Introducing: Blood of Aza @bloodofaza Blood of Aza is a dynamic DJ and music producer whose emotionally intense and resilient productions have made a significant impact on the electronic music scene. Known for blending dark, atmospheric sounds with the noisiest pop-edits and disturbing post-internet tracks, Blood of Aza has become a key figure in the current SoundCloud underground. The UK-based artist first gained prominence by releasing remixes of pop and rap idols, quickly catching the attention of the global music community. Even iconic figures like Aphex Twin have featured her tracks in their sets, further solidifying her reputation as a groundbreaking artist. She will be performing live for the first time in London at the ICA, off the back of her incredible Berlin live debut at CTM; this is not a performance to miss. Then for the afterparty she’ll be going b2b with @mvcoko for a very raw set giving homage to all their favourite black artists and genres.

Introducing: Mvcoko @mvcoko Mvcoko is London-based dj and producer who focuses on narrative driven, relentless sets full of bass, noise, punk, jersey club, industrial, hardcore, film scores, ambient & more. Their work engages with the extremities of emotion - drawing on anguish, rage and tension as core materials. Through layered, narrative-driven sets, Mvcoko uses sound as a form of emotional processing, tracing arcs that shift between chaos and calm, abrasion and beauty. Their debut EP will be released this year with their first single having just been released on Burenhinder’s Posthuman VA. They’ll be playing both during the day and night event at the ICA and Ormside Projects on the 22nd of May. Their night performance will feature a b2b with longtime collaborator @bloodofaza expect a set full of “noise music you can twerk to”

Introducing: Lord Spikeheart w/NMR.CC presents REIGN @lord_spikeheart_777 @nmrdotcc REIGN is an audio-visual performance inspired by the Mau Mau Rebellion in Kenya (1952–1960), approached as a point of departure rather than a historical retelling. The work reflects on universal and contemporary experiences of abuse, displacement, betrayal, and loss shaped by enduring systems of power. Moving beyond a specific place or time, REIGN engages with ongoing global struggles for resistance, reclamation and justice, revealing how these histories continue to inform present realities and collective demands for accountability, dignity, and transformative change. REIGN will be presented for the very first time in London at the ICA on the 22nd of May. Don’t miss the chance to see it live, tickets in link in bio.
