Pioneers of New Turntablism, Maria Chávez, Evicshen (aka Victoria Shen) and Mariam Rezaei come together in this historical, head-scrambling, boundary-shattering trio. The group weave together elements of musique concrète, free improvisation, noise, techno and hip-hop with instrument building and modification. Each artist has a wildly different approach to turntablism. Techniques deployed to create their dizzying sets include scratching, beat-juggling, sampling and looping, while the technologies include double-needle-head shells and acrylic needle nails. The trio’s compositional aesthetics combine sound sculpture, maximalism/minimalism and sonic destruction. Together, they show that New Turntablism is beyond technique, genre or compositional theory; it’s about the unknown. This important project represents the first time three female turntablists of colour have come together in this way.

Having graced the cover of The Wire (April 2023) and performed headlining slots at vital European and UK festivals including Rewire, Donau, Counterflows, the trio now have their sights on North America for 2025.
