DATACENTRE unites three artists for the final session of 2026. Medallion Man and Charlie Boy Manson, co-founders of the multidirectional Loose Lips crew) have come down from the UK for the MC's live debut and a night of beats, blends and rhymes. Backing them up is multimedia artist Jussi Brightmore (2rana 3crana), who returns to open as DJ. / Medallion Man is the co-founder, resident, and driving force behind diverse musical platform Loose Lips. He has directed its growth since its launch in October 2014, co-curating events, label releases, charity work, mix series, radio shows and the blog's activities. The Devonshire-born DJ and chess-enthusiast continues to blossom alongside the wider project, gaining a reputation for intriguing mixing across a chequerboard of tempos and genres. He also is the co-founder of the soon-to-be-rebranded Threads Radio, co-manages the REinsTate community hub space in East London, oversees publishing at 2020Vision Recordings, runs a mysterious new vinyl label called Reposition with Third Ear's El Prevost and carefully manages a genre-spanning roster of musicians from unique singer-songwriters to modular geeks. \ The mysterious alter-ego of rapper and promoter Treece (Charlie Boy Manson) is a pillar of the Manchester electronic and hip-hop community. When not in the studio or on stage he is the co-manager of popular Northern Quarter venue Stage & Radio, co-founder of the music collective and record label Loose Lips and head of Rotten Life Records. Known for his unmistakable blend of poetic razor-sharp lyricism, dark punch lines and underground ethos. Now remarked as one of the toughest MCs in Manchester, Charlie Boy Manson has soundtracked many dancefloors up and down the UK and across Europe. / Lisbon-based and London-sourced, 2rana 3crana weave their unique technicolour, elastic mesh of industrial club music that honours the Afro-Portuguese batida rhythms of their adopted city as much as experimental UK bass culture, with a drag presentation as deconstructed as their sound. Debut releases in 2025 on cult future-forward Montreal/Mexico City label, Infinite Machine, brought them into a networked collective spanning the globe. From roots in Portugal's underground rave scene, they have since performed in India, USA, UK and throughout Europe. “Astonishing and hedonistic interdimensional body music. Writhing, searing, ecstatic and ludicrously fun.” – THE QUIETUS ––– DARC é uma associação cultural fundada em 2014 centrada na promoção de artes e cultura.
