What?
Two nights of live and electronic music, fire dancers, experimental visuals, heavyweight custom-built sound systems, an epic fire show, lasers and dancing.
As always it will be full of original and boundary-pushing Independent, leftfield and multi-genre music and art in a beautiful location deep in the Peak District National Park with camping on site (included in the price)
This is our first chance to fully showcase our new immersive geodome, put together by Lotus Domes and Native Nomads - soon to be completely off-grid!! It’s a hub for creativity, experimentation, expression, culture and connection with nature and heritage.
On Saturday night, there will be an epic performance with Wylds Fire incorporating dance, soundscape, rhythm, fire, visuals, mythology, live percussion, sfx, and expressive energy.
After a pretty down tempo edition of Lost in the Hills, this will be a more of a party vibe, with music until 3am both nights
Where?
Kenslow Farm, Middleton-by-Youlgrave, DE46 1LY

fthmlss

jinjé
As a founding member of the Leeds-based experimental band Vessels, Jinjé (aka Lee Malcolm) is no stranger to breaking the boundaries of genre. With his solo project he delves into progressive sonic explorations that navigate between acoustic and electronic, synthetic and organic, employing a learned ear for the fusion of seemingly disparate elements. Detailed layers of ethereal texture meet punchy synth-work, shimmering pads meet broken and affected vocals, all with a deep groove and a surreal catchiness.
kiosk
Leeds based electronic duo Kiosk make dance-punk influenced by the city's diverse DIY scene. Their sound shifts between postpunk inflected dance beats, dreamy soundscapes and pounding techno noise, combining drum machines and analogue synthesis with raw lyrics and heavily processed bass.
inwards
UK-based electronic artist Inwards is the project of musician Kristian Shelley. Drawing inspiration from flow states - those moments of full creative absorption where time seems to slow and action becomes effortless - the music explores what it means to be “in the moment.”
From his first releases, Inwards has delighted both fans and critics with unshakable melodies and playful productions that draw from modular synths, found sounds, and myriad electronic and acoustic instruments.
the barnacles
In 2017 multi-instrumentalist and producer Pete Beardsworth took a trip to Brazil where he stayed with a Santo Daime community near Rio De Janiero. This experience began a process of reconnection with music and life which lead to the creative of the Barnacles sound
Following a fruitful hiatus that featured a love affair with a 4 track tape machine and a resultant mini-album release ('Happy New Year', 2024), Pete moved back to Nottingham and slowly set about organising the music he’d created in digital form. At the same time, practices started with a group of new friends: a band called The Barnacles was forming. These fellow travellers and musicians created new safety and a home from home in Nottingham, where they started work on realising Pete's compositions, improvising and merry-making.
