\nThe enigmatic world of Hype Williams is one that’s submerged in vintage drum machines, detuned synth washes, disembodied vocal samples and rolling sub-bass. \u00a0The Berlin-based duo’s live shows are a mysterious proposition, blurring the lines between music, media installation and art happening.
\nNot Squares formed in 2008 off the back of a drunken conversation held in a dark alleyway about how Belfast needed a party-band. \u00a0Debut album ‘Yeah OK’ was released in November 2010 on the Dublin-based label Richter Collective.
\nThird Man Theme make music that blends together a range of musical interests, including Talking Heads, Can Neu!, The Beach Boys, The Modern Lovers, Spiritualized and Lizzy Mercier Descloux. \u00a0The result is sometimes (post-) punky, sometimes drony, sometimes edgy, sometimes sweet, sometimes all at once.<\/p>\n
