****&c. brings raw, blown-out bass from a stack of GameBoys, calculators, and modular gear. This is low-bit pressure music — jagged, cheeky, and often surprising.

Tanis Silke Nielsen, the Aarhus-based artist behind ‘****&c.’, uses a mix of so-called “obsolete” tech to make music that feels oddly futuristic, fusing methods from IDM, breakcore and dub, through the lens of chip music.

Silke’s sets live in the tension between grimy playfulness and the unaliased, unapologetic “sketchyshit” expression, held down by a rhythm section that alway shits too hard. It’s music that shouldn’t work, on machines that barely do.
