ctrl NIGHTS: aim+wall presents: Scratchclart [UK], YCS, Te Doare 18+

Control teams up with aim+wall for an event where UK club culture meets South African rhythms in a genre-blurring journey.

And you don't want to miss the chance to experience Scratchclart this March 20, set to play in Room 1.

Scratcha DVA, with monikers DVA [Hi:Emotions], DVA and more recently Scratchclart is an electronic musician, DJ and record producer. Often associated with labels such as DVA Music and Hyperdub Records, the record producer has a back catalogue spanning six albums, with countless EPs, singles and production credits.

Since 2018 alone, the London-based artist has released 9 EPs and an album as part of the DRMTRK series, which is heavily influenced by South African club music but still sonically rooted in the UK club spectrum. The EPs saw collaborative tracks with producers from Durban S.A., such as Citizen Boy and Griffit Vigo. To date, the EPs have been picked up as one of the most critically acclaimed projects of DVA's career.

His Afrotek EP introduced a cast of appreciated collaborators with whom they explored the continent-crossing lines of connection between the sonic possibilities of UK funky, gqom, grime, and amapiano, serving up five hip-hugging heaters for the dancefloor. 

Bringing more heat to the dance floor, YCS and Te Doare are set to ignite the night with electrifying selections.

YCS is a Bucharest-based artist and DJ who explores cultural aspects of music in relation to new club styles, performance, and club politics. Dedicated to ballroom culture hot bouncy beats are part of her usual sound along side various genres such as reggaeton, jersey club, house and gqom.

Te Doare, rising from Cluj’s underground electronic scene, forged in the residency of the former Gazette club and cultural hub. He has a penchant for various genres, including electronica, post-punk, electro, techno, and more, and his passion for music knows no bounds.
