Episode 18: Attack/Release at Bloc+ — Cinema Hotdogs, Ty Lumnus & A'Bear

Glasgow has always been a city of sound-makers. From the basement rehearsal room to the experimental club night, this is a city that has never stopped pushing music into new territory - and Attack/Release is one of the spaces keeping that spirit fiercely alive.

In this episode, we head down to Bloc+ on Bath Street for the April session of Attack/Release - a free monthly night dedicated to live experimental electronic music, founded and hosted by Fraser Rowan (aka Ty Lumnus).

You'll hear three brilliant live sets from three very different artists:

Cinema Hotdogs - making his Attack/Release debut and launching a brand new cassette release on the night. The latest project from producer Andrew Merrick, blending cinematic soundscapes with lo-fi electronic warmth.

Ty Lumnus - Glasgow's modular synth architect and the founder of this very night, launching his new album Resonances in the Hidden Field on Astral Discs. Melodic dystopian soundscapes meet hypnotic, meditative ambient territory.

A'Bear - a South African-born, London-based psychedelic electronic musician whose cosmic polyrhythms and warped basslines create something you feel as much as hear.

Bloc+ has been one of Scotland's most vital small venues since 2001 - a place where Twin Atlantic, Frightened Rabbit, and Biffy Clyro all played early gigs before the arenas came calling. No entry fee, no barrier between you and the music, no compromise.

This one's for the late-night listeners. Turn it up.

Next Attack/Release: Wednesday 27th May 2026 @ Bloc+ featuring Laurie Black, Zonos, and AM Frequencies — free entry, 9–11pm.

Huge thanks to James and Chris at Bloc+ for making this episode possible.
