90mil presents: KULKU & MONOSUM

90mil attempts to forge a psychic bridge between Avon & Spree by hosting a double bill of Berlin cult favourites Kulku and Bristol supergroup Monosum.

Kulku take the long road to ecstasy, bringing something like the transportative, motoric energy of Can and combining it with the wonky palettes of scrapyard stammkunden like Bow Gamelan Ensemble or Zev.

As a seven-member ensemble, they blend influences of early minimal Music, ritual music, and 60s art rock. Kulku describes their music as No-Age, a fusion of raw punk energy and unadorned spirituality. Using a distinctive array of instruments they create a universe of metaphysical stories about enlightened dogs and lost visionaries in the urban jungle of light and shadow.

MONOSUM is a dubbed out noise-pop four piece, bending and blurring the lines between dubwise electronics and playful storytelling. Following a proud west-country lineage of low frequency exploration, they manage to craft a sound that is at once heavy hitting and ethereal.

Pulling wyrd selections for the in-between moments, 90mil in-house DJs Skip & Miri Malek are in service to the general mood of the evening.
