UF is a collaborative live project between OAKE and Samuel Kerridge known for his distinctive post-punk approach to techno. Self-described as the "power metal techno" duo, UF is an experimental blend of techno and metal influences.
“This was just two artists on stage with their desks, a microphone and a canopy of poles with strobe lights. Their music was bombastic, dark and almost industrial influenced…Unhinged, yet completely embracing. Amazing in its frenzied tone and so unrestricted in its palette-splashings of metal, drone and nasty percussion. One half of the duo mounted the desk and was screaming like a metal madman into a microphone, then diving off onto the stage.”
“Visualise a gigantic Victorian-era steam engine blasting out of the industrial epoch to crush our shiny, torpid future—hulking rotors, churning gears, rusted steel, all delivered with a live visceral energy that set their performance apart from some of their more reserved contemporaries.”
