TUNES=

Coldnose (London)

Coldnose creates dirty Techno beats inspired by Electro, D’n’B, Acid and Industrial. Improvised jams are recomposed and organized into songs. Live performances are spontaneous and can go in any direction, which is why each live set is different, semi-improvised you could say, especially with the distorted vocals that expresses frustration, pleasure, nonsense and rage.
