Past event

This event has passed.

Bantam’s Drift, from artists m3UNTITLED and GOMID, deconstructed Yorkshire club music to examine Bradford’s South Asian youth culture.

Visceral, immersive and speculative, the work dismantled Yorkshire club music through soundscapes and visual experimentation, using haunting refrains of bassline and images of dogs and cars to mythologise Bradford’s South Asian working-class youth culture.

Bantam’s Drift is a music and multimedia collaboration between Bradford multimedia artist m3UNTITLED and Manchester experimental duo GOMID.

Genre: Sound art, UK bass
