We decided to do just one clubnight as part of Counterflows this year, but you are all in for a treat…

After some killer mixes for Clyde Built Radio, Glasgow’s Ira will open the evening with his trademark swinging afrobeats, dancehall and twisted house.

Following on from her brilliant ‘i’m hole’ album in 2021 on Hyperdub, England’s aya comes up to present one of her trailblazing dj sets, winding through her own productions, dubstep, footwork, pop remixed, GQOM, experimental beats and more.
