WOLFGANG FLUR
(ex-Kraftwerk) / Musik Soldat
with special guest Peter Duggal
To buy tickets for this event please visit our events page: WOLFGANG FLUR (ex-Kraftwerk) - With special guest Peter Duggal tickets from Skiddle .
Wolfgang Flür, robot member of the seminal electronic group Kraftwerk from 1973 to 1987, invented and played much of the group's electric percussion used throughout the 1970s.
A member of Kraftwerk during the group's golden era, he was there from their international breakthrough with the album Autobahn (1974) and remained as they experimented with proto-techno on albums such as Trans-Europe Express (1977) and Computer World (1981).
Musik Soldat ('music soldier') sees this true pioneer performing music from his present projects, including new album MAGAZINE 1, and Kraftwerk past... all with a strong anti-war message.
Don't miss this unique show.

SCALER
Formerly known as Scalping, Bristol's Scaler have quickly become known for blistering live performances and astute production, formed through a love of their hometown’s visionary off-the-wall dance music as well as full throttle noise and punk. Each show incorporates dark, hypnotic projected visuals, and bridges the gap between live guitar music and live electronic music.
Armed with a battery of squelching synths, animalistic rhythms and gritty, piercing guitars, the band have gained a reputation for their frenzied closing slots at festivals, delivering the most visceral audio-visual experience.
“LOAM”, the band’s collaboration with Daniel Avery sees the band lean further into their club and dance-based influences, combining adrenaline fuelled rhythms with euphoric synths that ebb and flow around their heavier sensibilities.

PVA
South London band PVA’s stunning debut BLUSH consolidates the beating pulse of electronic music with the raw energy of a life-affirming gig and reveals more about the trio than they’ve ever shared before.
The 11 blistering tracks from the group, Ella Harris and Josh Baxter (who share vocals as well as handling synths, guitars & production) alongside drummer Louis Satchell, are made from a formula of acid, disco, synths, the release of the dancefloor & queer-coded post-punk.
Their early gigs established PVA as key players in South London’s fervent indie scene alongside Squid, black midi & Black Country, New Road. Leading to slots at SXSW, Pitchfork Festival & Green Man plus tours with Shame, Dry Cleaning & Goat Girl. Even in their earliest iterations their existence beyond the confines of a traditional band set-up were clear. It wasn’t unusual to be able to catch them twice in one night, at Brixton's Windmill and again in the early hours DJing at Deptford’s Bunker.
They released debut single ‘Divine Intervention’ through Speedy Wunderground in 2019 with debut EP ‘Toner’ a year later via Ninja Tune. The EP featured a remix of ‘Talks’ by Mura Masa that picked up a GRAMMY nomination.
On their debut album PVA carry that same energy from the live circuit, while also building out a holistic world full of texture and heart. BLUSH is rich with industrial beats that pack a heavyweight punch, jagged punk spirit and moments of hushed contemplation from Harris’ poetic lyrics.

«BECKETT»
Synthwave & Talkbox with a backdrop of 80s Beats. The music of Beckett is inspired by the movie soundtracks and lifestyles of the 1980s. An electronic palette of synthesizers, drum machines and studio electric guitars infused with Miami sunsets, LA Neon and the glamour of 80s fashion.
“Beckett is the synthwave king!” - Cody Carpenter
«BARIUM NETWORK»
Drawing on influences that take in shoegaze, post punk, industrial and EBM, Barium Network takes an atmospheric dive into the darker side of electronic music that brings the producer’s tastes together in unexpected and unique ways.
«CYNTHIA'S PERISCOPE»
Manchester based experimental electro pop artist, making confessional weirdo pop varying from melodic and tender to brutal and cathartic.
«DEMETAE»
From the humble city of Preston, Demetae caught the wave of one of Manchesters biggest promoters and jumped on the Love Dose Records party train. This allowed Rob to vent his passion for music on the turntables in now iconic clubs such as Sankeys, Hidden & The White Hotel. Inspired by the echoes of rave in his lugs, Demetae launched his own imprint «Powerful Recordings» with several releases from the likes of Kashpitzky, Barium Network & Sted Mørk.
«DURHAM MODUN aka SYNTHTEXTURE»
The D-Man creates banging acid lines and relentless live techno. Expect non-stop beats and intensity from this master of machines.
«T.F.WIZARD»
Expect an eclectic/eccentric maelstrom of mangled guitars and odd-ball dance music from the linchpin of legendary Preston clubnight «Beats of Rage».

Blues Harvest will once again be transforming Preston into a wretched hive of scum and villainy this December as they bring their 'BLUES HARVEST HOLIDAY SPECIAL' to The Ferret! The bands annual event will, for the first time, be an 'extended edition', meaning more bands, acts and surprises, with an early (4pm) opening and late finish.
Blues Harvest are a pop culture party band who have been delighting audiences at comic-cons, space centres and cantinas across the galaxy for over a decade.
Adapting their name from ‘Blue Harvest’ (the fake working title used to hide the 1982 production of Return of the Jedi) the band first performed their blend of geek culture with movie themes and popular hits to an audience of Star Wars fans and celebrities at a convention in 2013, and since then have built up a most impressive reputation as the go-to party band for geek events.
The UK based six-piece consists of Darth Paul (vocals & percussion), Lapti Nik (guitar & vocals), Ad Bane (guitar & backing vocals), Androo-Detoo (keyboards & backing vocals), Bass Windu (bass guitar) and Andylorian (drums & backing vocals). This talented sextet effortlessly fuse geek culture, nostalgia and energetic performances at their memorable live shows, blending their musical influences with fandom culture to result in an uplifting set of timeless movie bangers (Power of Love, Ghostbusters, Flash, Footloose), movie and TV soundtracks (Star Wars, The Mandalorian, Doctor Who, Red Dwarf), 70s awesome mixtape highlights (Hooked on a Feeling, Mr Blue Sky) and plenty of surprises along the way. Their live shows are a multimedia feast, with movie and TV footage being projected along with the music, evoking a nostalgic and crowd-pleasing experience.
“Magnificent! The lyrics, performance and John Williams’ theme fade-out: PERFECTION.”
– Mark Hamill
“Blues Harvest rocks!”
– Ray Parker Jr
“What a din.”
– Warwick Davis
Inspired by franchises such as Star Wars, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Guardians of the Galaxy and many more, Blues Harvest is the perfect cantina band to celebrate the sci-fi, comics and fantasy genres.
…
Appearing alongside Blues Harvest will be Zpor, of extra-terrestrial joymongers HENGE, with an intergalactic DJ set, plus live music from synthwave soundtrack master Beckett, the sci-fi prog surf cabaret rock band Zvilnik, plus Pop-up Puppet Cinema with another cult classic performance, and more announcements to follow!

Teeth Of The Sea + Polypores + Dwellings + Barium Network
Blasting their way through all or any genre distinctions in a storied journey across the chaos and nonsense of sixteen years, London’s Teeth Of The Sea remain true to their original mission - to set sparks flying at the meeting point between raw noise and rich atmosphere. Thundering beat-driven abandon, chaotic psychedelia, heavy melancholia and indelible melody have all coalesced and converged on their five albums for Rocket Recordings.

FRIDAY 13TH OCTOBER
The Ferret | Preston
To buy tickets for this event please visit our events page: Teeth Of The Sea tickets from Skiddle .
TEETH OF THE SEA (live):
From the basements of East London, Teeth Of The Sea have forged forward intrepidly over 16+ years to become heralded as the UK’s most adventurous and unclassifiable outfit in the realm of the psychedelic. As inspired by virulent garage-driven noise as austere avant-garde experimentation and driven by soundtrack atmospherics, jazz exploration and electronic dissonance alike, they’ve outgrown their original influences (Butthole Surfers, Eno, Goblin, Aphex Twin, Throbbing Gristle) to forge a sound both richly celestial and acidically synapse-scorching.
It’s a journey that’s taken them to European festivals like Roadburn, Milhoes De Festa, Eindhoven Psych Lab and Incubate, seen them perform specially curated live soundtrack work in Romania, Cork and CERN, and led them to devastate UK events like Supersonic, Supernormal, Latitude, Bestival and Green Man – all the while forging forward heedlessly into chaos and fresh discovery anew. Set to further terrify and transfix in ways never heard before, Teeth Of The Sea continue to blaze forth with enlightenment and irreverence to the fore. Who knows where they’ll arrive, but be prepared to brace yourself and bear witness.
We are psyched to announce this show - one of a new series of UK shows for the band. Expect more exciting news in the coming weeks, so definitely stay tuned.
…
Support from:
POLYPORES (live):
Polypores (aka Stephen James Buckley) paints music with a modular synthesizer, drawing influence from ambient, new age, and experimental electronics. It soars, bubbles, crackles, and soothes, in ever-shifting, immersive cosmic landscapes. Dream environments and sonic sculptures.
DWELLINGS (live):
Dwellings is the solo project of Chris Haslam, of Gnod & Holy Scum. “An offshoot of the aforementioned Salford-based high priests of sonic rural menace, Level 3 offers an incredibly stark and bare deconstruction of Gnod's often punishing, near-tangible tectonic grooves. This self-styled 'wavering mutant techno' has roots in Cologne, Sheffield and Detroit, but its actual base is somewhere far in the depths, utterly submerged is some form of fathomless abyss.” - The Quietus
BARIUM NETWORK (DJ):
Drawing on influences that take in shoegaze, post punk, industrial and EBM, Barium Network takes an atmospheric dive into the darker side of electronic music that brings the producer’s tastes together in unexpected and unique ways.

On tour to celebrate the release of his new longplayer ‘Crystal Vision’ on his own Cambria Instruments imprint, which features collaborations with Clark and Wizard Apprentice, Nathan Fake brings us a live club show with the intention of “soundtracking the ideal rave” - featuring mind-bending visuals + live electronic wizardry on a deliberately restricted hardware setup.
This is music for music’s sake – recorded without angles, agendas and themes – so Fake was free to simply continue honing his craft and express himself non-literally. Aptly titled, there’s a clarity of execution and ambition, and a peak effectiveness to the record that just sounds right.
Continuing to set a personal bar higher and topping his own best, the mark of master craftsperson is everywhere, but that doesn’t mean it’s polished; There’s plenty of rawness evident, with spiky sonics keeping ears on high alert – full of endorphin-flooded rave energy.

Dave Haslam:
DJ and writer DAVE HASLAM DJ’d over 450 times at the legendary Hacienda in Manchester during the late 1980s and has since DJ’d worldwide (including shows in Peru, New York, Berlin, Barcelona, and Italy). He made his debut at the Hacienda on May 1st 1986. Ian Brown, Tim Burgess and the Chemical Brothers all later credited his eclectic Thursday night sets as an inspiration.
In 1990 he toured America with Mike Pickering, Graeme Park, and Paul Oakenfold. Since the early 1990s he has hosted a variety of successful club nights in Manchester, including ‘Yellow’ at the Boardwalk.
He’s also found time to write numerous books and contribute to countless radio and TV shows. His recent DJ highlights include a party for the designer Paul Smith during Paris Fashion Week; and sell-out shows at cult venues like the Golden Lion (Todmorden) and Night & Day (Manchester).
He describes his DJing philosophy as “playing the best records ever made one after the other”, mixing the old and the new and the classics and the undiscovered gems into a quality, eclectic, floor-filling selection.

FUNK D'VOID:
Hailing from Scotland, with a career spanning over two decades, the now Barcelona based DJ, producer, coach and presenter, Funk D'Void aka Lars Sandberg’s influence on the dance music scene is undeniable.
“Diabla”, released in 2001, was coined ‘biggest techno record of the year’ by DJ Mag and is known and appreciated by today’s youth. It was a record that united scenes and found its way into the boxes of the world’s leading house, techno, trance and progressive DJs alike, seeing the Scot soar into the DJ elite, performing at the world’s best clubs and festivals.
Other tracks such as ‘Jack Me Off’, ‘Bad Coffee’, and ‘Emotional Content', remixes for Underworld, New Order, Laurent Garnier, releases for Bedrock, Drumcode, All Day I Dream and mix compilations for Balance Series, Soma's Sci-Fi Hi-Fi, Cocoon, plus ‘Blood’ and ‘I Try’ under his moniker Francois Dubois, went on to become huge underground hits and crown his legendary status in dance music history.
D’Void’s contributions to the scene don't end with his music. He founded the label Outpost Recordings in 1999, and has recently launched 'Fixed By Funk' - a platform to mentor the next generation of talent.
His new collaboration with True Underground will see him become a show host, interviewing the world's biggest DJ's and artists and selecting the hottest promos for the magazine.
It's clear that Funk D'Void's impact on music and the scene is unparalleled, as he continues to push boundaries through his music and inspire the next generation of talent.

SHOTTY HORROH:
The UKs most infamous battle rapper come rockstar Shotty Horroh is a true underground music legend. Shotty's full band shows boast an incredible blend of socio-economic/political commentary delivered in a unique mashup of indie rock and rapping.
A natural born hustler, Horroh discovered he had a natural talent for technical rhyming whilst whittling days away on the street corner. Eventually rising to become arguably the world’s best battle rapper -- at over 14 million plus views, his battle against Arsonal Da Rebel is the most watched English-language battle of all time. Before long, Deadmau5 came calling and soon he was hanging with Jay Z, moving to Toronto and becoming a star of King of the Dot.
Known for his multi-syllable rhyme patterns, creative wordplay and humorous punchlines, Shotty is arguably the best freestyle talent in the UK and one of the world’s most successful battle rappers.
