Sacrifice Zone returns night shaped by artists working at the edges of music, performance and image - from Lord Tusk’s strange and ecstatic underground world, to YEAH YOU’s unruly absurdist reworking of the family unit through electronic dirt-pop, public disruption and anti-spectacle. At its centre is Sacrifice Zone, the collaborative endeavour of Susu Laroche and Josef Kurtz, whose practices move through 16mm film, multidisciplinary performance and darkly psychedelic sound.

DJs Laurie Lynch and TLC23 (Katie Shannon and Keira Fox) open and close a night where music, performance and image start to blur at the seams.

JOSEF KURTZ is an artist based in London.

His work, equal parts emotive & alien, breaks a window into a darkly psychedelic dream state, where genre tropes express and depress themselves in a mania of sounds and textures.

He has performed across the UK, evidence of past outings often washed away like the destruction of a buddhist mandala, remaining only in memory and word-of-mouth. He has recently begun a new emergence.

Susu Laroche

Susu Laroche is an anagram of Chaos Lure Us and a multidisciplinary artist & musician.

Her 16mm short films have screened internationally including at London Short Film Festival (UK), Samawah Cinema (Iraq) and Nihilist Film Festival (USA). A comprehensive DVD collection of her cinematic work was released by Purge.xxx in 2023, while her debut photobook Chaos Rule Us was published by Wrong Eye Books in 2021.

Following releases with Xquisite, Haunter Records and Accidental Meetings, her third album War Against the Lie was released in 2025 on Doyenne, following the launch of a collaborative project with Mobbs on Modern Love.

Lord Tusk & The Shadows

Lord Tusk is a London-based artist who moves through music, visual art, and performance. A fixture in the city's underground, he navigates a diverse creative landscape with a DIY spirit, channelling his vision through his independent label, UltraWaveVisions. His output is a constant stream of studio albums, live shows, and exhibitions, interwoven with forays into musicals, poetry, fashion, and film. Lord Tusk's curatorial touch extends to ÜNDERGØDS, a quarterly club night that has gained a cult following for its eclectic mix of rare, unreleased, and experimental sounds. He invites listeners and viewers to explore the fringes of sonic and visual expression, offering a glimpse into a world where the weird and wonderful collide.

The Shadows features Ku-Ro on Saxophone, backing vocals and FX

With a child like temperament Ku-Ro roams the stage with a tender heart in one hand and chaos in the other. Shedding light on darkness, while trying to find the light in themselves through their raw articulation through lyricism, Saxophone outbursts, fragmented soundscapes that blur the lines between reality and the imagination.

YEAH YOU

To you YEAH YOU are to you a father daughter duo who let music invade the family context. Who let music dismantle the family car, using construct absurdity to redeem resented weekly Tesco shops and traffic jams. YEAH YOU are not who you said we are, but we are that inverted, and battery op. The content shifts depending on how many supermarket discounts we found. Known for their sneak-up picnic public invasions, perform mostly when uninvited but will always jump on chance to berate a strobe-cut stage, brawling electronic dirt pop, words and feet exert integral (instagram) distrust: you won’t hear what you see.

Why who? They only ever wanted to take back their solidarity with inertia. Creeping up behind a ‘don’t bite the hand that feeds you’ cultural climate, striving to unbuckle the gift economy. You let the lesson be yearn inappropriately. Warped into identity politics this could be an anti-formulaic deconstruction of the nuclear family and of psychic uniform, which normative roles serve to sustain. But in itself is just an improv life stream of the bottom 40: from 0 to -40. Diving in with an admittedly involuntary entropic approach, they provide something for all the family to enjoy/not enjoy.

TLC23

TLC23 is the collaborative platform of Artists Keira Fox and Katie Shannon, they explore themes around collective trauma, mania, panic and unravelling personas, within a distinctly feminist impulse.
The collective is rooted in underground and experimental music of the darker ilk, which often plays an integral part of TLC23 happenings and offerings. The project exists at the intersection of music, visual art, performance and DJing, creating curated spaces, collaborating with other artists, musicians and makers, within blurred line environments and
