SECONDS is where Setaoc Mass and Phara come together. Setaoc Mass, aka Sam Coates, has spent 15+ years carving out his sound across techno, IDM and experimental music, represented on his labels SK_Eleven and SK_X. Beyond the booth, he is involved in Ukrainian war activism and runs sound design studio Studio Costae. SK_Eleven is where his path with Phara first crossed in 2019, the start of many b2bs and a friendship that runs deeper than music. Belgian Fuse resident Phara builds his sound from 90s warehouse DNA. Vinyl-only since his early teenage years, with releases on Token and his own label Phaaar. From that first meeting in 2019, through multiple appearances on the Fuse label and their first b2b at Fuse in 2024, their connection grew into something that needed its own name. SECONDS is that name, and XRDS26 is where they bring it for the very first time on Saturday at the Bridge Stage.
