James Holden & Maalem Houssam Guinia
Rewire initiated a one-off collaboration between James Holden and Maalem Houssam Guinia: an intriguing combination of traditional and futuristic music. In 2014, James Holden left (together with Floating Points) towards Marrakesh, to become part of a residency with Maalem Mahmoud Guinia. This co-op has been recorded and released as their EP Marhaba. Last year the late Maalem Mahmoud Guinia passed away and his son, Maalem Houssam Guinia, took over; upholding the rich African Gnawa-tradition
Peverelist (UK) is a driving force in modern Bristollian electronic music. Coinciding with seismic shifts in the broader UK music scene, and during his decade managing the crucial Rooted Records store, Peverelist curated a new label, Punch Drunk Records in 2006. After releasing his own, critically acclaimed, debut 12″ singles, his own style led the zeitgeist of the second generation UK dubstep sound and he began to carve his own niche, in his own inimitable style.
Mikael Selfu
Mikael Seifu is an Ethiopian electronic music producer committed to “Ethiopiyawi Electronic” – a coinage Seifu uses to describe the music he and his peers are producing in Ethiopia’s capital city of Addis-Ababa. His novel approach to music sounds like a seamless blend of Ethiopian music with the rhythms and sonic qualities from a wide range of electronic styles – from house to garage and beyond.

Olivier Messiaen / Pierre Henry – Timbres-durées
During the year 1952, the French composer Olivier Messiaen – one of the leading composers of the 20th century – wrote his one and only electro-acoustic work. He wrote Timbres-Dureés in cooperation with Pierre Henry, who was by then a pupil of both Messiaen and musique-concrete pioneer Pierre Schaeffer. Messiaen used concrete sounds from daily life, especially water flowing from the tap. Although Messiaen himself was dissatisfied with the end result and withdrew the work officially from his catalog, there’s enough reason to perform it: Timbres-Durées was and is far ahead of its time. It appears, at the time of epic collage (which is very prominent in this year’s Rewire edition), to be a precursor for today’s movement. The piece will be performed prior to Ash Koosha, Total Freedom and Amnesia Scanner. The venue will be darkened, as they used to do back when Timbre-Durées was composed.
Ash Koosha
Tehran-born and London-based, Ash Koosha creates music that is stripped of genre, style and conventional structure. His training in classical music and his early interest in computer music has equipped him with the necessary tools to construct, break, form and deform music at the same time. The result is sound that is fragmented, unearthly yet natural, collage-like yet seamless.
Jlin
Jerilynn Patton (US) is one of the most prominent female footwork producers of the current generation, pushing the genre forward and ‘moving the genre beyond the dancefloor’. Her critically hailed 2015 debut-album, Dark Energy, combines feverish rhythms with mangled vocal snippets. The music sounds forceful, yet ripples with colour; an intense, solid sound with rugged rhythms that stop and breathe and roll out in unusual staccato patterns.
Mykki Blanco
Mykki Blanco is an American writer, activist and international performing artist. As a gender-bending riot grrrl rapper she is known for her extravagant and frenetic shows. She worked with some of the most innovative electronic producers in rap, including Gobby, Brenmar and Matrixxman. Blanco’s live performances aren’t just portrayals of an everyday person but an event: art happening.
Total Freedom
Ashland Mines, better known as Total Freedom (US), draws dancers into a whirlwind of ever-evolving textures and sensations. Unafraid to assault listeners with harsh shifts in mood and tempo, in his hands, R&B-concrète collides with rap, grime and ballroom house, while sung vocals abruptly dissolve into swamps of syrupy, drugged-out noise.
Amnesia Scanner
Despite an ever-growing fan base, little is known about the mysterious Amnesia Scanner. Amnesia Scanner creates futuristic club music that crosses musical boundaries. Their debut release ‘AS LIVE [][][][][]’ blends fresh, rapidly changing rhythm patterns with dramatic outbursts of mangled samples.
J(ay).A.D.
J(ay).A.D is an up-and-coming Dutch/Surinamese producer, born in Paramaribo and currently living in Amsterdam. His distinct combination of Footwork with Surinamese Kawina, Dancehall, Dub and Grime gave him international recognition, with Björk calling it music which inspired her to make her latest record, Vulnicura.
