Ben Frost is doing something rare: making new, experimental and listenable music.

He patches found sounds with crunchy electronics to make intense instrumental sounds which do not want for a vocal.

At times, Frost’s music evokes a nightmarish walk through a pitch-black jungle – and it’s no surprise to hear he wrote much of his recent album Aurora in Democratic Republic Of Congo, while in the country to work on a soundtrack for artist Richard Mosse.

At a strobe-heavy show in Brighton, he had the crowd nodding like zombies to nuanced beats, perfect for films as much as clubs.

Creative, free-style drumming from his session player Gregory Fox, whose dynamic style is somewhere between Buddy Rich and Brad Wilk, took Frost’s purposeful knob twiddling up a notch.

Frost, with a guitar wrapped round his shoulder and in front of a full size mixing desk, made one hour-long mix and a visual and aural assault. He opened with early snippets of recordings of drones taking off, moved through industrial grind to what sounded like rehashed sounds of gorillas, with the odd conventional dance or techno rhythm swept in.

It was impossible to leave without feeling something, which in many ways is all you should ask.
