The Assembly (map)
MAMMÚT were founded in down town Reykjavík by five thirteen year old kids back in 2003. They have grown well known in their home country, Iceland, with more than 6 singles hitting the top of the charts on the national radio station and two gold records.
Their third album, Komdu til mín svarta systir, won them three out of seven nominations at the Icelandic music awards for best song (Salt) best album and the best album cover of the year.
In 2015 they signed to Bella Union, a London based record company and their first label outside Iceland. A few months later they released an EP, Rivers End. In 2017, the 14th of July, their debut LP Kinder Versions was released outside of Iceland.

Alien Lullabies - Fiona Soe Paing
The Tunnels (map)
Alien Lullabies is a dark and mesmerizing audiovisual performance, combining Fiona Soe Paing's music and live vocals with projected animation, to evolve into a surreal live gig/cinema hybrid. The work is visually stunning, sonically inventive, physically and emotionally engaging and highly immersive.

(Rave Child)
"This is electronic music as it should be..."
(David McElroy, XS Noize)

(Festivals for All)
" Very, very cool..." (Vince Clarke, Erasure/Depeche Mode)

'Bleeping paranoia and eye-grit funk. Confident if still as nasty.' - Q MAGAZINE
'More seductive than their bracing debut . . . Pleasure wins out on White Glue.' - THE WIRE
Recorded at Benge's MemeTune Studios, Wrangler's latest album White Glue (released in September 2016) features 9 new tracks by Stephen Mallinder (Cabaret Voltaire), Phil Winter (Tunng) and Benge (John Foxx & The Maths). Their debut album, LA Spark (released in 2014) was described by Q Magazine as 'creepy and brilliant, music you can dance to while looking over your shoulder. The best kind of music.' According to Uncut, 'LA Spark is a compelling listen with former Cabs vocalist sneering on the imperious title track. He's still got it.' Meanwhile, in June 2016 Wrangler released Sparked: Modular Remix Project. Filled with mixes by the likes of Mute founder Daniel Miller, Chris Carter from Chris & Cosey, Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails) and Scanner, it's an expansive, sprawling canvas of analogue sound, spread across a double gatefold album and created exclusively on modular systems.
'No-one can sneer quite like Mallinder.' - MOJO
'Deliciously wonky squelchfunk.' - UNCUT
Over the last 3 years Wrangler have toured across the UK, Europe and Japan and recently played at the Royal Albert Hall as special guests of John Grant (15th June, 2016). They also joined forces with the US singer at an October 2016 show in the Barbican, London, where Grant and Wrangler played a unique new collaborative set as part of Rough Trade's 40th anniversary celebrations.
