Fifty years ago, Cabaret Voltaire shocked the people of Sheffield into revolt. A promoter screamed for the band to get off stage, while an audience baying for blood had to be held back with a clarinet being swung around for protection.

Fireworks explode, flames burn, smoke engulfs the room and a screech erupts from the audience as a masked Tyler, the Creator emerges from a thick green haze to the gut-rumbling bass of St Chroma. It’s rare to hear such a frenzied response to new songs but it establishes the mood for an evening during which the LA rapper’s most recent work, from 2024’s Chromakopia, is received with the same level of adoration as old favourites.

In the state of Denmark, figures writhe in darkness, strobes flash, blades swing, blood spews, and chaos ensues as the glitchy electronic charge of Radiohead’s “Sit Down. Stand Up” blasts while bodies drop dead on the stage. The play’s the thing when you fuse Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Radiohead’s Hail to the Thief and stage it as: Hamlet to the Thief.

David Wrench is one of the most in demand mixing engineers in the world atm, we spoke about how that came to be, from his teenage years making Welsh language acid house to blagging himself a job in the studio and getting a wake up call from Julian Cope. https://t.co/fLU62p1EBa
