Formant x ORMSIDE presents: Lee Gamble / re:ni / EXIT

This Easter bank-holiday weekend, Formant Soundsystem and ORMSIDE come together for the third time with a night of visceral, mutant club hybrids and other full-frontal sounds.

Lee Gamble is an artist, electronic music composer, and DJ. Over the last several years Lee has released a string of critically acclaimed albums and EPs on seminal electronic music labels PAN and Hyperdub, creating his own UIQ imprint in 2015. His work intersects with installation, performance, written text, technology, sound design and music. His writing was recently published in the book Audint—Unsound: Undead (Urbanomic) and his essay on the voice and its synthetic simulations ‘Dual Space’ was published via Shelter Press in 2023. He has presented work internationally, at Southbank Centre, Tate Modern, ICA London, MMCA, Seoul, MoMA PS1, New York, Sonar Festival, MAC Musée d'art Contemporain, Montréal, Maison de la Radio et de la Musique, Paris and Palace of Culture and Science, Warsaw.

re:ni is the alias of Lauren Bush, a DJ & producer based in South London. Born in Birmingham and later raised in Dorset, re:ni's sub-heavy sound marries deep, dank dub sonics with dark & twisted mutations of techno, jungle and dubstep, characteristic of her label, party and radioshow "re:lax" which she runs with Hessleaudio affiliate Laksa. Following her steady rise as an internationally recognised DJ, having played institutions like De School, fabric and Panorama Bar multiple times, re:ni released her debut 12" Revenge Body on Ilian Tape in 2022. Her second EP BeautySick came out via Batu's Timedance label in 2024, as well as her first 12" on her own imprint. Last month she returned to Ilian Tape with Bass is the Space, a dub-focused 4 tracker in collaboration with her father BiggaBush.

EXIT is the new collaborative project between ex.sses and Grady Steele. Through the medium of a live/DJ hybrid set, expect immersive world-building focusing on paralleling bonerattling power electronics and tactile industrial ambience. Music to be felt, not just heard.
