London-based composer, producer, and singer Lauren Auder returns with “yes”, her first release since 2023 — a euphoric love song co-produced with dviance and Alex Parish. Blending house-influenced pianos, Madchester-inspired grooves, and tightly delivered lyricism, the track captures the rush and tumbling sensation of falling in love. Following her critically acclaimed debut album the infinite spine and collaborations with Caroline Polachek, Celeste, and Vegyn, Auder continues to expand her baroquely orchestrated pop universe — one that bridges classical, post-rock, and experimental sounds with raw emotional clarity.

To mark this new chapter, FIGURA is inviting Lauren to a special live show, offering audiences an intimate first glimpse into her next era.

Following a sold-out show at The ICA in London, Florence Sinclair will partner with FIGURA for a second instalment in Manchester on October 9th.

Florence Sinclair is the turbulent force refreshing the UK underground sound with their elegantly sharp sound and unflinching stage presence. After a breakout debut Gentle Decay (a sparsely cinematic exploration of memories and dreams - Document Journal), their idiosyncrasy is solidified in the following releases - It’s a Big Man Ting and departures, wonders & tears.

Beloved by peers and pioneers alike, Florence has remixed Sega Bodega’s Set Me Free, I’m an Animal, collaborated with Iceboy Violet and Klein, and most recently saw their haunting White Horse soundtrack Alexander McQueen’s SS25 show by Seán McGirr.

An enigmatic producer and singer-songwriter hailing from the UK, Florence Sinclair crafts hazy, genre-blurring music that’s captivated a devoted following since their 2021 debut, Gentle Decay.

Their sound fuses early grime and hip-hop influences with dreamy, cinematic atmospheres, where haunted club beats dissolve into vivid field recordings and intimate chamber pop. A fusion of Black British culture and history, their work reinvents familiar themes for a new generation.

To close Porto/Post/Doc Film & Media Festival, we presented Voice Actor at the historic Passos Manuel Cinema. Her work blurs the line between poetry, performance, and production—spoken-word narratives unfolding over ambient and electronic textures. Subtle yet evocative visuals deepened the atmosphere, heightening the tension between sound and space.

For our Frieze 2024 takeover, we collaborated with My Galerina and INFXX to host a sold-out night at Electrowerkz. Featuring New York (live), John T Gast, Cõvco, JKQ (Josiane Pozi b2b Klein), Solomon Garçon (live), Rat Section, Prince Kongo (live), Melodramatics, DJ Kitkocame one of the most sought-after during Frieze week—an unmissable moment in London’s cultural calendar.

For our launch event, we welcomed Lorenzo Senni back to London after a six-year hiatus. A tireless investigator of dance music’s mechanisms, his work deconstructs and amplifies euphoric motifs, suspending them in a perpetual state of tension. Hosted at the ICA, the sold-out, high energy night set the tone for what’s to come. Supporting him was Vanessa Bedoret, a violinist, vocalist, aMyGalerinar whose practice bends the classical form into new, uncharted spaces.
