’Hypnotic’ is a term over-used by music reviewers, though this couldn’t have been more apt for this varied line-up with one thing in coming: the ability to induce an almost trance-like state of contentment in its audience.

Opening the night was Melbourne-via-Brighton DJ, Drill Folly, AKA Sarah Phelan, who provided an early slab of gristly electronica blending elements of Warp-style glitchiness, bass-heavy dubstep, industrial metal and even almost-traditional clubbing fare. Unusually accessible for such a racket, this was the perfect start.

Nope, featuring members of cultish Leeds psyche-rockers Hookworms, was simply delicious from start to end. With elaborate proggy rhythms sprawling elegantly and the smoothest of subtly infectious guitar riffs, this two-drummer foursome sounded simultaneously chaotic yet controlled with pinpoint precision.

Headlining, Tokyo instrumental trio Nisennenmondai, named after the millennial Y2K computer bug, indeed, sounded almost like something was going wrong. Essentially playing ambient dance music imbued with Krautrock minimalism, there was the overwhelming sense of building to some musical climax, though always being diverted, in the style of a vinyl track skipping.

Of course, this was the point and the result was gloriously immersive. A mere three tunes blended into one long, near-meditative set, satisfying in an entirely untraditional way.
