We are excited to announce that our next REFORMATION event will feature KÜHLE MATROSEN making their UK debut, with support from London's NOTHING NEW Kühle matrosen DIY - Minimal - Synth Wave - Neue Deutsche Welle - Post-punk Based in Hamburg , Kühle Matrosen (KM) features Hubert Kühl (vocals), aka Lars Trombose, and Marc Trose (machines). Their name pays tribute to “Blaue Matrosen” by Der Moderne Man (1982). After years exploring rap, electro, and techno, Lars Kühl took a new direction in 2018, inspired by Andreas Dorau’s performance at Hamburg’s “Hanseplatte.” He shelved his techno records to create a raw DIY sound inspired by early ‘80s acts like DAF. The result: their first tracks “Bräutigam”, “Gold”, and “Theoretisch Magnetisch”, followed by releases on Kernkrach / Hertz-Schrittmacher, Ölband, and Young & Cold Records. With support from NOTHING NEW. Nathan Nothing started a new project in 2019, with the aim of producing synth music that wasn't trying to be anything new. As it has taken over three years to finish any music, this is also not such a new project. There are also several other bands with this name, which fits the theme, but luckily they don't play electronic music. Expect minimal wave and synthpop, with some elements of EBM.

BRUNO AND THE OUTRAGEOUS METHODS OF PRESENTATION - Doo-wop punk / garage-pop and much more "If Mark E. Smith, Captain Beefheart, and Kim Fowley were all raised from the grave by a tweaking necromancer and charged to raise a babe from infancy to teenhood, you might get something akin to Bruno Wilkinson."

Step out of the city and into an immersive woodland for a special show to celebrate Echo Juliet’s new EP, Lift Your Face to the Sun. Echo Juliet uses her first love of percussion as the defining element of her sound. The producer and DJ swapped her classical music degree for Ableton, a midi vibraphone, and decks. A friendly, yet formidable force, her unique live electronic set-up has seen her warm up for Marshall Jefferson, 1-800 Girls, Max Cooper and Anchorsong. Receiving comparisons to Four Tet and Bonobo, her colourful productions dwell on the fringes of club music, leaning towards the leftfield. From high energy excitement to dreamy textures, she draws influence from broken-beat, deep house and classical percussion. Independently releasing her debut EP Abandon Reality in 2023, it was complemented with a remix from award-winning producer Gold Panda, and attracted the support of BBC 6Music tastemakers including Tom Ravenscroft, Nemone, Cerys Matthews, Steve Lamacq and Gideon Coe. She also featured on a compilation alongside electronic icons The Orb and 808 State. Echo Juliet is continuing her dreamy trajectory with 4 new EPs in 2026, which have so far been featured in Bandcamp's Best Electronic list, played on Gilles Peterson's 6 Music show, and seen her named one of DJ Mag's emerging artists to watch.

We are delighted to announce that our next REFORMATION party will feature DER BÜROKRAT making their debut UK gig! Der Bürokrat is the necessary collision of two pivotal trajectories within the European underground. On one side, Ben, the sonic architect behind the electro-dark cult Hammershøi; on the other, Jules, the voice and electro punk-ebm nerve of Zug. Having closed their respective chapters on the stages of major international festivals, the two multi-instrumentalists have merged into an entity that rejects the superfluous. Their synthetic minimalism transforms Italian-French aesthetics into constant tension: a sharp dialogue between Teutonic rigor and Italo-French creativity. Der Bürokrat does not seek space. They occupy it by right. The bureaucracy of rhythm meets the disorder of the soul. 100% Electro-Minimal-Dark-Italo-French wave /// Reformation After-Party until 3.30am with Special Guest DJ's Stanze Fredde /// Presented by REFORMATION CLUB This is an 18+ event

Larimae is a UK-based electronic duo, consisting of Roma Agnihotri and Sam Hughes. After meeting at university, they bonded over a shared love for experimental music inspired by an eccentric lecturer who broadened their perspectives on audio. Shortly after graduating, Roma and Sam started using these ideas, incorporating them into their dance and electronic tracks. Larimae quickly started DJing in London and throwing raves in the UK countryside. During this time, they began testing their music, gradually adapting their songs to suit the environment through tape loops, organic sounds and sampling. Their sound is also shaped by custom synths and instruments hand-made by Roma. Most recently, Larimae remixed singer Ruti’s track “Monster” as part of a remix package. This was alongside a version from Mala and premiered by Mixmag. They are set to release two new singles later this month and are booked to perform at Field Day 2026. Presented by Eat Your Own Ears.

FORM Presents Grumpy \+ Special Guests Grumpy (the collaborative project of Heaven Schmitt) like many great hero tricksters before him, has always been a project of juxtaposition: upbeat radio-ready hits whose buoyant, goofy hooks belie the dark thoughts they describe. Late last year, the Fader praised their “demented, hooky” EP, “Piebald,” whose innovative fuzz-pop confections earned them coverage in NPR and the New York Times. Stereogum heralded them as “wonderfully weird,” and Paste designated them “the best of what’s next.”” Through boisterous collaborations with the likes of Sidney Gish and Claire Rousay, they’ve effortlessly ingratiated themselves with the titans of DIY, and, more recently, Schmitt has become an unlikely favored collaborator of chart-topping country giant Zach Bryan, who named his new record--which prominently features Schmitt’s harmonies--conspicuously, ‘With Heaven On Top.’ Presented by FORM.
