Vish has been surrounded by a diverse range of music throughout his life, but dance
music has remained a constant. Expect timeless classics blended with fresh, cutting
edge sounds across the spectrum of house and techno - ranging from the deep and
funky to the more percussive and groove-driven. From community radio residencies with Brixton Radio, to becoming a DJ resident with the Let’s Start Here club night,
he has slowly built a reputation across the London Underground with bookings at
venues such as The Greyhound & Planet Wax, to one of the capital’s defining dance
music clubbing experiences at The Cause.

Combining magical 8 bit samplers and cutting edge modern processing techniques; Intertoto's contemporary, immersive sonic experiments allow the mind to wander through hazy textural detailing, rewarding the curious as infinite melodies unravel. Intertoto’s debut album “Thermal Shadow” was released in early 2023 and was evocatively described by Rubadub as “​​Fathoms-deep aquatic rumblings, slow mo tech & dynamic sound design…”. Check out Intertoto's recent mixes for NTS radio and Kindred to hear some of his upcoming and unreleased material.

I adore working with lots of colour and I strive to find rare visual harmonies between tones throughout various moments within the composition. Painting has always been an extremely personal and isolated experience for me, being a meditative process. The pure experience of art personally exists not in looking at the final piece, but within the moment of every brush stroke – the application of medium to canvas.

‍

In the early stages I explored with painting solely from feel - detaching my conscious self from the hand that held the paint brush. Previously, every stroke had to be precise and had to develop into the specific final view that had been decided during composition. It took a lot of practice and experimentation to find my flow – the space in which I now exist in as I paint. In that moment I free the brush, with my eyes acting as a guide in the process.

The less you think about each stroke, the more you enjoy the feel of what you’re looking at.

A guy with magic in his hands and mind. The engineer in me understand logic but the magician shatters all of it to evoke the lost feeling of wonder.

I am a London based designer and final year fashion student at the University of Westminster.

My designs simultaneously challenge and exaggerate gender and identity through strong silhouettes and sculptural corsetry. I predominately work with dead-stock fabrics and incorporate unconventional found materials into my work. I love to create bold and dramatic looks and take a lot of my design inspiration from historical sources.

Domino Roe is a London based multidisciplinary artist working across oil paint, graphite, spray paint, and sculpture. Combining classical figuration with abstraction, she uses the body as a means to explore identity, the self, and the pressures, expectations, and perceptions that shape the experiences of women today. Her work moves between recognisable, rendered forms and distorted, fragmented paint. This tension between figuration and abstraction invites the viewer to look beyond the surface of the image and engage more deeply with the personal narratives within the work.
