Kinlaw & Franco Franco
Cybernetic-industrial-rap duo Kinlaw (producer) & Franco Franco (mc) teamed up for repeated spontaneous neural-freestyle sessions within the gorges and dungeons of Avon sometime in 2018. Their first release “Mezzi Umani Mezze Macchine” came out on Avon Terror Corps in April 2019 followed by their second album on ATC “Mega Dopo Mega” in 2021. The duo blends ill-cried nervously apathetic tales from the present and future upon blasted beats stuffed with reactors failures, nod+body-rhythms and Aztec whistles-driven frights. The pair have been playing at various events and international festivals including Berlin Atonal, Supernormal, Saturnalia, UH Fest and Skaņu Mežs. They’ve recently released their single “Crocs on the Plough” on NoCorner.

BIPED
BIPED is a sound, image and language artist whose work to date extends from guerrilla installations and audio-sculptural interventions for protest. With a primary focus on the promulgation of humane, sincere and post-controversial satire and confessionalism, their janky ballads, cluttered IDM and poems full of gaps evoke the paradoxes of humour and gravity, everyday capitalism and ancient spirituality. A Town Crier for the digital age, BIPED is affiliated and has made releases with Avon Terror Corps (Bristol), QUEEF (Birmingham), Paravision (Marseille), Le Morozoff (Marseille), is a resident at Noods Radio, and is also working on a pantheon of modern mythological creatures and a fake corporation selling wellness.

Copper Sounds
Copper Sounds are an artist duo who use traditional and contemporary processes to explore the physical and visual nature of sound. They see sound as a malleable material, and manipulate it through designing, making and performing with unique sonic objects. They started out as an experimental record manufacturer; making records out of materials such as copper, volcanic rock, chalk and ceramic. During extended live DJ sets they mix these different materials together to sculpt a dark, fractious and industrial dance floor energy. Recent work focuses on minimalist-inspired compositions, exploring the different acoustic and resonant properties of particular shapes, forms and materials. As well as making large scale ceramics, they have begun incorporating 3D design, 3D print and bronze casting into their work.
