BEATS. BLEEPS. BASSLINES. CHEEKY RAPS.
Bad Girlz bring together IxIndamix’s slamming electronic rhythms and analogue mischief with Simone Sim Simmer’s soulful melodies, irreverent lyrics and unmistakable energy!
Two original members of the Spiral Tribe SP23 story. Two raving mothers with attitude. One explosive live performance 🌀
Sim Simmer was there at the very first Spiral Tribe party. When the police confiscated the generator, she organised another one in the middle of the night…and the party continued… 🏴☠️
Twenty years later, their signature blend of rave energy, heavy electronics, humour and attitude continues to move dancefloors of Boomtown, Glastonbury Festival and across the whole Europe.

A PEN. BLACK INK. A LOGARITHMIC SPIRAL.
After leaving his job in Reading, Mark Angelo Harrison Mark Angelo moved to London, where he immersed himself in a world of DJs, artists and musicians.
While working at a print studio, he discovered the logarithmic spiral of an ammonite… a symbol of life, evolution and chaos. The next day, he quit his job and began a new project.
🌀 He called it Spiral Tribe🌀
Today, Mark is a writer, photographer and artist whose visual work remains inseparable from the history and identity of the movement.
On Friday 18 September, he brings Space Pirates Screen Printing to the Spiral Tribe Exhibition. Bring your own T-shirt and print it with an original Space Pirates design 🏴☠️

FROM WAREHOUSES TO A COUNTERCULTURAL MOVEMENT 🌀
In the early 1990s, Spiral Tribe transformed abandoned spaces into temporary communities built around music, freedom and participation.
From Castlemorton and the Criminal Justice Act to the spread of the free party movement across Europe, their influence travelled far beyond the dancefloor 🏴☠️
More than thirty years later, the story continues to resonate.

Two brothers. Same blood. Same vision.
Kris Panik and 🪼 Madtronik 🪼
After more than twenty years, from the clubs and free party fields of Italy to the warehouses and industrial spaces of London, we’ve grown through organising raves, building communities rooted in underground culture and chasing something meaningful through music. It felt like the right time to create a home for everything we’ve learned along the way.
This is Unmasked Records.
This label isn’t built around a genre.
It’s built around a way of thinking. A way of living.
Techno and tekno are our roots.
Crossover is our third direction.
We’ve never believed that music should fit inside categories or be shaped by trends. Genres help people describe music, but they should never define creativity.
For us, music has never been just entertainment. It’s culture. It’s resistance. It’s instinct. It’s emotion.
Every release on Unmasked Records will reflect who we are, where we come from and everything that has shaped us over the years.
This is our space. A hub to experiment, collaborate and keep pushing boundaries.
Our debut vinyl release arrives this September 🏴☠️

Before algorithms. Before mainstream festivals.
There were warehouses, sound systems, DIY networks and a movement that changed UK and European underground culture forever.
After travelling across Europe, Unmasked presents the Spiral Tribe Exhibition - - for the very first time in London, in the city where their story left one of its deepest marks throughout the 1990s and far beyond.
4 days of cultural programme bringing together history, music, ideas and collective memory with Spiral Tribe crew, rooted in the free party ethos of resistance, DIY spirit and creative autonomy 🌀
A rare exploration through archives, images, visual language and the countercultural legacy of one of the most influential movements of recent decades.
The exhibition will be free and accessible throughout the programme.
Exclusive panel talks, workshops, screenings, interviews and live sessions featuring Spiral Tribe crew and special partners will be announced over the coming months.
Saturday night - SP23 rave announcement and full line-up coming very soon! 🏴☠️
This September, London reconnects with a story that helped shape underground counterculture far beyond the dancefloor.
From another era. Still resonating today. For those who were there. For those discovering it for the first time.

Who is really responsible for the culture?
“It’s not just about the artist… it’s all of us.” 🧡
For years, people argued about what’s right or wrong…free parties, money, clubs.
But that was never the point. The ones who talk the most are often the first to disappear. The ones who stay are the ones building it.
It’s not about opinions. It’s about commitment.
So what are you actually contributing to the culture?
Exclusive interview by , a London-based project by UNMASKED, .culture_ and , exploring rave culture through live conversations and audience exchange.
