Mira Calix
Following this summer's show at the Purcell Rooms, Warp records standard bearer Mira Calix plays for Phantom Channel at Cafe Oto. With a decade spanning catalogue of explorative, texturally adventurous releases, Mira Calix (aka Chantal Passamonte) has continually worked without creative constraint and can be considered among the standard setters within the electronica genre. Equally as comfortable with fragile field recordings as she is a dance floor threatening beat, Chantal has previously shared bills with the likes of Radiohead, Godspeed! you black emperor, Plaid and Aphex Twin and this is rare opportunity to see her live in such an intimate and personal setting.
Jasper TX
Dag Rosenqvist, aka Jasper TX, is steadily amassing a spectacular body of work. With releases for scene defining labels such as Miasmah, Lampse, Fang bomb and Under the Spire, Dag's blend of subtle electronics, swelling guitar vistas and gossamer fine melodies make him an compelling live performer. This will be the first London Jasper TX show in over two years, and while occupying similar sonic territory to Fennesz, Johann Johannson, Tim Hecker et al, Dag's deftness of touch and expressive dexterity have carved him a very individual niche in contemporary music.
Very much a talent on the ascendence - Boomkat

Simon Scott
Over almost two decades, Simon Scott's career has touched more musical bases than most dare dream of. Record Label owner (Kesh), TV soundtrack composer, Eno collaborator and member of the legendary Slowdive - Simon has recently shared stages with artists as diverse as Machinefabriek and Fever Ray. October release 'Navigare' on Erik K. Skodvin's Miasmah label demonstrates his love of dimly lit soundscapes, shimmering tones, washes of interference and apocalyptic rhythms.
Konntinent
Konntinent is the solo project of London based Antony Harrison. Marrying shimmering guitars, broken electronics, ethereal drones and fragile vocals, his music takes its queues from the likes of Vangelis and Labradford. His second album 'Opal Island' is due for an october release on the pace setting Home Normal label, home to the Boats, Celer and Library Tapes. Live konntinent features cellist Andy Cordle and the vocals/live sampling of Lisa Madisson
