The South-Korean musician bela has found a way to transpose sheet music of Nongak, a traditional form of Korean folk music, into riveting club music that breaks through conventional rhythmic patterns and tempo limitations. The resulting EP Guidelines offers a singularly propulsive form of mind-bending club music that sounds refreshingly alien, but remains steeped in tradition. Performed live during Rewire, bela will introduce their contemporary fusion of Nongak with experimental club music.

bela performs on Saturday 9 April.
