Link Music Lab descends below Lansdowne for 2026’s first Experimental Link session. Detroit acid disciple Sard, local cosmic linchpin Raf Reza, and resident psychonauts Dastgâmachine bring their distinctive ferments and dogmatic, studied approaches to imbuing “traditional” Iranian and Bengali sonic signifiers to the hardcore continuum. Techno, ambience, jungle, Midwest energy, call it what you will. Genres will be mutated and morphed. Hardware limits will be tested. Brains will be melted. Purists will be aghast. Everyone plays records before between and after live action. Dastgamachine’s new record will be for sale - with remixes by the band and Raf. Sard and Raf’s set will be recorded for future release. Come join the brew.
Link Music Lab acknowledges the generous support of Canadian Heritage, Toronto Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts.
