This event is the inaugural show in a planned series of techno and breakbeat events organised by Pluvio, who aims to collaborate with various DJ friends. The kickoff event will occur on April 4th, 2025, at The Venue in Penzance, featuring performances by notable artists Culprate and Omadhaun as the leading DJs on the lineup.
It's been 13 years since Culprate's "Colours" album, arguably his first untethered foray into the realms of IDM. This, succeeded by his most iconic display of meticulously crafted designs "Deliverance", would set Culprate to carry the torch in the world of experimental bass music. Since Cornwall gives home to iconic figures such as Aphex Twin & Luke Vibert, it lends to a passionate culture that thirsts for the dark & quirky, it's any surprise Culprate has not yet graced the Cornish community with these otherworldly productions in a live environment.
This first appearance is made even more exciting with 'Omadhaun' joining to showcase his exploration into the fringes of bass music and beyond. Both have been collaborating and gigging together religiously for the last few years, smashing an insane b2b of original content at last years Boomtown Festival, so having the pair together is a real privilege.
Expect a night of gnarly breaks, the wonkiest garage and blinding techno with all the sprinklings of weird that us Cornish folk crave the most + Support from your favourite south west selectas!
