Hello Thor - Maria Uzor + Polypores + Remi Fox-Novak + Dog Explosion

About this event

An evening of experimental electronic music in the warmth and magic of By Our Hands We Make Our Way with:

MARIA UZOR
Formerly one half of revered punk-funk duo Sink Ya Teeth, Norwich-based artist Maria Uzor released her debut solo album, Soft Cuts, on Castles in Space in 2023. Showcasing Maria’s eclectic taste - from UK Garage to Siouxsie and the Banshees, dubstep to disco - Soft Cuts mixes electro, avant-pop, techno and dub to create an infectious, expansive, groove-based world of sound. Hypnotic vocals weave together with cosmic, kaleidoscopic beats - defiant, joyful, experimental. Maria has collaborated with A Certain Ratio, !!! and Acid Klaus. A mesmerising performer, she has played at festivals including Supernormal, Manchester Psych Fest, Nox Orae (Switzerland) and The Great Escape.

“Soft Cuts has dub, electro, acid, EBM, dreampop, postpunk and trip-hop in its production genes; its spontaneous feel gives the sense of full artistic realisation.” The Quietus

POLYPORES
Polypores is the work of prolific Preston-based electronic musician Stephen James Buckley. Polypores paints music with a modular synthesizer, drawing influence from ambient, new age and experimental electronics. A riveting artist and performer, Polypores channels the weird and wonderful energies that make up his fractal musical universe - his music soars, bubbles, crackles and soothes, in ever-shifting, immersive cosmic landscapes. His latest album, Wrigglers – just released on Crackedankles Records – is another jubilant and absorbing tapestry of melody and chaos. Warm, woozy, unpredictable, bright, optimistic – downright awesome.

REMI FOX-NOVAK
A founder member of the industrial electronic collective Surfacing, Remi Fox-Novak has been contributing to the Midlands’ DIY music scene for well over a decade, making music which is urgent and compelling but also a whole heap of fun. Remi released his latest album Free Markets in 2025 – a beautiful, expansive, freewheeling record which takes the listener on a journey through psychedelic techno, ambient electronica, absorbing rhythms and rich, colourful sound design.

DOG EXPLOSION
A truly unique artist and a seasoned Nottingham performer, Dog Explosion is a one-man electronic post-punk firestorm, combining big band baritone vocals with distorted electronic rock and banging 90s rave. Intense, industrial, idiosyncratic.
