ARTIST COMMUNITY
A whole bunch of amazing creative people who have blessed us with their performances.
Charlie McMahon
My name is Charlie McMahon and I am a fashion and textile designer from the North East of England. My work is inspired by rural textile traditions and bringing them into a high fashion context. My most recent project is inspired by a series of nightmares I had as a child featuring the painting ‘Miss Wong’ by Vladimir Tretchikoff, which hung in my living room when I was growing up. Inspired by the paintings vivid colours and the subjects piercing stare, I have made a wardrobe of clothes for this nightmare woman. Featuring over the top colours and prints that swarm around the body and unconventional silhouettes and pattern cutting, in order to emulate the disorienting feeling of being in a nightmare.
Özten
Özten is a genre-blending DJ and producer who focuses on mixing niche and cultural sounds from her own and the world's. Her sound is a harmonious blend of her Anatolian roots, rap music and contemporary electronic. One of her signatures is breaking the boundaries between Eastern grooves and Western beats, incorporating traditional instruments like the *bağlama* and *ney* into the vibrant realms of techno and house music. Drawing inspiration from the dynamic energy of UK rap, garage, jungle, and drum & bass, Özten infuses her sets with the spirit of community she experienced at events in Bristol and London.
Check out Özten's regular live show on Brixton Radio, where she displays her unpredictable yet satisfying music, blending all the way from house and drill to arabesk and bass music.
