Simon Carter & Fabsi (Only UK show of 2025)
Aa mixture of Industrial Techno and Tech Trance tracks often with one theme in mind, that they hit hard on the dancefloor and contain witchy elements either through their lyrics or sound design.

Kalt (France / UK Debut)
French EBM group composed of Arthur65 and Bodyhammer. Inspired by the groups that shaped and wrote the history of Electronic Body Music such as Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Portion Control and attached to pay tribute to it by creating their own sound and visual universe.

Organiser
Beat:Cancer is a charity formed to help fight cancer through funding research, treatment, screening and care using electronic music: We release music, run club nights, host gigs and organise festivals to raise money, which we then grant to worthy institutions such as hospices, research centres and treatment wards.
Reading’s original goth/alternative club, raising generations of goths on whatever we felt was appropriate (or inappropriate) at the time has risen from the grave after the worldwide pandemic reminded us that friends are everything. The regular (and many of the guest) DJs have gone on to run other clubs or form bands across the UK, with many still active in the scene 20+ years later (Don’t do the maths!)
With past guests pulled from clubs across uk clubs as well as international celebrities Seize, Mark Jackson and Daniel Myer.
Since lockdown has eased we’ve taken the chance to finally pull Church of Madness out of it’s long retirement and regenerate into in it’s new quarterly Vs.. mode. It’s almost Church of Madness Turbo edition where our guests could be bringing music from anywhere and everywhere!
Venue
Modern bar and rock club with regular DJ sessions and a reputation for staging wild gigs.
