złom
an experimental sonic scrap yard
złom - Polish for 'scrap metal' - is a series of musical gatherings across London, mixing live acts and djs across genres
we aim to showcase talent from Eastern Europe and create a space for the community, as well as invite artists we believe are making intriguing sounds
złom was started in early 2025 by three friends - twins leisure fm, and omoo
we’re excited to invite Julek ploski to his debut UK performance, as well as welcome back Charlie Osborne to OTO
♪.*⁽⁽ ◝꒰´꒳`∗꒱◟ ₎₎
Julek ploski™ operates fluidly between maximalist, hyper-digital chaos and tender, emotional introspection. He boldly fuses cinematic, symphonic-opera grandeur, high-octane rave beats, lyrical piano melodies, and twisted echoes of trap and metal. Ploski’s music moves through liminal spaces, blending euphoric club energy with a sense of paranoid urgency, all while holding space for inward soft intimacy.
In 2023, he dropped his third album, ‘Hotel*****’ via US label Orange Milk Records. It was soon followed by the EP ‘Matcha Latte, Contemplation’, put out by Polish imprint Dyspensa Records. In 2025, he unveiled his most personal LP to date – ‘Give up Channel’ – a deep dive into the textures of MIDI sound exploring emotionally rich, post-internet sonic landscapes with a fearless genre-blurring approach.
Known for his wild, post-spectacular audiovisual shows, Julek pairs his music with surreal, absurdist digital animations he creates himself. His performances immerse audiences in a unique aesthetic landing somewhere between cinematic melodrama and deep-fried internet nostalgia.
Charlie Osborne (b. 1999, Cardiff) is a London-based artist working across video, performance, music, writing and painting. Working through poetic vignettes, their practice employs a fictive logic to theatricality and the hyperreal. Drawing on horror aesthetics in both style and strategy, the work takes hybrid form—shock-rock essay-concert, noise performance, magical-realist story—shaped by screamo, synth-punk, hypnagogic pop, screaming harmonica, and a never-ending love-story rendered polyphonically. Osborne’s characters, video, sculpture and live shows are conceived as a spiritual dimension, where existential excess and the folly of modernity drive conspiracy and phenomena—replying through a new mythicism.
Osborne graduated with a BA in Fine Art from Camberwell College of Arts in 2021. Exhibitions and screenings include In the Offing (curated by Mark Leckey) at Turner Contemporary, Margate (2023); London Short Film Festival (2022, 2023); BFI Film Festival (2023); and Swedenborg House Film Festival (2023). Between 2022–23, they were a resident artist on the Conditions / ICA Studio Programme, culminating in a screening at the ICA, London (2024). Osborne’s solo show exhibited at Piccallli Gallery (2024) alongside a book and EP release with Ayvan and Odyxxey. Recent live shows include Saatchi Yates, ICA, Cafe Oto and Les Urbaines Festival. Osborne has recently been selected on Film London’s FLAMIN fellowship scheme.
