Resonance FM Fundraiser


November 20th 2026, 7pm

The Horse Hospital,  WC1N 1JD

Maggie Nicols, Black Fondu, Kenichi Iwasa + Luigi Monteanni (duo)

100% of proceeds go directly to Resonance, supporting their work as an independent home for adventurous music, art, ideas and voices rarely heard elsewhere on the radio.

BLACK FONDU is London based Accra born artist whose performances veer between dissected electronica, manipulated hip-hop and abstract grime; heated in energy with alien multi-layered patches. Moving between punk, hip-hop and experimental scenes they perform with effuse force. In conjunction with the music they make video work. Aged 22 BLACK FONDU has been making this project since 2024 and notably their work has been included on the Quietus favourite tracks of 2024 (self-released via bandcamp) and they have supported Detroit glitch-rapper HiTech and New Orleans punk band Special Interest.

Maggie Nicols joined London's legendary Spontaneous Music Ensemble in 1968 as a free improvisation vocalist. She then became active running voice workshops with an involvement in local experimental theatre. She later joined the group Centipede, led by Keith Tippets and in 1977, with musician/composer Lindsay Cooper, formed the remarkable Feminist Improvising Group. She continues performing and recording challenging and beautiful work, in music and theatre, either in collaborations with a range of artists (Irene Schweitzer, Joelle Leandre, Ken Hyder, Caroline Kraabel) as well as solo.

Luigi Manteanni is a PhD candidate in music studies at SOAS (London). His is researching the relationships between contemporary transnational pop music genres and regional music. Currently, he is theorising the indigenization of extreme metal in Bandung, Indonesia and convening modules on the Music Business and Global Music Sub/Cultures at SOAS. He is co-founder of Artetetra Records: a music label and collective pursuing practice-based inquiries regarding notions of digital folklore and exoticism in late globalization. 

Kenichi Iwasa is a London based improviser and multidisciplinary artist from Japan, also known for his legendary event Krautrock Karaoke night. He has collaborated with visual artists and musicians such as Beatrice Dillon, Maxwell Sterling and Linder Sterling. He currently performs with Naima Karlsson under the name Exotic Sin and has released an LP on Blank Forms.
