KASSA Short Circuit w/ Colin Benders

OUR THIRD GATHERING IS A SPECIAL ONE.

Few artists embody pure improvisational freedom like Colin Benders. A peerless live modular techno performer, his powerful, groove-driven performances exist only in the moment. Every show is a visceral dialogue between instinct and circuitry, blending primal energy with technical mastery. Hypnotic rhythms meet raw intensity and unrepeatable experiences that turn the dancefloor into a living, breathing experiment in sound.

Joining Colin Benders for the night are local highlights BIZMUTH + CVRDWELL, LAU and DrinkNoWhine, each approaching live electronic music from a different angle.
BIZMUTH + CVRDWELL present a fully improvised modular synthesizer set, with no pre-written programme or fixed structure. Moving primarily between techno and IDM and strongly rooted in sound design, their two systems continuously react to each other, bringing together organic, darker and driving themes with complex rhythms, abstract textures and experimental electronic sounds.

LAU’s live set is a journey into the deeper layers of her psyche, where warm harmonics, heart-quenching arpeggios and weightless textures meet raw electro rhythms and the pulse of techno. Moving between the intimate and the ecstatic, she builds a shifting landscape of sound with hardware synthesizers, pre-recorded modular rhythms and drums, unfolding like a wave before breaking into euphoric, high-energy moments on the dancefloor.

DrinkNoWhine is more a statement than an alias: an invitation to everyone interested in exploring the transcendent. Deeply influenced by 90s techno, electro and IDM, every set is improvised and unrepeatable, bringing contrasts to life: dance music and experimental, calm and nervous, real and unreal. Playing on hardware, modular synths and custom-made instruments, the project brings raw, heavy sounds to the dancefloor while leaving space for exploration and intuition.
