Wonky Plonky Electronk returns to All Is Joy, London on 20th Feb!
‘The Wonky Sessions: Volume 1’, the first compilation album from Wonky Plonk Electronk, brings together a remarkable collective of artists pushing the boundaries of sound. Featuring renowned and unconventional artists Mieko Shimizu, Dhangsha, Shape Navigator, Analogue Mechanic, and the late Gagarin, ‘The Wonky Sessions: Volume 1′ is a bold exploration of experimental sound, weaving together intricate glitchy rhythms, immersive ambience, and absorbing sonic textures that stand firmly outside convention.
Right from the glitch-infused urgency of Mieko Shimizu’s arresting opener ‘Space Colony Death’, ‘The Wonky Sessions: Volume 1’ carries you through hypnotic journey through the outer edges of experimental sound. Dhangsha injects a jolt of raw adrenaline with the pulsing intensity of ‘Elbit Crushed’, before the album descends into a dreamlike haze, guided by Gagarin’s intricate, atmospheric textures on ‘Margate Illuminati’ and Shape Navigator’s deeply immersive synth soundscapes. Drifting into the finale, Analogue Mechanic’s ‘Syntony PM’ envelops listeners in its expansive, meditative ambience, leaving listeners adrift in the boundless universe of Wonky Plonky Electronk.
The upcoming release of ‘The Wonky Sessions: Volume 1’ is a natural extension of Wonky Plonky Electronk’s commitment to showcasing the UK’s most innovative experimental artists. Featuring musicians who have previously performed at a Wonky Plonky Electronk night, capturing the raw energy and boundary-pushing spirit that have defined Wonky’s live events across London, Margate, Ramsgate, and Brighton. As Wonky continues to tour across the UK, this album is set to offer a sonic snapshot of the vibrant experimental music community it has helped cultivate.
Wonky Plonky Electronk are dedicating this debut release to Gagarin. Gagarin, or Graham ‘Dids’ Dowdall, sadly passed away last year, leaving behind a legacy of fearless sonic exploration and innovation. Travel well, Spaceman.
To celebrate the release of ‘The Wonky Sessions: Volume 1’, Wonky Plonky Electronk is back for another live event of entrancing experimental electronic music. On Thursday, February 20th, this unique sonic experience will take over All Is Joy in Soho, an eclectic venue housed in the iconic former Warner Bros. cinema, now reimagined by the dynamic arts collective behind it. The night features an incredible lineup of Wonky artists: Scanner, Dhangsha, Mieko Shimizu, Shape Navigator + DJ Winter (Wrangler).

Aro Rose Releases Emotional New Single “Live Without You” — Now Available Worldwide
Genre-blending singer/songwriter Aro Rose has officially dropped her highly anticipated new single, “Live Without You,” and it’s now streaming everywhere music lives.
A hauntingly honest track about love, loss, and letting go, “Live Without You” showcases Aro’s signature dark pop aesthetic—think cinematic piano lines, ghostly synths, and lyrics that hit where it hurts. It’s raw. It’s vulnerable. It’s that 3AM track you cry to…and then play again.
“I wrote this one straight from my gut,” Aro says. “It’s about that moment when you realize you’ve outgrown someone you thought you couldn’t live without. There’s sadness in it—but also strength.”
Self-taught and self-made, Aro Rose first turned heads with her distinctive sound that sits somewhere between Lana Del Rey’s noir romanticism and Fiona Apple’s emotional honesty. Since stepping away from the major label system, she’s carved out a fiercely independent path—and “Live Without You” is her boldest, most personal release to date.
The single is produced by longtime collaborators Gabriel Maciocia and Robert Federici, who help bring Aro’s dark visions to life with lush, atmospheric production that lets her voice shine through the shadows.
“Live Without You” is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube, and all major streaming platforms.
