Big Murk, Sarahasson & Ex Agent

As part of our artist development programme, Bloom, we're going to be working closely with three artists we truly believe in. Have a read through to get to know a little more about them.

Big Murk
Big Murk is an independent Palestinian-Jordanian producer, drummer and MC based between Amman and Bristol. Murk grafts the sound of his childhood vernacular onto UK grime’s skittering drum patterns, all carefully reinforced with his characteristic fat, calculated basslines, delivering his DJ and hybrid Live sets as a quirky melting pot, chopping up grime, breaks, techno, UKG, electro, and GQOM into a chunky stew sprinkled liberally with his own productions.

sarahsson
Sarahsson is a composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, performance artist and DJ living and working in Bristol. Inspired as much by the natural world as she is by gore and harsh noise, Sarahsson fuses elements of classical music with metal, experimental electronics and folk. Her 2022 debut album ‘The Horgenaith’ draws on personal and cultural mythologies of femininity, transition and synaesthesia.

Ex Agent
Sitting restlessly between post-rock and free-jazz, Ex Agent throw together dissonant symphonies of sax and piano alongside frantic guitars, drums, and haunting vocals. Combining elements of performance art, post punk, and beat jazz, the five piece sprinkle a taste of noir into a salty No-Wave cacophony.
