A London vocal collective transforming the human voice into ecstatic, physical architectures of ritual, electronics, and collective release.

Hypnotic longform vocal traditions from Western Uganda unfolding through repetition, oral history, and trance-like cycles of call and response.

Saxophone, synthesis, field recordings, and immersive atmospheres suspended somewhere between meditation, ecology, and dream logic.
Previously announced:
⚫️ SHE PAST AWAY (TR) + Abu Nein

Rivet invited DJ Fede to take over this month's installment of Everything but a podcast ~ live on air next at 19:00 CEST
@ retreatradio.net
We’ve been quiet for a moment — about 1.5 weeks of needed stillness.
Not gone, just recalibrating after something that took everything (in the best way).
Truth is, we didn’t think it was possible to go beyond last year.
The 10-year mark felt like a peak. A full circle.
But somehow, this year stretched further.
More intensity, more connection, more of that fragile, electric thing we’re all here for.
This festival isn’t built on logic. It never has been.
It survives because people choose to show up for something that isn’t easy, obvious, or guaranteed.
To everyone who made it real — artists, crew, collaborators, volunteers, and all of you in the crowd — thank you. Deeply.
We’re still here because of you.
And yes, we’re already thinking about what comes next.
Til we meet again. ❤️

ELKTRN009 is a double-drop with ELKTRN008 with Mesak’s new 12” comes out simultaneouslywith the forthcoming LAS record.
Mesak’s current production wave has been clocking in at 160 BPM. If you’re lucky enough to have heard his sets from the last three years you know the music is next level machine mastery. We are are proud to document this phase in Mesak’s musical evolution with this release that also includes remixes from Piezo, hot off of previous remixes for Objekt and Om Unit and Rivet, who’s recent production you’ve heard for example on last year’s Sandwell District album.

Mesak returns for his second 12” on Elektorni. This time with a three-tracker of 160 BPM dub-infused electro research with a d&b edge. B-side remixes from Piezo and Rivet slow down the tempo into 120 BPM interpretations of two of the originals.

The legend and pride of Malmö, Rivet, has made a magical IDM remix of Comfort Module’s song The Ocean. It’s just as suitable for the cozy home as it is for the fearless dance floor. ✌️🎶

Only a two days left until Frédéric Gies performs Three Ways of Averting the Evil Eye with live music by Rivet and Johanna Knutsson and with additional music by Fiedel.
With three worlds of sound Gies lets movement turn into a protest, a ritual and poetic force.

– We speak the same language but in different art forms, says Johanna Knutsson
A body in resistance, three worlds of sound. In Three Ways of Averting the Evil Eye, choreographer and dancer Frédéric Gies joins forces with electronic musicians Fiedel, Johanna Knutsson, and Rivet. The musicians have composed a part each for the piece, which have then been interpreted through dance.
– That format creates a different experience than my other work, which definitely creates an element of surprise for the viewer, says Frédéric Gies.
The work unfolds as a triptych, three distinct chapters where movement and sound enter into intimate, unpredictable dialogue. The relationship between music and dance isn’t just thematic, it’s elemental. The piece also carries an undercurrent of protest and resistance.
– Art in itself is resistance. A hotbed for the dissentient and disobedient. For me personally it's also a way to cope with the shittiness of it all (life, humanity, existence etc.), says Mika Hallbäck Vuorenpää.
Read the full interview with Johanna Knutsson, Frédéric Gies and Rivet, about upcoming performance Three Ways of Averting the Evil Eye. You'll find it in our newsletter (sent out today).
