Our Carlson is coming to Eora/Sydney to rant about ableism, trauma, capitalism and ciggies. A wild 2 years has seen Our Carlson on esteemed festivals like Inner Varnika, Rising and Meredith.  Ranting over Breakbeats Jungle and Dub about lived experience of living with epilepsy, depression, anxiety, PTSD. It is dark but full of humour. Support Lucy Cliche will be warming up the room with her live hardware driven industrial electro and techno.

Our Carlson is disabled but fully aware of the patriarchal privilege he has grown up under. The normalisation of menstruation, the smashing of the patriarchy and fact that disabled people are sexy will be the themes of the day. After being diagnosed with epilepsy at age 33, Our Carlson’s frustration with the medical system and the fragility of the human mind has exploded into the formation of Epileptic Dance Music (EDM) DJ Cash Daddy (Cash Savage) will be laying down the tracks with a good chance of a bit of banter.
New single Hyperbolic Paraboloid is out now on BDSM-420 Records.

Wade through the trauma with My Carlson, Your Carlson, Our Carlson.
Lucy Cliché is an ever evolving project exploring intersections between techno, industrial and electro. As a producer first and foremost she employs an all hardware set-up delivering a hard bitten exploration of how physicality and the ethereal can interact in music – heavy bass rhythms lock into pounding drums, washed over with synth chords and acid bleeps. She's released music on Fleisch (Berlin), Noise In My Head, Body Promise and Altered States. In recent years she's increasingly enjoyed dabbling in DJing the music of other producers she admires across time and space, from industrial throbs to new beat bounce.
