For the first edition of sulcus we have locked in the man who alongside Floating Points is responsible for one of our favourite labels, eglo records. Since 2008 eglo has represented the UK on a global scale, uniting heavy funk and soul influences with the traditionally darker sounds of the UK underground.

As a DJ, Alexander Nut is renowned for drawing upon these far reaching influences; seamlessly blending genres from all over the world throughout the course of a set. With three hours to exhibit his extensive vinyl collection, expect to hear dub, house, soul, grime and more...

Support comes from Contours, an established resident DJ in Newcastle known for his love of world music and jazzy electronic sounds. We feel he will provide a perfect springboard for Alexander Nut as he has done for many other artists over the years at Rubix.

Sulcus will also be a showcase for local unsigned live acts. We will open the doors at 8, giving some of the most talented producers in Newcastle the chance to present their music to an open-minded crowd on a proper soundsystem. For anyone into the darker and slower side of electronic music, we recommend you head down for Turc.
