Kerala Dust, a London-born electronic band now based in Berlin, brings a unique blend of live electronic improvisation and psychedelic textures to China for the first time. Their performances fuse house, blues, and avant-garde influences into immersive shows that evolve in real time, making each concert a singular experience.

About the Show

Kerala Dust offers a rare hybrid of electronic music and live improvisation. Their sound combines the rhythmic precision of house music with the improvisational wanderings of psychedelic rock, infused with jazz and funk. Vocals by Edmund Kenny add a languid, immersive quality, transforming songs into living sonic environments. The band’s live shows are far from studio reproductions—they extend and reshape tracks through mid-song improvisation, making each performance unique.

Program Highlights

Their 2023 album, Violet Drive, exemplifies the band’s aesthetic: icy electronic textures blended with the raw sensuality of blues and psychedelic melancholy. Their 2025 release, An Echo of Love, further explores avant-garde electronic textures, art rock, and desert blues landscapes. In their live performances, songs often double in length as improvisation allows the music to breathe and grow, creating a collective, participatory experience.
