Sound is now, Sound is here.

ABSTRACT CONCRETE is another big step for UK underground heavyweight Charles Hayward, joined by some of the most exciting and forward-thinking young London players from a diversity of European underground and experimental scenes; Agathe Max, Roberto Sassi, Yoni Silver & Otto Willberg.

This is music which spans a wide emotional landscape focussed on connection and communication using a genre fluid sound world of song, groove and fire with all the lyrical intensity the world demands right now. And what we all need on day 3 of Fat Out Fest.
