CTM 2025: RSO Club Night

Final tickets available on the door subject to capacity.

Our first-time collaboration with cutting-edge Australian arts organisation SOFT CENTRE includes a dedicated floor of late-night oriented live and DJ sets. Female Wizard’s cross-genre DJ set will baffle the binary, delaying gratification and embracing dissonance to transform hedonism into an act of defiance. Blended tempos with visceral intensity mirror her fascination with the fragility and power of breath, a recurring motif in both her music and performance art. On-the-rise rapper, producer and performance artist SOLSA will join forces with SoundClown and SOFT CENTRE co-director Thick Owens to unveil an itinerant new live set. Expect deft and irreverent lyrics, unhinged stage theatrics and razor-sharp production, mashing gnarled strains of gutter rap, freetekno, industrial and bush doof-inspired squelch. As a solo electronic musician R. Rebeiro explores probability as an artistic methodology to enact rhythmic expression. Combining analogue grit and digital precision by the use of manipulated drum machines and Max/MSP, R. Rebeiro’s set will unleash lazer sharp generative rhythms to explore ideas around cause and effect, variation, acceptance, and deep listening. Under the moniker NERVE, sonic architect Joshua Wells forges tracks that feel like precision-tooled machinery breaking free of its programming, fusing elements of drum & bass, jungle, industrial, electro, and noise into dense, kinetic compositions that pulse with both mechanical intensity and organic chaos. Closing the floor, Argentinian DJ and Latin Grammy winner Tayhana’s sets are a collision of pulsing energy and fearless experimentation—seamless kaleidoscopes of mutant techno, cumbia turra, ballroom, and Brazilian batucada to fill minds and feet with the fires of resistance and celebration.

On the Robus floor, Karina Utomo (RINUWAT, Kilat) will bring blackened vocals drawing from extreme metal, Javanese mythology, and the outer edges of human vocal expression, weaving together themes of tradition and defiance. She’s joined by Joshua Wells (A Colourful Storm, Downwards) purveyor of extreme rhythmic programming traversing drum and bass, noise, electro and dark ambient, and R. Rebeiro (HTRK, My Disco), who subverts traditional percussive modes such as Japanese gagaku and Indian Tabla, to coax rhythms that flicker between precise pointillism and metallic thunderclaps. Taking drum & bass and giving it a sparkly, hyperactive remix straight from the heart, gyrofield is pure internet-born magic. Growing up in Hong Kong, her online exploration coded her music with dreamy synths, growling basslines, and rhythms with big, emotional cores, powered by the kind of cute-chaotic energy we could all use more of. Montréal-based Marie Davidson moves between the hypnotic pulse of techno and the ethereal drift of ambient music—often dark and heavy, yet with winks of humour and a sense of mischievous fun beneath the surface. She will premiere a new live show for CTM around her upcoming record City Of Clowns, released on Soulwax's DEEWEE imprint, together with Dutch artist Nick Verstand. Renowned for creating interactive installations that blend light, sound, and spatial design—allowing environments to dynamically respond to visitors' movements and emotions in real time—Verstand crafts immersive spaces that provoke deep introspection and a heightened sensory awareness.

Oldyungmayn ignites dance floors with the unruly energy of 90s rave, underpinned by cutting-edge sound design and the vibrant pulse of Middle Eastern club music. Merging hyper-industrial abrasion with a sense of longing, kinship, and transformation, his frequent collaborator Van Boom operates from the periphery, crafting a cathartic alchemy of fragmentation and crescendo—venomous yet tender. rRoxymore draws from a wide palette—house, dub, UK bass, leftfield techno, breaks, and jazz—blended into hypnotic, crystalline patterns emerging from a custom sound bank painstakingly built over years of experimentation featuring percussive textures and shimmering synths both tactile and ethereal. She’ll go b2b at CTM with Deena Abdelwahed, the Tunisian powerhouse whose influences range from the propulsive rhythms of Egyptian mahraganat to shaabi wedding songs and dabke, layered with shape-shifting basslines and metallic edges: designed for the dancefloor but writhing with complexity and depth.
