CTM will visit OXI for the first time this edition, in a lineup that features sludgetrance avenging angel Swan Meat, and harsh break chaos with the premiere live performance from Berlin-via-Cairo bass distortionist Assyouti. Dublin-based Julia Louise Knifefist creates dense, noise influenced dance tracks with sharp vocals and destructive 808s to thrash to. A true all-rounder with a deep knowledge of the Irish music scene and beyond, Galway-based Shampain co-founded VSN collective and G-Town Records as he continues to sail through uplifting dance sounds worldwide all while propelling his local scene. The SHAPE+ supported artist Oldyungmayn transects an exhilarating musical lexicon of 90s era rave, sharpened sound design, and a wide spectrum of music from fellow Middle Eastern producers.
Opening OXI’s second floor will be Cressida, whose sound is a cross-pollination of two sonic spectrums – the rhythmic, dystopian force of techno, fused with a sound embedded in various points of the UK hardcore continuum. A titan of the UK music scene Scratcha DVA aka Scratchclart has not only left a monumental dent on UK funky and grime, but led the British reinterpretation and innovation of South-African gqom and amapiano. At CTM he appears with vocalist, MC, and self-professed mother of afrorave Toya Delazy to tell a bass-heavy story through sounds connecting Berlin to London, Durban, and Cape Town. Lamsi fuses a great love for hip hop with an ear to genres he grew up around in his native Amsterdam, from garage, to house and dance music. As half of the duo Animistic Beliefs, rbf.linh plays with dark and unpolished dance floor sounds layered with her signature punk vocals.
