Dungeon #7 - Plastik Press, Intersekt, The New Existentialists
Whammy Backroom - Thursday 14th September
Plastik Press
Plastik Press is the solo project of Will Gresson (The Old Dream of Symmetry, Guilt Grip). Started in March 2020 in Berlin, Germany during the first of several massive lockdowns, the project was initially a way to revisit old demos and sketches and turn them into new music via sampling on a simple laptop setup. The band's music merges heavily altered digital soundscapes with field recordings and acoustic instrumentation.

Intersekt
Intersekt (she/they) is a sound designer, DJ and producer from Aotearoa. Her work is primarily music which synthesizes pop, experimental electronica, plunderphonics and musique concrète. Engaging with thinkers like Svetlana Boym and Jose Munoz, her primary focus is using nostalgia as both a critique and celebration of the past that we might move towards a queer and brown horizon. Other topics of interest include posthumanism and the developing world of post-postmodern philosophy.

The New Existentialists
The New Existentialists, the West Auckland rock ensemble led by long-haul underground musician George D. Henderson (The Spies, The And Band, The Puddle, Mink), were once overheard describing their music as a mixture of freakbeat, softcore, and austere psychedelia. Their latest single and video is the doom metal climate horror trip INVOCATION, and a follow-up to their popular Last Days Of The Internet EP is brewing.
