Elizabeth Alker with new ambient and electronic music that reconfigures the past, including selections from Gaika, Galya Bisengalieva and Ross from Friends.

Elizabeth Alker with new ambient and electronic music that reconfigures the past.

Grime, dancehall, grunge guitar and hip hop aesthetics are just some of the sounds and styles that coalesce in Gaika鈥檚 new album Drift. The South London wordsmith and producer offers notes on past lives and contemporary existence in a weave of poetry embedded in nostalgic musical textures. Hot off the back of a summer鈥檚 touring, meanwhile, Ross From Friends brings a retro UKG energy to tonight鈥檚 show鈥檚 playlist with his ever-evolving take on garage rhythms and vocals. And Galya Bisengalieva conjures elegiac landscapes of sound in her latest release, Polygon, a musical ode to the people, places and beings affected by the nuclear fallout from the Semipalatinsk Test Site on the steppe in north east Kazakhstan. The sound of the Kazakh-British composer鈥檚 violin sighs and laments amongst pulsating electronic textures.
