Lunchmeat Festival and Ankali’s collaborative events go way back, but this year marks something different: putting aside the mid-week pumping full-throttle club energy blast which usually whets the appetite for the main festival programme, we re-ignite Ankali’s Shoes Off ambient series with a night of soothing music.

Leading the lineup is Saint Petersburg-born, Berlin-based ambient musician Perila, known for her captivating releases on labels like Motion Ward and Shelter Press. Her sets blend spoken word and poetry with shifting soundscapes, creating a spellbinding experience. Brno-based Energie brings a dreamy, bedroom-pop influenced ambient liveset, combining field recordings, spoken word, and gentle synthesis that gradually moves toward noisier textures. dējāvi part of local act Viah, will deliver a DJ set spanning electronica, melodic techno, house, and ambient. The event follows a Gravity Network talk and screening with filmmaker Rebecca Salvadori and her works, including a Q&A with Freddie Hudson.
