In the order the promoter listed them.
Set times were not published.
90mil attempts to forge a psychic bridge between Avon & Spree by hosting a double bill of Berlin cult favourites Kulku and Bristol supergroup Monosum.
Kulku take the long road to ecstasy, bringing something like the transportative, motoric energy of Can and combining it with the wonky palettes of scrapyard stammkunden like Bow Gamelan Ensemble or Zev.
As a seven-member ensemble, they blend influences of early minimal Music, ritual music, and 60s art rock. Kulku describes their music as No-Age, a fusion of raw punk energy and unadorned spirituality. Using a distinctive array of instruments they create a universe of metaphysical stories about enlightened dogs and lost visionaries in the urban jungle of light and shadow.
MONOSUM is a dubbed out noise-pop four piece, bending and blurring the lines between dubwise electronics and playful storytelling. Following a proud west-country lineage of low frequency exploration, they manage to craft a sound that is at once heavy hitting and ethereal.
Pulling wyrd selections for the in-between moments, 90mil in-house DJs Skip & Miri Malek are in service to the general mood of the evening.

MONOSUM (Bristol, UK) is a dub/trip hop/bass crew, playing heavy-hitting, deep-bass compositions born of improvisation, leaning towards the dark and ethereal. A multi-limbed creature, bending and blurring the lines between dubwise electronics and playful storytelling. “Supergroup, perhaps? Bristol’s finest, most definitely... This Megazord of musical magic comes from the hearts and minds of Grove, t l k, BIPED, EJ:AKIN and O’Lenahan. All established artists in their own right, this project only cements their capabilities as performers and acutely aware and intentional improvisers. Deep, heavy hitting and dubbed-to-heaven...” - Elevator Sound“dj/live/production ____ leftfield bass + part of Dwam, the interdisciplinary arts platform & event series Bookings: mmalek @ live dot com”
