LOST MAP & PRAH ALL DAYER LINE UP

In addition to Lost Map DJs throughout the day:

Callum Easter has always been a force of nature. The Edinburgh-based singer and multi-instrumentalist thrives on impulse and spontaneity, balancing that with an impeccable song writing craftsmanship that makes even the more outré moments of his current batch of mutated soul punk/rock‘n’roll instantly arresting. Released in late November 2021, Lost Map Records and Moshi Moshi Records are proud to present his irresistible second album, System.System was recorded largely alone in Callum’s Edinburgh studio, but bustles with a brash, maximalist vigour, that draws a line under his previous work and charges exhilaratingly forwards – beginning a journey that he describes as a “descent into ordinary madness”.

Lost Map’s Weird Wave - Lost Map Records turns 10 in 2023. To celebrate the occasion, the ultimate Lost Map party band has been formed – a psychedelic-eclectic collective led by the label’s founder and director Johnny Lynch AKA Pictish Trail, featuring a multitude of players to have released on the label over the last decade, including members of eagleowl, Savage Mansion, Kid Canaveral, Tuff Love, L.T. Leif, Tuff Love and more. Titled Lost Map Presents: Weird Wave, the collective will release their debut album of the same name – written and recorded from scratch in the space of a week at the Glebe Barn hostel on the label’s spiritual home the Isle of Eigg, Scotland – on limited-edition transparent vinyl and digital services on October 6, 2023.

Maranta - vocalists, multi-instrumentalists, songwriters and producers Callum Govan and Gloria Black. They were brought together in 2018 through friendship, a love for melodic, leftfield pop and dance music and a mission to make visceral, textured and infectious songs easily translated to the dancefloor. Maranta released their debut single ‘Radiate’ in April 2019 – hailed as “song of the summer” by The Skinny it was later included on The Guardian’s best tracks of 2019 playlist. Their debut EP Care ii Cure followed in July of that year on Paradise Palms Records. Subsequent releases have included a track called ‘Thinking With The Heart’ on Paradise Palms’ Bonnie Tropical 4 compilation, a single with Leith label New Teeth titled ‘Miss Dupé’, and a remix of The Micro Band’s ‘Tried to Kick it But I Missed’

MF Tomlinson - Brisbane/Meanjin born, London based songwriter MF Tomlinson “seems to use music as a means to excavate within the soul” — Clash. Primarily a storyteller, MF Tomlinson negotiates acid folk, alt country, chamber pop to create a singular presence that defies categorisation. 

The Umlauts - formed after meeting together at Wimbledon College of Art, but with two of their four members hailing from mainland Europe, their debut EP ‘Ü’ is a record characterised by cross-border perspectives both stylistically and thematically. The genesis of The Umlauts resides in Stroud, where the group’s song writing duo Alfred Lear and Oliver Offord grew up and started writing together in the Gloucestershire town’s SVA Artspace. Treating the space as something of a refuge in which they could experiment, the pair delved deep into synthesisers and record collections alike, drawn to The Fall and other first generational post-punks like X-Ray Spex, as well as the likes of Bjork and The Knife. Wit addition of lyricists and vocalists Annabelle Mödlinger and Maria Vittoria Faldini that’s crystallised them as a band. Their debut EP is a tightly hewn mix of mechanical synth-pop, spiky no wave and bristling post-punk, with Mödlinger and Faldini’s multilingual lyrics giving it a razor-sharp focus.

Tony Njoku  - Tony is a British-Nigerian electronic music producer and songwriter from London.Raised in between Lagos and London the twenty-three year old has always been a frequent globetrotter with the breadth of his travels reflected in his music. His self-penned and produced songs have been described as 'strikingly evocative soundscapes, managing to make even the shortest pop songs sound like epic adventures.
 

LOST MAP x PRAH HALLOWEEN AFTERPARTY AT THE FLYING DUCK IN COLLABORATION WITH POP MUTATIONS | 10PM - 2PM | ENTRY £10 (includes bus travel from Platform)

Jump on the bus at Platform post-show and head to the afterparty at The Flying Duck - featuring:

uh

The sister-brother duo of Dominic and Fionnuala Kennedy’s debut album ‘humanus’ is embedded in the London that they grew up in – it searches for the space and still that was a hallmark of their previous EP Seasick in Salts, but many of the tracks here are more skittish, urgent and beat-driven. It’s a record that hurtles into the expanse of its surroundings rather than carefully probing them. Amidst its raw acid synths, long form hardware workouts and soaring vocals is an album that’s ultimately about the pair’s own relationship both creative and personal.

Free Love (DJ set)

FKA Happy Meals, Free Love and their music are a conscious study in duality: thumping live tracks and meditational mantras, pop songs and esoteric experiments, acoustic and electronic instrumentation, lyrics in French and English, the Masculine and the Feminine, all side-by-side. Paragons of the cross-pollinating Glasgow DIY scene, their rapturous psychedelic odysseys have been emanating from the city since 2013 via esteemed labels including Night School and Optimo Music.
