This Friday join us for the second edition of Kontrast Unwind - a community focused night of sauna, ice, and calming soundscapes curated by

We’re thrilled to welcome & to soundtrack the café from 6.30-10.30pm…

VINDYA
Through exploring possibilities of how her electronic and acoustic worlds may collide, Vindya delved into textured, beat-less and experimental sounds. In an ambient space, she draws on her meditative and hypnotic experiences on techno dance floors, now losing sense of time through a different musical idiom.

CERSY
Liverpool-based artist Cersy has been making waves in the local scene for the last few years. Dedicating the last half a decade to honing her craft, she’s quickly become one of the most well-respected selectors in the city. With a love for all things punk, eccentric, and heavy-hitting, it’s always a pleasure to see what she stirs up behind the decks.
We can’t wait to see another side to Cersy’s sound as we Unwind.
