Missing Music (Suren Seneviratne) is a prolific Sri Lankan sound artist based in London and Kent, UK. His conceptual project Missing Music meticulously documents obsolete music software, VST plugins and sound tools designed for Macintosh computers during the 1990s and 2000s. Originally conceived as an online repository boasting over 300 archival entries, the project has since transformed into a dynamic live audio-visual improvisation featuring Apple iBook and PowerBook computers authentic to the Y2K era.

YKLU & Danny present “The Joanne Duo,” expanding on their work reinterpreting East Kentish vinyl to memorialise forgotten sounds. Channeling the organ and voice-led music of the original 1977 Duo – who recorded in Deal for ERON Enterprises while touring Thanet clubs and German army bases – they combine contemporary tech with period ephemera like a live Lurkers recording in Margate. Through multi-instrumentals, live electronics, voice, and homemade instruments, they create a sonic landscape of improvisation, critical nostalgia, and archive performance.

Tomas Jefanovas is a Lithuanian, Margate-based multidisciplinary artist exploring experimental electronic sound and visual processing. Combining analogue and digital methods, his practice merges sound and image into immersive live sets built around minimal structures, rhythms and noise-driven textures. He works with hardware synthesizers and drum machines, and generative moving image. He is the co-founder, curator, and creative director of the Margate Electronics project.

Soborgnost is Jim Osman, sci-fi dance punk at the intersection of vaporwave, minimal wave, disco dub, industrial, EBM, proto-house, drone and noise. His DJ sets are of the same liminal space between black dance music and avant-garde experimental weirdness.
