Essential Remedies with Deji Ijishakin

There’s nobody quite like Deji. Incendiary saxophonist, bandleader of Hypernova (an eccentric and explosive meeting of jazz and philosophy), member of Levitation Orchestra, student of Neuroscience and pioneer of Jazz Drill with his solo project Xvngo. We touched base with Deji to get his take on Essential Remedies and his suggestions didn’t disappoint: we are…

Essential Remedies with WOOM

Any WOOM fan will know that loving them is an exercise in patience: since playing their very first set at Brainchild Festival 2017, we have waited 4 long years for any WOOM recordings that we can hear from home. That is, until now… as they have just released their debut EP ~ Into the Rest.…

Essential Remedies with In Flames

Our next instalment in the Essential Remedies series comes from our favourite fire starters In Flames AKA Ruby Kwasiba Savage and Josephine Chime. Together, the two are an unstoppable duo of the dance! Their post-punk disco DJ sets are the stuff of legend, and we’ve been lucky enough to have them tear up the dancefloor at the…

Quote Poster Series: Peach Doble’s key messages from our discussions at the 2019 festival

  Back in the simpler times of 2019 we invited artist Peach Doble and her colourful tools to our festival to make an artistic response to our talks sessions. We have a larger project on the way soon, but as that was taking shape, we noticed some particularly powerful words and messages emerging and felt…

Essential Remedies with Allysha Joy

Allysha Joy is nothing short of a hero of ours. She’s a total cornerstone of the music coming out of (so-called) Australia*, both as a solo artist and as part of the band and collective 30/70. There is an undeniable resonance going on between Melbourne and South East London: so when we found out that…

Essential Remedies with Jemima Foxtrot

Jemima Foxtrot is a writer, theatre-maker, performer and musician, who wears each of those hats with flair and originality. We’ve been lucky enough to have her perform a number of projects with us – she’s presented her solo work at our regular development night Hatch; as well as performing with the drag king collective The…

We bring you… Infinity Fields!

A virtual festival webspace and dreamy portal into the real-time memories, mixes and magic of a Brainchild weekend.  https://infinity.brainchildfestival.co.uk/ | live 18:00 Friday 10 –  08:30 Monday 13 July While the pandemic continues to prevent us from getting together IRL in the Brainchild field, to connect with strangers and dance our hearts out, we’ve poured…

Essential Remedies with El Hardwick

El Hardwick is a multidisciplinary artist, photographer, and musician who makes music as Moonbow. You can find all their releases here, as well as check out their extraordinary photography here. El joined us at the festival last year for a live set which went off – the sun-dappled woods came alive with people dancing to…

Essential Remedies with Mary & Ell (Hotter gals)

The work that Mary and Ell make is hilarious and liberating. They have a distinct and utterly joyful theatrical style, driven by an infectious curiosity and a will to start real big conversations by bringing to life the thoughts and experiences of others. They ask all kinds of people all kinds of questions, (notably ‘What…

Essential Remedies with duendita

Our next dose of Essential Remedies comes from our NYC/Berlin homie duendita. It’s fair to say that duendita lives a way of making art that is entirely hers; it is fluid and honest, without preconception or hard limits. It feels like the most natural thing in the world, that her ideas, melodies and lyrics are…
