Operant

Booking Agent : Ricky Biondetti & Wade Black

Berlin based live duo and production unit, OPERANT, have progressively carved out their own space in the European electronic scene with boundary-defying sonic explorations, fueled with tension and obscurity. A collaborative project between Instruments Of Discipline founder, Luna Vassarotti (IT) and August Skipper (AUS) (Agency, YANWYTYA), OPERANT brutally morphs as it pleases, devouring and absorbing all in its path.

Fresh from a transformative five-week residency in Uganda with the pan-African label Nyege Nyege—which included a blistering performance at the world-renowned Nyege Nyege Festival and ongoing collaborations with artists Ecko Bazz, Chrisman, and Samuel Karugu (Duma) —OPERANT’s ceaseless evolution continues to unfold on the global stage. Following the release of their debut LP, Traumkörper, the duo now prepare to tour in support of their latest EP, Vape N Bleed, a split release on Total Black and Instruments Of Discipline. The EP sees OPERANT more actively exploring the absurd, a strange, grinding experience that vaguely straddles pop structures with elements of witch-house and breakcore, duelling vocals pitching between goth drone, psyopcore, and moments of melodic levity. OPERANT’s live shows are a collision between the body and machines, encompassing gestural noise, power tools, mic’d metal fragments, and dual vocals distorted to the point of surreality, conjuring an intense performance that is at times ecstatic, terrifying, and absurd.
