URIN -

With four releases under their belt since 2018, the four-piece hardcore

punk/noise outfit feature songs in Polish but a universal visceral energy.

While they incorporate experimentation into their sonic practice and aim

to be as chaotic and noisy as possible, the tight execution of their songs

and intense energy levels – especially live – have won them a devoted

following worldwide.

Past shows include tours in Colombia, Indonesia, Malaysia, USA, UK & Europe, and appearances at a plethora of cutting edge festivals like:

CTM (DE), Berlin Atonal (DE), Bad Bonn (CH), Static Shock (UK), Creepy Teepee (CZ) or K-Town Festival (DK). The band has played

around 130 shows to this date.

URIN have released on internationally renowned record labels, e.g.: Never Sleep (DE), Iron Lung Records (USA) or Static Age (DE).

OPERANT -

Berlin based live duo and production unit, OPERANT, have progressively carved out their own space in the European electronic scene with boundary

-

defying sonic explorations, fueled with tension and obscurity. A collaborative project between Instruments Of Discipline founder, Luna Vassarotti (IT)

and August Skipper (AUS) (Agency, YANWYTYA ), OPERANT brutally morphs as it pleases, devouring and absorbing all in its path, from extra-

terrestrial black-metal, singularity - sludge, proto - psy- trance, anime noise -

core techno to auto - tuned trap - folk.

Fresh from a transformative five -week residency in Uganda with the pan -

African label Nyege Nyege — which included a blistering performance at the world -renowned Nyege Nyege Festival

—

OPERANT’s ceaseless evolution continues to unfold on the global stage.

Following the release of their debut LP,Traumkörper, the duo now prepare to tour in support of their latest EP,Vape N Bleed , a split release on Total Black and Instruments Of Discipline.

Already having played shows in Tokyo, Melbourne and Sydney, OPERANT will return to Europe in support of Brainbombs, marking the start of OPERANT’s next chapter in uncompromising sonic experimentation in 2025.

OPERANT’s live shows are a collision between the body and machines, encompassing gestural noise, power tools, mic’d metal fragments, and dual vocals distorted to the point of surreality, conjuring an intense performance that is at times ecstatic, terrifying, overwhelming, and absurd.
