diy: BILLY TSTRK [LIVE] Mobbs [LIVE] Juline [DJ SET]

No Longer Available

BILLY TSTRK [Live]
BILLY TSTRK name itself portrays exactly the Spirit in which his music is written. Originally a wordplay on The Arabic curse “بلي تسترك” literally meaning “Problems Cover You”, used by stylizing “بلي” to BILLY. This is only the beginning for the artist, listen at your own risk.

A coming up Lebanese Musical Artist. Through his eccentric debut EP “ HAYDE.LLI.LA2 ”, the 22-year-old Beirut-born rapper and producer has been able to deliver a new perspective on rap, by patching up grimy yet sharp and rythmic components with ethereal keys and ambiances, aggressive beats rooted in punk music, while highlighting a very distinctive aesthetic signature, all the while remaining versatile and open-minded to unconventional approaches. His tracks are filled with sharp flows that covet cynical and sarcastic lyrics which range from social commentary in an effort to reaffirm and criticize Lebanese identity and culture all the way to purely absurd syllable collages and wordplays.

MOBBS [LIVE]
Mobbs should already be on your radar. The DJ and producer's regular NTS show introed us to his slop of UK-2-US regional dance ingredients - a dim-lit space where Houston's codeine slither exists alongside euphoric D&B intros, industrial noise gristle and drill wobbles. first release was for Red Lebanese, follow up on Felix Hall Chrome and notable interim productions for A$AP Rocky and Poison Anna, the South-London player comes properly ruff and ready.

JULINE [DJ]
Artist, researcher & DJ, juline's work brings together meditations around lineal memory, representation and post-trauma psychology through experiments with recordings, self-produced sound collages and moving image. alongside her practice, she is one of the co-founders of SADAA Sound Syndicate, an interdisciplinary cross-border group of self-organised syrian sonic practitioners and is currently working on her first feature-length essay film.
