Castles in Space are delighted to be presenting an evening of electronic music from some of the UK's finest practitioners in our home town of Biggleswade for the first time! The BIGG Theatre is a lovely and intimate venue for which we have secured the talents of:

Loula Yorke - UK-based composer, sound artist and modular synthesist. In 2024 she dropped the hypnotically looping Volta album on Truxalis, completed a long-form ambient excursion called "Speak, Thou Vast and Venerable Head" for the wonderful Quiet Details label and issued a new vinyl version of her "A Man On a Galloping Horse Wouldn’t See It" LP via Castles in Space. Loula has also launched a monthly mixtape series documenting her ever-evolving creative process in her Cottage Studio, which has picked up a dedicated following of deep listeners. 

She's also the cover star of the new Moonbuilding zine Issue 6 which features a brilliant interview and a CD album from her as part of the package. This will be available on the evening of the show. 

Jo Johnson’s three-decade musical journey spans punk, techno, and electronic minimalism. A former guitarist in 90s riot grrrl band Huggy Bear, she later joined the Bleep43 collective and founded its label. Her 2014 album Weaving (Further Records) marked the start of a more introspective, improvisational path. Since then, she's released with Castles in Space, Going In, Mysteries of the Deep, and others. Her third album Escape Now is out now on Quiet Details.

Known for her immersive live sets, Jo is a Freerotation resident and has performed at Cafe Oto, The Purcell Room, and Detroit’s No Way Back. She co-curates Bleep43’s deep listening events in London and DJs on platforms like Refuge Worldwide and Monument Waves. In 2024, she contributed to a Huggy Bear retrospective covered by The Guardian.

Ongoing this year, Jo is releasing a slow album, Alterations, track-by-track on Bandcamp, alongside a subscriber project of reworks, field recordings, and photography, which has so far been praised in Moonbuilding, The Wire, and The Quietus.

Robin Rimbaud, aka Scanner, is a British artist known for his boundary-pushing work in experimental electronic music and sound art. Since 1991, he has explored the intersection of sound, space, and genre through acclaimed albums like Mass Observation (1994), The Garden is Full of Metal (1998), and An Ascent (2020).

His projects span large-scale public works and intimate installations, from scoring The Big Dance in Trafalgar Square for the 2012 Olympics to creating Tate Modern’s first sound art commission. Scanner’s work is featured in permanent collections internationally, including the Science Museum London and Centre Pompidou Paris. (I've been to the Paris one. It's awesome.)

He’s collaborated with leading artists and institutions such as Bryan Ferry, Laurie Anderson, Pauline Oliveros, and the Dutch National Ballet—and exhibited globally at venues such as SFMOMA, the Royal Opera House, and Tate Britain. Scanner’s releases so far this year include VITIO and Contrary Motion.

Exclusive merch will be available on the night.
