For 15 years, Chaos Theory has been a vital force in the underground music scene, championing sounds from the outer edges of heavy and experimental music. More than promoting, Chaos Theory curate experiences, bringing together artists and audiences who crave something beyond the ordinary, and have built a reputation for showcasing some of the most forward thinking and immersive live acts around. These gigs have always felt like gatherings of kindred spirits, where music becomes a shared language: heard, felt and understood like a collective heartbeat.
Getting to the Underworld for this celebration on the 8th March, however, was its own battle. London is often unforgiving?transport unreliable, traffic at a standstill, parking nonexistent. No matter how much I tried to plan, the city had other ideas, so I found myself missing out on the first two bands, Morag Tong and Codex Serafini. Frustrating, yet not surprising. Still, the second I set foot inside the venue, all that stress dispersed. Warm greetings, familiar faces, and the intoxicating hum of anticipation filled the air. The night was already in motion, and despite the commotion outside, I had arrived exactly where I was meant to be.
