Demdike Stare is the occult project from Miles Whittaker and Sean Canty. Miles is probably better known as Modern Love's DJ MLZ or as 0.5 of Pendle Coven. Sean Canty is the dedicated digger behind the Haxan events and a member of the hugely respected Finders Keepers crew of vinyl vultures. Their collaborative project tracks the sonic leylines of cult soundtracks, Arabesque dubs and psychotomimetic ephemera with a proper Lancastrian twist. Their first Twisted Pepper show was very special and we are delighted to welcome them back for their second show.

Since their debut show, they have released 'Elemental Parts 1 & 2' - "the material itself features some of the most dense, eerie and evocative pieces ever recorded by Demdike, leavened by an almost industrial sense of rhythmic structure and atmosphere-building that creates a jet-black aesthetic only intermittently illuminated by shards of light” according to their press release.

"Dark, ambient drones tangle with scraps of post-punk and library music, while strains of dubstep and techno settle like pathogens in the bloodstream. If "dark" was the organizing principle of their last album, as Mike Powell said of Tryptych, then "darker" is their current M.O.-- murkier, more oppressive, and more intense" - Pitchfork.

"...where Triptych’s scope seemed to take in Britain’s Northern netherworld in all its diversity, from dark forests to sweeping moors, Elemental feels tailor-made for the decaying former industrial towns and cities that dot the region." - Dusted Magazine
