Playlist: LGW24 curated by Crystallmess

After an unforgettable closing set at last year’s edition, Crystallmess returns to Le Guess Who? with a live show in which her caustic, beautiful, melodic, and dancefloor-crush-inducing music will sound larger than ever. This year, she will not only perform, but also presents her very own program.

This playlist features American singer, bassist, and composer Kim Gordon, whose career is characterized by her boundary-pushing approach to music; HiTech, the Detroit-bred collaboration between rappers King Milo, Milf Melly and DJ/producer 47Chops; the English experimental musician, rapper and choreographer Blackhaine; and the prodigious DJ and producer Waajeed, who was raised among the budding Detroit hip-hop, techno, and funk scene. 

Furthermore, you can explore KUKII (fka Lafawndah), a Paris-based singer, songwriter, producer, and director; LustSickPuppy, whose music was described by Vogue as ‘chaotic’ and ‘impulsive’ but with room for intentionality; the Europe-based booth maverick Nazar; RP Boo, who is widely considered to be among the fathers of footwork, the Chicago-based, fast-paced, genre-leaping electronic music genre; and British contemporary producer and singer-songwriter Florence Sinclair whose music is like a flower with many petals, blossoming in icy cool tones of challenging yet strangely comforting avant-garde.

There are still tickets available for her program on Friday, 8 November at club BASIS, featuring Cõvco, Nazar, RP Boo and Crystallmess herself.

Tune in below. The playlist is also available via Apple Music.

Note: Crystallmess's curation also features the British artist and DJ Cõvco, who is described by Fact Magazine as 'a fundamental thread through the fabric of London's underground art scene' , but she is not included in the playlist as her music is not available on Spotify or Apple Music.
