hot On The Heels as resident DJ and curator. “Molecular biologist by trade, the American producer tinkers with his analogue gear like a mad scientist; slicing, dicing, drilling down and through the superficial dermis of raw machinic spurts and variedly sourced samples to extract a sizzling juice of fractured synthlines, frantic scope distortions and off-kilter rhythms that goes unparalleled these days.” - Inverted Audio For those of you who experienced his blistering opening set for Shit & Shine back in February we’re also hyped to welcome back Container to a Sonics show. Container is the long running electronic solo project of American-born now St Leonards-on-Sea based musician Ren Schofield. Combining his background in noise-rock and tape music with techno and rhythmic electronics, his sound is characterised by propulsive beats and liberal doses of distortion. Container’s deranged sonic meld has been welcomed at club nights, noise basements, electronic festivals and punk shows alike. His music has been released on labels such as Editions Mego offshoot Spectrum Spools and he has toured extensively across the world. Tickets available via @wegottickets Limited capacity show in @brewingbrotherscourtyard Onwards! 🙂🙌🏻💙

US tour was amazing. This is one of the only pics I took. Feeling pretty damaged, but in a positive way. Hopefully coming back soon!

Kicking this off tomorrow! Will be my first time in Portland since 2011 and first ever Container shows in Santa Cruz and Akron as well.. also a bunch of places I’ve played many times before! Looking forward to it… should be a mental trip. Is anyone crazy enough to pick me up from LAX at 3 on Saturday? I’ll have some merch too: ‘Yacker’ LP Container + Will Guthrie ‘Fern’ 10” Plastic Bag CS Pool ‘Attn: Cob’ CS

Join us for an evening with Ren Schofield’s boisterous technoise project Container! Post-club sounds from Fallen Matter and vaporous ambience from Reverb Canopy round out the evening. 💥 Container + Fallen Matter + Reverb Canopy 📆 Fri., Apr. 3, 2026 🕣 Doors at 8pm | Show at 8:30pm 🎟 Tickets: indexical.org Container is the solo project of American-born, UK-based musician Ren Schofield, who since 2009 has been honing a signature sound combining his background in noise-rock and tape music with techno and rhythmic electronics. Characterized by propulsive beats and liberal doses of distortion, Container’s deranged sonic meld has been welcomed at club nights, noise basements, electronic festivals, and punk shows alike. His 6 LP’s and 4 EP’s (for labels like Alter and Editions Mego offshoot Spectrum Spools) have boggled brains around the globe, cementing Container as a distinctive and off-kilter figure in modern electronic music. fallen matter is a producer and DJ who thrives in the hallucinatory depths of post-club apparitions. Their sonic world is shaped by its strange phenomena: glitch artifacts, frigid low-end and video game fragments. Having performed at Ever Afters Campout, Recombinant Festival and Osmosis in the Trees, they look forward to resculpting their audio explorations into an evolving live piece. Reverb Canopy is the main project of multi-disciplinary artist Jonah Westberg, taking inspiration from nature, abstraction and mystery to create textural soundscapes and minimal, hypnotic, immersive ambient music, with noise and experimental notes.

Copenhagen this Friday!
