Polarity follows Jon Hopkins’ incredibly successful Singularity tour, which saw him perform sold out solo live shows, festival dates, and DJ appearances across the globe. Polarity traverses different musical territory to Hopkins’ previous work, tethering together “the two disparate elements of harshness and fragility in [his] music,” and utilising seated venues for a more meditative and wider-ranging experience.

SATURDAY 20 NOVEMBER
Strange Brew, Bristol
7.30pm – 10pm
We welcome AYA to Strange Brew for her ‘im hole’ Bristol album launch. As a performer, aya simultaneously assumes the role of folk singer, town cryer, bard and court jester. Whether DJing at Manchester’s paradigm-shifting boygirl parties or performing live at Poland’s Unsound festival she played with perception as if it were an extra turntable. Daubed in elaborate makeup, aya used her voice to soften the academic stiffness of sound art, subverting British dance culture’s laddishness with self-effacing Northern humor and absurdist poetry. On “im hole” this routine has evolved; aya has distilled the incisive sonic experimentation of her early run of releases, the tongue-in-cheek giggles of her DJ sets and edits, and the identity-fluxing lyricism of her live shows.

SWX, Bristol

Viagra Boys bring their live show to SWX Bristol. An unapologetically raw sextet comprised of classically trained jazz musicians, karaoke loving tattoo artists and seasoned hardcore scene veterans. Churning out pulsating sounds from the sub levels of contemporary rock music – a bellowing, unstoppable force majeure of latter-day punk, PTSD disco and synthetically enhanced kraut.
