Unsound X Dripping

For the sole club night of our 2025 NY edition, Unsound once again teams up with Dripping for a Thursday night takeover at Nowadays.

Mica Levi headlines with a special DJ set. The UK composer is one of the truly singular voices of our time. Last year saw the release of slob air, a resplendent, unfurling dose of sensuality on Hyderdub. Following a performance of their original compositions by Sinfonietta Cracovia at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, Levi steps into the booth.

LCY’s taut re-interpretation of drum n bass, dubstep and hardcore has resulted in some of the most thrilling modern dance music of the last few years.. Atlanta’s Leonce is a modern master of cracking house percussion; a producer who is unafraid of restraint and understatement, Leonce finds power in a swaggering minimalism. Following their standout set at Unsound’s Krakow edition, Cry - the duo of Kilbourne and Dripping co-founder Relaxer - returns for a live set. Drawing on their shared histories in punk circles, Cry fuses the focused rigor of their electronic works with a destructive, house show energy.

Keioui Keijaun Thomas performs early in the night. A multidisciplinary artist whose performance works have bridged the art world and the rave underground, Thomas’ performance and installation works embody both a visceral physicality and deep poignancy. Opening the night is a unique pre-prepared installation created especially for the Nowadays soundsystem. featuring Jim O'Rourke and Eiko Ishibashi reworking the compositions of Polish composer and electronic music pioneer Włodzimierz Kotoński.
