A Weekend of Alternative Roots Music In Belfast

LA born, Barcelona-based, audiovisual artist Grey Filastine and Javanese indie vocalist and rapper, Nova deliver the grittiest transnational bass music around.

Low frequency pressure collides with top-notch beat science to create what Prefix Mag calls “the prototype of globalized urban sound”. It’s a music that Pitchfork describes as “awesome and delicate ... hybrids so fluent they defy classification” and we can’t disagree. Filastine borrows from hip hop, moombathon, dubstep and cumbia, drawing sounds from across the globe, to create incredible canvases for Nova to place her vocals. The sheer number of influences and globally plucked sounds creates a journey unlike anything you've ever heard. Add timed, triggered, and manipulated visuals to the mix, and you’ve one of the most mesmerizing shows imaginable.



Highly charged, highly political, and incredibly visceral, we are delighted to bring Filastine to Ireland for the very first time.



“Filastine creates tracks so geographically and chronologically diverse that they sound less like “world” music and more like music from another world.” Pitchfork
