Oval

This gig is for a seated audience.
Tickets £10 / £8 concessions.
Doors open 7.30pm, starts 8pm.

Trailblazing ​glitch masterpieces​ (1990s), delicate, hyper-real, ​futuristic​ post-rock vignettes​ (after 2010) and now abstract club bangers​ with a delicious twist - Markus Popp aka Oval continues to be one of THE most prolific, influential creative forces in contemporary electronic music. Every Oval album is a unique, shape-shifting celebration of innovation, skill and sensibility.

In an age of shallow spectacle, ​Popp keeps going on his deep dives, always ready to reinvent and surprise - merging uncompromising high tech with compelling musicality. Popp is distinctly doing his thing, yet always enthusiastically dealing with the “here & now”.

No one out there plays the computer quite like him. 

“Oval’s Markus Popp is one of the few electronic artists to provide a strong challenge to Aphex Twin and Autechre’s well-guarded thrones” – TREBLEZINE

“With Popp, the only thing that’s for sure is that nothing’s for sure, which is why he has remained relevant for so long, and why we suspect he’ll remain relevant for decades to come.” – A CLOSER LISTEN

“It’s a great example of Popp’s talent for making ambitious experiments sound both playful and coy.” – PITCHFORK

“Oval’s thirst for merging new sounds never ends” – FREQ
