Timescape // Shadow Acid [Live] + Sundaymann & Infophysix
We’re super proud of our first timescape party back in march, and want to thank everyone again for the support! we want to use this platform to both develop as djs and bring artists to glasgow we think are fresh, push boundaries, and represent our tastes as much as possible. hence, we’re very excited to welcome shadow acid to the flying duck on friday 27th june.
Shadow acid is the mysterious alias of one of electro’s most prolific producers, and their sound revolves around an inimitable combination of acid futurism and nineties-reminiscent breakbeat techno.
To our knowledge, this is a live performance only seen at the excellent above below festival and the london institution electrowerkz, so it’s a real treat getting the opportunity to hear it in glasgow, and we really do stress that it’s one not to be missed.
We’ll be warming things up before mr acid takes centre stage - expect crashing breakbeats and monstrous low-end, all complimented by blissful 303 patterns and subtle references to rave’s halcyon days, and perhaps even excursions into jungle’s deeper realms.
Hope to see you all there, early birds now gone - general release now live
Rory and Jonny :)

A dedicated session of pure dnb and jungle brought to you by BRISTOL LUKE, MEDUDESA and GEEZER to keep you going until 3am.
Taking influence from the golden era of DnB (98-05) right through to modern day classics we're going to be smashing out the whole spectrum of the genre including full vinyl sets mixed the old school way - nothing is off the table.

common room with Bruce
as if moin wasn't enough, to cap off may we thought we'd bring up one of the most innovative names in UK dance music: bruce
a true master of his craft, bruce is nothing short of one of the most adventurous artists out there, always willing to push the boundaries of what is possible as a dj - a quick flick through any of his mixes is testament to this. this extends to his output as a producer and recording artist, releasing on labels such as hessle audio, timedance, livity sound, hemlock - you name it, he’s probably done it. and now with his own poorly knit label up and running, it’s safe to say the guy is nothing short of prolific.
he’ll be taking to the floor for 3 hours on 31st may, and we hope to see you every step of the way - come see what he’s about.
BODIES IN MOTION 008 - ELLIE STOKES
BODIES IN MOTION 008!
The BIM crew return to the Duck for their second outing of the year, bringing Bristol's finest, Ellie Stokes to town. A bit about Ellie:
With individuality and experimentation at her core, Ellie Stokes is very much her own DJ. Having immersed herself in Bristol’s music scene since arriving in the late 00s, she could reasonably be considered a product of the city’s unique creative culture. Let’s sidestep tired ideas about trip hop and D&B for a second and focus on the West Country capital as a hotbed of broad-minded experimentation, with a community ethos and supportive framework that encourages talent to shine through.
Stokes was already working within the music industry when she started to channel her passion into DJing – she was working at vital independent venue The Love Inn, one of the hubs of Bristol’s underground music culture, where she’s now the booking agent and venue manager. When the female /non-binary Mix Nights DJ course began (helmed by leading lights such as Danielle and Daisy Moon), Stokes found the right nurturing environment to discover her instinct for selecting and spinning, initiating a career which has grown exponentially ever since. In 2018 she became a resident at Bristol’s leading club space Motion, and played life-affirming slots at premier league events and spaces such as Glastonbury, Love International, Warehouse Project, Love Saves The Day, Corsica Studios and Simple Things.
As well as her dancefloor presence, where she’s likely to be plying leftfield house and techno tinged with industrial and 90s motifs, Stokes has a regular radio outlet via Bristol’s leading station, Noods. It’s on these shows her tastes truly open up, touching on ambient techno and electronica, all manner of wave-related sonics, EBM and much more besides. It’s a non-conformist style that favours individual expression over generic consistency, championing the omnivorous spirit of the times and presenting selections that feel honest, heartfelt and constantly surprising.
Stokes’ musical endeavours reach beyond her DJing too–she also helps steer the city’s much-loved queer dance party Bitch, Please! and came on board as a partner in Futureboogie, which will soon branch out into a new label project in the near future.Her keen ear for the unusual and distinctive shine through in these ventures as much as when she’s on the decks, rounding out her positive contributions to all corners of the music scene in Bristol and beyond. She may be representative of the city as it stands right now, but Ellie Stokes is just as much her own vital energy in a tangled network of scenes, communities, parties and platforms that stretches out internationally.
So, there'll be groovy electro, left of centre house, techno, electronica, and a few surprises along the way.
Resident Joey Name is joined by local legend and Thudline captain Roy Don for the warmup. Laurie really impressed when headlining BIM006 and we can't wait to have him back.
This is our biggest night yet, and not one to be missed.

common room & Pop Mutations present: Moin
common room & Pop mutations present Moin one of the finest live and studio acts of the last decade to The Flying Duck for their Glasgow debut.
Moin are a London-based three-piece featuring Tom Halstead and Joe Andrews of the electronic outfit Raime, alongside visionary percussionist Valentina Magaletti.
Their music recontextualizes a range of guitar-based genres—grunge, shoegaze, and post-rock—through an enigmatic reimagining of the traditional band dynamic. Employing both conventional and unique compositional techniques, their sound is marked by a visceral immediacy that comes to life in full force during their live performances.
Moin walk the line between the reassuringly familiar and the unsettlingly inquisitive.

DIVERGENCE
DIVERGENCE
As electronic music continues to evolve, the boundaries between genres, references, and styles are becoming increasingly modular - fluid, experimental, and cross-pollinated. Divergence is a night dedicated to celebrating that evolution. We’ve curated a lineup of forward-thinking DJs known for their unique stylistic flare and boundary-pushing selections with a B2B opener by us. The night will blend digital and vinyl formats, enhanced by live visuals for a dynamic and immersive experience where no sound is off-limits and the unexpected becomes the highlight.

.ೃ࿔ Más allá creates percussive soundscapes, blending latin rhythms with techno and booty-shaking bangers. Their sets extend across genre-definitions, integrating elements of surprise and textural richness that invite joyful movement.
.ೃ࿔ From emotion, form and texture to tribal rhythms, euphoric melodies and rolling basslines, shedcat considers music from a multidimensional perspective with influences from her recent travels. A seductive quality immersed with playfulness provides a captivating dancefloor experience.

RAINY MILLER
RAINY MILLER / KUTE / BLOODY SHIELD
Friday 2nd May
7pm - 10pm
Rainy Miller: From Preston, to Glasgow. Showcasing the first A/V experience of “Joseph, What Have You Done?”, I am honoured to be able to be playing North of the border, for the first time since 2022. Support from Kute & Bloody Shield. Miller moved to Manchester in 2015 and soon recorded and released his debut project, Limbs (2019) a work of northern neo-R&B that was put out on his newly minted own label Fixed Abode and which he toured across the UK in support of US artist Gus Dapperton. Miller followed this up with his second solo project A Choreographed Interruption (2021 via Fixed Abode), a poetic and emotionally penetrating audio-visual study of loss and longing that presented a more idiosyncratic and sonically developed sound. His next release saw him team up with The White Hotel’s off-shoot label HEAD II with his most ambitious project to date DESQUAMATION (Fire, Burn. Nobody). The project was a full bloodied, emotionally visceral piece of work segueing and stretching across a sound world of contorted pop and laconic drill that cemented Miller’s position at the cutting edge of contemporary electronic music.

Work For Love & Fortified Pres. Timothy J. Fairplay LIVE
Fortified & Work For Love Pres. Timothy J. Fairplay (LIVE)
Timothy J. Fairplay first came to our attention as one half of The Asphodells with the late great Andrew Weatherall, but it was his early solo work that convinced us to approach him for a release on our own Work For Love label. A heady, unique analogue mixture of Italo Disco, Chicago Jack, Acid, Electro & Techno inform his sound, along with a healthy nod to shlocky b-movie soundtracks. Tim has had a slew of releases in the last decade for notable labels like Hoga Nord, Emotional Response, Weapons of Desire, Bird Scarer & Nocta Numerica and also records under the aliases Junior Fairplay and Antoine Rouge. Tim will be bringing his boxes of analogue kit up to Glasgow with him for the first time in years and will be supported by local lads Manifesto of Bliss & Electric Eliminators.
