1tbsp
1tbsp is a house/dance project from Australian artist Maxwell Byrne, a Grammy Award Nominee who is also recognized for his contributions as a songwriter/producer under the alias Golden Vessel. In 2019, Maxwell delved into the realms of house music while curating tracks for his DJ gigs at “Sumoclic Nights”; a monthly event series that he hosted in Brisbane.
This exploration inspired Maxwell to create a variety of original songs for him to include in his own DJ sets, and eventually evolving into a compelling collection of songs that he was excited to somehow share with a wider audience, and ultimately giving birth to his new project, 1tbsp. In early 2021 Maxwell released the project’s debut ep “kanashī,” which was released via the newly founded imprint “Sumoclic”; a new independent record label that he co-owned with his friend Connor Grant (aka Akurei & Harley Girl).
KIIK AMOR
KIIK AMOR / MERVIN WONG / ANDRAS_2020
Wednesday 22nd October
19:00 - 22:00
From Brazil, Andras_2020 blurs club sonics with choreographic intensity; Mervin Wong (Singapore) crafts expansive sound worlds that collapse tradition into futurism; and Kiik Amor (UK) merges experimental electronics with performance art and vocal experimentation. Each artist brings their own approach, shaping a lineup that expands the language of live electronic performance—beyond the dancefloor, into movement, sound, and embodied experimentation. The Flying Duck welcomes the trio, as they bring their joint fall UK/EU tour to Glasgow. 𝗞𝗶𝗶𝗸 𝗔𝗺𝗼𝗿 is a UK-based non-binary/trans artist working across sound, composition, and performance. Their work fuses hyper audio rot, broken pop, deconstructed death metal, and spectral noise into ecstatic live experiences—where ethereal vocals, distorted sonics, and visceral choreography collide in disorienting, angelic soundscapes. 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗻𝗴 Mervin Wong is a vessel of sonic presence. Emerging from Southeast Asia’s shapeshifting aural vanguard, his work traverses the space between deep subconscious ritual and spatial sound performance. With each offering, he invites listeners not merely to hear, but to be transformed by the act of listening itself. 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘀_𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟬 is a rising voice in Europe’s electronic music scene, blending Latin American roots with experimental pop, deconstructed club, and avant-garde textures. Their live shows merge contemporary dance, cathartic vocals, and poetic narratives, exploring survival, transformation, and sensuality.

Ebby (Rotterdam, NL)
With support from Auflauf
The Flying Duck
6th Nov 2025
abcde is the debut album from Ebby, the solo outlet of Doortje Hiddema (also of Sacrificial Chanting Mood). Written and recorded in the solitude of her living room throughout 2024, abcde is an intensely personal statement. A collection of 11 songs full of joy and sadness where rough edges and unfinished thoughts are an essential part of the creative process. The sound is deliberately raw and unpolished, with a sense of almost falling apart—like sketches captured in the moment. ‘I wanted to make an album with the freedom of a child experiencing playing an instrument for the first time’. abcde embraces and celebrates the beauty of imperfection and the fleeting nature of ideas and feelings.

JAMES K
JAMES K
Wednesday 12th November
19:00 - 22:00
James K is a boundary-pushing artist, producer, and vocalist whose work defies easy categorisation. Blending experimental electronics with dream pop, trip-hop, and fractured club textures, her sound is intimate, strange, and emotionally resonant. Since emerging from New York’s underground scene, James K has carved out a distinctive space with releases on labels like PAN, Incienso, and her own label She Rocks!—each offering a glimpse into her otherworldly sonic universe.
Her forthcoming album Friend (out 5th September 2025) marks a bold evolution in her artistry. Lyrically raw and sonically expansive, the album explores the complexities of connection, disassociation, and vulnerability with haunting beauty and sharp clarity. It’s her most accessible and affecting work to date, while still rooted in the experimentalism that defines her voice.
Known for deeply immersive live performances, James K brings her songs to life with hypnotic visuals, textured vocals, and layered electronics. She has collaborated with the likes of Yves Tumor, Drew McDowall, and Aaron Dilloway, and earned praise from outlets like The Quietus, Pitchfork, and Resident Advisor.
For fans of Tirzah, Eartheater, and Dean Blunt, James K is an essential and singular voice in the landscape of forward-thinking music.

KLING KLANG
KLING KLANG / LUCID SINS / AILBHE NIC OIREACHTAIGH
Wednesday 26th November
19:00 - 23:00
Kling Klang are an experimental kraut-punk band from Liverpool consisting of noisy synths and drums. Starting as a trio in 1999, Kling Klang began making music using only cheap keyboards and manually operated drum machines fed through distorted amps. Initially setting out to be a guitar-based rock group, the use of the above instruments was intended only for the first gig to counteract the lack of a full line-up/drummer/etc. But instead, excited with the sonic impact of this accidental setup - they decided to embrace & start writing songs with this new sound.
This line-up went on to release a few 7" singles capturing these askew drone-fuelled yet melodic arrangements, which at the time were enthusiastically received, by John Peel and the underground press.
In 2001 the band became a 5-piece, ditching the drum machines altogether in favour of adding live drums, vintage synths & minimal use of guitar. Releasing the Nexus/Apex single with this new heavier line-up, the band moved further into previously uncharted space-punk terroritory. Following the excitement of this release and their increasingly confident live performances, they were invited by bands such as Mogwai, Stereolab, Clinic and Trans Am to tour with them, regularly sending their partisan crowds away talking as much about the support as the headline act.
In June 2002 the band in collaboration with respected German performance artist/mineralogist Mister B presented the ambitious live performance - "Esthetik Of Destruction". A stunning sound and visual performance situated in a Liverpool warehouse involving 14 televisions converted to transform sound into incredible optical effects.
Their album "ESTHETIK OF DESTRUCTION" was released on Mogwai's Rock Action Records in 2006. It features all of the bands recordings to date, as well as some brand new, previously unreleased material.
-
Lucid Sins are Andreas Jönsson & Ruaraidh Sanachan.
"You stumble through the forest. Alone and far from home. Lost in a world of green. Hidden in the dark. As the light fades you glimpse flickering flame and catch the scent of smoke...
Shadows cast by a low fire take human-esque forms. Leaning in for warmth, they share *TEN TALES OF HOPE AND BETRAYAL, MAGIC AND MADNESS, LOVE AND LOSS*
One-by-one the figures begin to dance and spin as the sound of *OCCULT PSYCHEDELIA* drifts through the trees. With swirling perception you release your grip on space and time...
Around a glowing fire, deep in the woods, LUCID SINS ARE DANCING IN THE DARK...WILL YOU DANCE WITH THEM??"
-
Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh is a viola player exploring the tonal possibilities of gut strings and wood in both amplified and acoustic contexts.
Amalgamations of influences from improvised, traditional and early music styles can be heard on solo recordings Oreing (Fort Evil Fruit 2017), The Rounds (KRUT 2021) and most recently Live At Sonic Acts (Scatter Archive 2023). She lives in Glasgow where she plays in free-improv quartet Dome Riders with Fritz Welch, ArminSturm and Mike Parr-Burman.

Make it stand out
Luna Roja returns to The Flying Duck! Come dance your demons away on Friday, November 28th.
For this third and final edition of 2025, we’ve sent a special mission to Belfast to bring on board the mighty Phil Kieran, who’ll be closing the night with an extended set (4am closing subject to council approval).
A pioneer of electronic music, Phil has been at the forefront of the underground for over two decades. With releases on some of the most respected labels in dance music (Cocoon, Hotflush, Turbo, Electric Deluxe, Optimo Music, Soma, Hot Creations, Kompakt, and Skint), his productions span raw, hypnotic techno, electro, cosmic disco, and leftfield sounds. Alongside his solo work, Kieran also explores a more melodic dimension with his acclaimed Le Carousel project, showcasing the full depth of his artistry.
His versatility has seen him collaborate with and draw inspiration from kindred spirits like Andrew Weatherall, Roman Flügel, David Holmes, and Green Velvet. He’s also the mind behind Leatherette, his celebrated Belfast party, known for its eclectic and adventurous spirit, with special guests such as The Hacker, Sean Johnston, and Optimo to name a few.
Launch control will be in the hands of Luna Roja resident Ángel Negrín and special guest Lovell, who will set the course, raising energy and spirit as the journey unfolds.
A night for musical explorers and cosmic dancers. Join us for this third and unique edition.

Redstone Press & Timescape - Pariah, EM+STAV, Pseudopolis
"Circuits hum like ancient spells as stone makes way for bronze, a shields hammered surface etched with runes now illuminated by elektroid glow."
Pariah (Arthur Cayzer) is a British music producer and DJ based in Amsterdam. He is the co-founder of the Voam record label alongside Blawan (Jamie Roberts), and the two have collaborated extensively for more than a decade, performing and releasing music together as Karenn and Persher. His output reflects a patient pursuit of physical and emotional impact, liberated from genre limitations. His earliest productions cut through the vast murk of late 00’s music blogs found their way into the OG Redstone Press iPod classic. He has continued to release records at a considered, contemplative pace enroute to his acclaimed 2018 album on fabric's Houndstooth label, Here From Where We Are. A run of vital tracks followed such as Caterpillar, Squishy Windows & his remix of Teqmun's "Nettle Dweller", all part spectacular collaborations with esteemed labels like Fever AM, TraTraTrax & Flippen Disks. Whether it's as Pariah, Persher or Karenn, Arthur's music is a memorable swirl of ideas and influences that feels eternally in-progress, waiting for the right collaborators, contexts and crowds to cohere and inspire with rare impact.
+++
Building on their shared exploration of forward-leaning UK club sounds, EM + STAV have firmly rooted themselves in Bristol’s free-spirited music community. The duo focuses on a sound that draws from the city’s bass mutations as a springboard for their own take on modernist dance music. Stalwarts of the UK/EU club scene, they have releases on labels like Unknown Untitled, Integraded, Earful of Wax, Gottwax, and their own imprint, JoyLift. And regularly play at renowned events including Field Maneuvers, Love International, Strange Brew, Berlin’s Paloma Bar & Glastonbury. Em Williams is also recognised for her valuable contribution to the music scene as co-creator of Mix Nights, a DJ course for beginners and intermediates under the Saffron umbrella— a music tech initiative taking an intersectional approach to redressing the gender imbalance in the industry. Known for their bass-heavy, futuristic blend of intricate rhythms, industrial sound design, and experimental elements, EM + STAV continue to push forward-leaning club music while staying true to the core principles of great soundsystem culture.

Danse Macabre's Fifteenth Birthday
A big anniversary for us! Fifteen years of Danse Macabre, and we couldn't have done it without you all. We genuinely thought we'd do it maybe once or twice to see if any of our mates wanted to come along. And now hundreds of you do. :)
From our OGs who remember us valiantly juggling between two laptops and three bags of records down in Sleazys on a Tuesday night, to the new post-lockdown babybat faces who have lit up our nights, and to the parent-and-child combos now coming to the dancefloor, we love you all.
Come celebrate fifteen years, and maybe fifteen more, of your fave LGBTQ+ goth disco.

Barbie at the End of the World
As the cosmic planes become misaligned, world ending chaos will ensue.
For the first time ever, barbie liberation society is opening her doors to the curious public and prospective members. We’re throwing a party at the end of the world at an old club we converted into an underground bunker - wanna come?
Our members can tell you that the magic of a barbie lib party comes from the elaborate storyworld that is built around it - and it is you, the characters, that bring it to life. You may meet some off-kilter personalities and be faced with perilous side quests. There may be surprises in store for you that even I can’t see coming.
My advice to you is this: come as the mighty bitch you wanna be. Think ripped tights and heavy chains, little skirts and big guns. Build a character for yourself, choose your fighter. It’s your last day on this stupid little planet, who do you wanna be when the last light goes out?
We’re gonna be partying like it’s the last time so we gotta make sure we’re playing all the bangers the human race had to offer. We’re thinking dizzee rascal, a. g. cook, ke$ha, the “i just shoved a nuke up my pussy” guy, you know, the classics. DJ sets by netgf, babyteeth, hexvexx and friends.

LINEUP// --SONIKKU Headlining DRIP 4.0 is SONIKKU, the visionary London-based producer, DJ and songwriter whose futuristic pop sensibilities meet the pulse of the club. Fusing euphoric synth melodies, glossy rhythms, and left-field electronic textures, SONIKKU’s sets blur the line between rave and fantasy.

Expect a playful, bouncy and unforgettable club experience.

Their sound is drenched in heavy basslines, Gqom rhythms, and untamed tribal percussion. Though firmly rooted in breaks and bass, Tekhole takes an experimental approach to sound, often blending field recordings & deconstructed drums into their live sets to build dynamic soundscapes that seamlessly weave between electro, techno, and UK Funky. Their genre-unconstricted approach has led them to support the likes of Sherelle, Martyn Bootyspoon, Sama’ Abdulhadi & Neffa-T, and more.

Their sets bend genres and timelines, remixing sonic textures familiar to many growing up across the global majority, yet re-presented through digital, futuristic transformations. Blurring past and future, intimacy and intensity, 3MR creates spaces of collective resonance and liberation. They are also the co-founder of QIWA and DRIP. >

THE MIRACLE SEEDS
THE MIRACLE SEEDS / ATOLL BLUES
Friday 19th September
Scottish psych 4-piece The Miracle Seeds play their first headline show since the release of their sophomore album Nuclear Watermelon. Expect explosive fuzzy riffs, face melting guitar solos, and expansive psychedelic jams; with didgeridoo, saxophone and tanpura to add to the equation. For fans of The Black Angels, Ty Segall and Brian Jonestown Massacre.
"Back when The Miracle Seeds first broke cover with Inca Missiles in 2021, they sounded like a group possessed by restless curiosity. Dundee-born but world-minded, weaving strands of Andean folk into modern psych riffs that felt equal parts spiritual and stormy. That record announced them as something special, a project that worked with big ideas and built them into its foundations. All signs pointed to something brewing."
"And it lands here, on Nuclear Watermelon. This is an album designed for live rooms, big amps and bigger spaces. The guitars are bolder, the jams stretch further, the songwriting sharper than ever. Across nine tracks, they’ve pushed the envelope without losing what made them magnetic in the first place." - Static Sounds Club

Known for blending deep, hypnotic grooves with high-energy moments, his sets are unpredictable in the best way. Expect a night loaded with exclusive cuts, unreleased tracks, and the kind of immersive energy that leaves the dance floor buzzing long after the lights come up.
Joining Noah on the night will be Glasgow duo - Outflight

Luna Roja
Luna Roja returns to The Flying Duck!
Come dance your demons away on Saturday, July 26th.
The night will kick off with the sweet sounds of Jamie’s Cosmic Dub Disco, who'll be spinning records to initiate movement through the galaxy (as heard weekly on his Sunny G 103.5 FM radio show).
Illogical Operator brings his dose to the ward with sounds straight from the Wrong Party cosmos, the Southside’s famous and fantastic weird free monthly party, where he’s a resident.
Ángel Negrín, resident of Luna Roja, will bring a space for release through hypnotic loops, unexpected turns and warped sounds, in the hunt of collective liberation.
Kairogen, a powerful piece of Glasgow’s underground, will bring focus and force for a blend of deep driving frequencies, to embrace the transformation. Join us for this second and unique edition!
Follow Luna Roja on Instagram for exploring and discovering new music weekly, and to be informed about our upcoming nights.
Sunny Side Up!
After six years, Sunny Side Up! returns to the city where it all began. A lot has changed, but what hasn’t is the love we have for this community and for the artists who’ve been with us along the way. This edition welcomes back artists that we call family.
We’ve reworked our donation model. Each event will now support local grassroots organizations working to build community resilience. This time, we’re proud to support MILK Glasgow.
⋆⁺₊⋆ MILK Glasgow ⋆⁺₊⋆ Profits from the event will go to MILK, a beautiful social enterprise and community space that supports women from all walks of life. Their work centres around community integration, especially for women from migrant, refugee, and asylum-seeking backgrounds.
LINEUP:
⋆⁺₊⋆ Raf Reza ⋆⁺₊⋆ The Bangladeshi-Canadian producer’s debut album Ekbar fuses dubwise textures with UK sound system culture, Baul traditions, and influences from his time in Tokyo, Toronto, Glasgow, and Bangladesh. Raf will perform a live set, bringing Ekbar’s rich sonic world to life. This will be special!
⋆⁺₊⋆ Sebastian Swarm ⋆⁺₊⋆ Sebastian Swarm is a Glasgow-based DJ, musician, and visual artist. He co-founded Lunacy in 2014 and recently launched Glass Tank, a creative audio-visual hub for Glasgow’s underground. His sound moves from oddball radio selections to high-energy blends of italo, wave, and electro, with releases on Land of Dance, Meta Moto, and Huntleys & Palmers.
Joining them will be Sunny Side Up! residents PhatButcher and Lyla ᡣ𐭩

Danse Macabre - Pride Special
Looking for somewhere cheap, dark, and sweaty to go to after Pride? Whether you’ve been out on the march, in the No Pride In Genocide bloc, having Soft Drinks(TM) in QP, or just resting away from the madness of the outside world: we’re here for your evening.
No guest DJ or £12-20 entry, just your fave queer goth night ready to melt your makeup. Last year’s Pride DM was the busiest night we’ve ever had, we’d love to see you all back again.
This month, we will also be taking donations at the booth, at the desk, and with a portion of ticket sales, to Diabetes UK, in memory of a loved one.
Please also note we will have at least one photographer out: their contact details will be printed on signs on the walls/doors in case you wish to not be in any shots we put up publicly. You can also contact us directly via info@danse-macabre.co.uk if that’s easier.
// ENTRY
Standard: £5 advance, £7 OTD Trade Unionist: £3 advance, £5 OTD Unwaged: £0
Tickets on the door can be paid for by cash or card. Access to the event is at the venue and cash desk’s discretion, even with a ticket.
Please help keep our space safe for everyone.
// ACCESSIBILITY
The venue is a basement venue, accessed down a flight of stairs. If you wish to discuss ways to access, please contact the venue directly.
We will be using mostly low lighting and smoke machines, visibility may be limited. Audio levels should be loud enough to dance to, but low enough that you shouldn’t need to raise your voice to chat. If you need earplugs, please ask bar staff or DJs.
All toilets are gender-neutral. There are two sets, both to the right-hand side of the stage.
Danse Macabre operates a strict safe space policy and will not tolerate bigotry of any kind. Anyone who feels uncomfortable, harassed, or in danger, should immediately come to the DJ booth, and a member of venue staff or security will be called if required.
Our full policy is available on our website.
