To celebrate the release of their seventh full length album titled A Bath Full Of Ectasy, the acclaimed electronic-indie-poppers Hot Chip return to play at New Slang.

"A Bath Full of Ecstasy is a fresh, invigorating and essential new chapter in Hot Chip's career, taking in their huge breadth of influence and melody as only Hot Chip can. This is the first time the band have chosen to use outside producers from the offset, working with Philippe Zdar (Cat Power, Beastie Boys, Phoenix, Cassius) and Rodaidh McDonald (The XX, Sampha, David Byrne), and there is a marked dynamism in Zdar’s mixing that brings out the boldness of the songs collected here."

"The record is a celebration of joy but recognises the struggle it can take to get to that point of happiness. You can hear the pleasure Hot Chip had in creating this album and they want to pass on that feeling to the listener. It is time to get lost in A Bath Full of Ecstasy."

Times TBC but we expect doors at 9:00pm with Hot Chip on at 10:30pm.

After the show, it's New Slang as usual where you can expect to hear the likes of The 1975, CHVRCHES, Arctic Monkeys, White Lies, FOALS and many more until 2AM.

Northern Kind

A duo consisting of Matt Culpin and Sarah Heeley, Northern Kind emerged in 2006 demonstrating an ability to craft polished pop with a strong electronic thrust. Their distinctive sound swiftly won over fans who had been keen to see what synth-pop could sound like in the 21st Century. Their 2007 debut album 53°N brought critical praise, particularly for the combination of Heeley’s powerful vocals and Culpin’s ability to craft engaging electronic melodies that had hints of Vince Clarke in its DNA.

Northern Kind also demonstrated that they could deliver on the live front as well. The duo’s rapidly growing profile would lead to spots at the Silicon Dreams Festival in 2013 (where they shared the stage with Heaven 17) as well as support slots for Gary Numan and Alan Wilder at the Postbahnof in Berlin.

Their last album, 2013’s Credible Sexy Unit album, again drew praise. The Electricity Club’s review concluded: “…the songs that make up Credible Sexy Unit form exactly what you’d expect from Northern Kind: retro-amped chipper tunes, superlative singing, enduring song writing, and a professional attitude that belies their indie sensibilities.” The album also drew praise from the likes of Erasure’s Andy Bell.

Northern Kind have returned in 2019 with ‘Lip Service’ - a finely tuned slice of dancepop perfection.

Twist Helix

Euphoric, northern goth-pop trio Twist Helix make accessible poignant lyrical themes exploring loss of community and urban renewal. The band's 2018 album Ouseburn has won praise for its joyous and widescreen synth-pop take on the English North.

Releases taken from the album have premiered in PRS for Music's M Magazine, The Revue.ca, Get in Her Ears, Little Indie Blogs and the band have been championed by Amazing Radio Worldwide, BBC Introducing and Radio 3 (Spanish National Radio).

Their live show is delivered with a compelling urgency by frontwoman and lead synth player Bea Garcia as the band dramatically re-imagine the cityscape of their home Newcastle-upon-Tyne, blurring the boundaries between creation and destruction, decline and redemption, hope and despair.

Berlyn Trilogy

Berlyn Trilogy are a modern synth-pop band using a range of synthesizers and vocals, propelled along by pounding rhythmical drum machines and a bass guitar.

The release of their 2014 album A Perfect Stranger presented a collection of solid synth-pop that boasted the percussive pop of ‘Synthetic Love’ and the epic tones of ‘The Drone’. Their 2018 EP Flowers Fall embraced a gothic pop that showed a band evolving through the muscular ‘Domus Aurea’ and evocative ‘Simone (Nicole)’.

Berlyn Trilogy are retro-futurist romantics with classic electronic structure and a darkly exciting edge. Escape the dull grey that is the disappointment of yesterday's future through songs of the city and the heartbreak of unreturned love.

OVVLS

As played on BBC 6 Music, the perfectly pitched harmonies and soft tones of OVVLS contrast the morbidity that seeps from lyrics depicting the emotional turmoil of being a millennial battling through the age of false idealisms and filtered images. This is further harnessed through hypnotic rhythms and dark soundscapes giving the band a sound that much exceeds sonic expectation from two people.

Renowned for their unusual collaborations, OVVLS invest much of their time making the music an all round experience. From live visual shows to releasing singles as ‘message in a bottle’ style USBs, the band’s ethos has quickly grabbed attention of press around the globe resulting in shows in the likes of New York and Philadelphia and playing on line-ups including likeminded artists such as Clinic, Let’s Eat Grandma and Warpaint.

The Rude Awakening (feat. Bridget Gray)

Formed by radio presenter, promoter and electronic musician Johnny Normal, The Rude Awakening, as described by TEC, explore "The darker more sensual aspects of the human relationships explored here are not a million miles away from some elements that define the storyline to Soft Cell’s Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret.

Their debut album Kaleidoscope featured the Numan-esque ‘Emerald Dancer’, the techno spirit of ‘Trite Shite’, the dreampop beauty of ‘Butterflies' and the bold strides of ‘Let Nothing Take Your Pride’.

Autorotation

“Really interesting stuff… Reminds me of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in a way, but obviously a stage or two on from that.” – Rick Wakeman(composer and keyboardist for Yes, David Bowie) Autorotation are an industrial art-pop trio from London, UK. Combining real voices and acoustic instruments with laptops, synths, samplers and visuals, they create compelling and unique live performances.To the ear, Autorotation choreograph a lush electronic choral sensibility with progressive and percussive beats, disorientating washes of pedal-tones and natural warm acoustics, and all somehow within the confines of one ‘song’.

Subliminal Impulse are a collective of artists creating multi media arts events presenting their inaugural electronic music festival in Manchester, 5-6 July 2019.

Carter Tutti

Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti formed Chris & Cosey out of the ashes of their seminal 70s' Industrial band Throbbing Gristle. Throbbing Gristle (and Carter/Tutti) founded the Industrial music genre and were one of the first bands to successfully fuse electronic and acoustic instrumentation. Their musical legacy is still very much in evidence today.

When Throbbing Gristle was terminated in 1981 Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti signed to Rough Trade Records and began recording and performing as Chris & Cosey. From the very start they indulgently utilised electronics, sampling, rhythms and Cosey's distinctive vocals, cornet and guitar style. In 1982 (and in collaboration with Rough Trade) they formed their own offshoot record label Conspiracy International (aka: CTI) for their more experimental recordings and collaborative projects. CTI continues to run alongside Carter and Tutti's more accessible work.

The most recent Carter Tutti album was Feral Vapours of the Silver Ether and is has been heaped with praise and rave reviews and is being acclaimed as "their finest yet". Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti are currently working on a number of collaborations, remixes.

In 2011 Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti began touring again as Chris & Cosey, while also continuing to perform as Carter Tutti.

The festival will also feature a selection of performances taking place in Northern Quarter over 5th-6th July 2019, including acts such as Marconi Union.

For production he teamed up with Italian producer Giulio Gaietto and the album was released September 2016. In this same year he went back on to the live stage playing concerts throughout Europe. He is currently writing new material for forthcoming albums, touring and collaborating on various projects..

The Rude Awakening

Heralded by The Electricity Club as “This year’s most promising new act”, The Rude Awakening ft Bridget Gray write and perform stylish, sensual and evocative synthpop music about subjects many would leave well alone.

To celebrate the release of their seventh full length album titled A Bath Full Of Ectasy, the acclaimed electronic-indie-poppers Hot Chip return to play at New Slang.

"A Bath Full of Ecstasy is a fresh, invigorating and essential new chapter in Hot Chip's career, taking in their huge breadth of influence and melody as only Hot Chip can. This is the first time the band have chosen to use outside producers from the offset, working with Philippe Zdar (Cat Power, Beastie Boys, Phoenix, Cassius) and Rodaidh McDonald (The XX, Sampha, David Byrne), and there is a marked dynamism in Zdar’s mixing that brings out the boldness of the songs collected here."

"The record is a celebration of joy but recognises the struggle it can take to get to that point of happiness. You can hear the pleasure Hot Chip had in creating this album and they want to pass on that feeling to the listener. It is time to get lost in A Bath Full of Ecstasy."

Times TBC but we expect doors at 9:00pm with Hot Chip on at 10:30pm.

After the show, it's New Slang as usual where you can expect to hear the likes of The 1975, CHVRCHES, Arctic Monkeys, White Lies, FOALS and many more until 2AM.

When the sleazy synth workings of the then-titled Trust first arrived on the scene, it was like opening a dimensional portal into a bizarre shadow universe of sordid, brooding synths.

That universe came courtesy of Canadian electronic musician Robert Alfons and was first served up on his 2012 debut album TRST. Compositions such as ‘Dressed For Space’ and ‘Sulk’ oozed a frenetic energy that bristled with a sinister quality. Along for the ride at the time was Maya Postepski, who later bashed the skins for baroque pop outfit Austra (and who also developed her own solo outing under the guise of Princess Century). This gothic synth-pop approach established Trust as an act to keep an eye on.

2019 sees TR/ST return with two new albums titled Destroyer – 1 and Destroyer – 2. The tracks for the albums were recorded by Alfons in Los Angeles, but also with some sessions in the more rural parts of his native Ontario. The TR/ST frontman describes the first album (due out this April) as “really intense, sort of promiscuous in its sound.” The second album (scheduled for release later in the year) is rumoured to be much darker and in all likelihood tracking much more closely to the material on debut album TRST.

A double header gig featuring two of the best electronic acts in the UK, both hailing from Sheffield but producing very different sounds.

PROMENADE CINEMA will be bringing their unique brand of "cinedramatic synthpop"; influenced by the 70s & 80s pioneers of electronic music, together with dramatic film scores and soundtracks, Promenade Cinema create 'danceable darkwave' covering a wide variety of emotions and imagery, paired with unmistakably powerful multi-layered vocals and opulent melodies.

Their debut album Living Ghosts showcases outstanding production by Steve Whitfield (The Cure, The Mission) & mastering by Dean Honer of The Bowling Green (The Human League, Pulp, Moby).

RANDOLPH & MORTIMER fuse classic industrial, EBM and rave sounds with an ethos straight from punk. They have played alongside Youth Code, 3TEETH, Godflesh, PIG and Cubanate and have themselves been remixed by some of the hottest acts in electronic music such as Rendered, Dinamite, Schwefelgelb and LauraPalmer.

Schwefelgelb's remix of "Citizens" has become an instanct classic in the underground electronic scene.

Consistently topping the best selling genre charts on bandcamp, this is a rare chance to see their fantastic live mix of brutal audio and visceral visuals live.
