A producer and multidisciplinary artist with links to projects by Optimo Music, Hyperdub and London’s ICA, Venus Ex Machina inhabits the radical realms between electronic music and sound design. Her Bleep mix is an excellent example of just how diverse and exciting this contemporary space is — and the avant-electronica names on the tracklist have featured heavily on our turntables too. The earthquaking stomps of Tzusing’s ‘Shame’ morph perfectly and noisily into the sharp Farsi rhymes of Loraine James and Tardast’s track ‘Marg’, as Venus Ex Machina selects two experimental dub nightmares from Hyph11e before simmering down with the grizzled synth wash of Mica Levi’s ‘Guerreros’.
