Music collectives Décalé and Chinabot join forces for a night of live experimental performances, club beats for nocturnal creatures and existential insurgents.

With a lineup of experimental club producer Ans M (Tobago Tracks/Scorpio Red), Avant-garde percussionist Angela Wai-Nok Hui (nonclassical), DJ Jlte Taygeta (Public Order/NTS) and more, we're celebrating the launch of 5, the five-year anniversary compilation from Chinabot. It's the first collaboration between the two collectives, who are coming together to create an alternative space outside of the constraints of commercialised events in the city.
