# Event Details - **Event Name**: ctrl LIVE: Antony Szmierek [UK], Diana Căldăraru [RO] - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 08 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: ctrl LIVE: Berlin Room -- Antony Szmierek [UK] [Pop-Poetry] [Indie Hip-Hop] [Dance] -- Diana Căldăraru [RO] [R&B] [Soul] Hip hop, house, spoken word, and rave collide in the hands of one wildly charismatic Mancunian - Antony Szmierek, live on Wednesday, April 8, 2026. The past few years have been a whirlwind: he cut his teeth on Manchester’s spoken-word scene, earning a reputation for a seamless flow that slices through the mess of modern British life while finding unexpected beauty in the everyday, then got to be recognized on the streets. - “Fundamentally British yet beautifully universal” DIY ***** - Nostalgic beats and smooth indie riffs meet introspective lyrics that provide comfort and show a way out of spiralling thoughts through intricate wordplay. In the backstreets of indie and rap, poetry slams and illegal house raves, Szmierek is currently assembling the sound of the present. - “lyrics that plenty of post-punk bands would dream of penning are backed up by chameleonic, club-tastic soundscapes” NME **** - Originally released earlier this year to a wave of five-star reviews, the expanded edition of his album “Service Station at the End of the Universe” features fan-favourite singles ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Fallacy,’ ‘The Great Pyramid of Stockport,’ ‘Yoga Teacher,’ and ‘Angie’s Wedding,’ alongside two new tracks: ‘That Face You Make When It’s Raining’ and ‘Girlypops.’ The earworming record soon found its way onto the BBC 6 Music airwaves and led Szmierek to be named an Artist of the Year 2023 by the station and a Time Out Artist to Watch in 2024. There followed appearances on Later… with Jools Holland, a BBC Radio 1 Maida Vale session, multiple triumphant Glastonbury sets and a flurry of comparisons: to the pavement prose of The Streets, the poetry of John Cooper Clarke if he found himself at the Haçienda, or like Jarvis Cocker for the UK Garage generation. __ Antony Szmierek - The Great Pyramid of Stockport https://youtu.be/XP8fS9WuGqU?si=Sgi-NbcvEt-Fh_ho __ Opening act: Diana Căldăraru - a Romanian artist blending traditional elements of soul and R&B with a contemporary, personal touch, enriching her sound with vibrant and lush harmonies on the piano.
