KNOCKENGORROCH
Scotland’s longest running greenfield festival | Est. 1998
https://www.knockengorroch.org.uk
Knockengorroch Festival was born from a love of the land, excellent roots music and celebrating the good times. They present unparalleled music, arts and workshops in a beautiful mountain riverside meadow, located deep in the Southern Uplands of Scotland.
In times long past the native hills and streams of Scotland shaped its music. Stream becomes river, rural track becomes urban street, the musical landscape of today’s global village is diverse, both urban and rurally inspired. But all music speaks a universal language.
Knockengorroch promotes multi-cultural forms and musical genres, highlighting the connection between roots music and the lands and people that created it. Music from all continents is presented alongside the best in Scottish talent to showcase music in both traditional and contemporary fields.

Here at THE FERRET, we’re happy to collaborate with this excellent family-run festival to present a Preston party inspired by the sounds of Knockengorroch. Samson Sounds & Morphamish travel down from Scotland to give us a taste of the late-night atmosphere you can find in Knockengorroch’s fields. They’re joined by local talents Tyramyx & Luke Out, as we bring you a night of hearty rhythm, hefty bass & positive dancefloor vibrations.

Luke Breen (aka MrBreen / Luke Out) began his DJ journey in the early 2000s with Herbal Sessions Soundsystem, playing at venues like Preston’s iconic Caribbean Club. As a visual artist, he led the OneFiveEight collective (2008-2018), which gained recognition for underground exhibitions, workshops, and publications, all driven by a DIY ethos and a commitment to supporting underrepresented artists in both visual arts and music. After moving to Manchester, Luke became a regular DJ at club nights, free parties, and festivals like Beat Herder, Kendal Calling, and Sounds From The Other City.
Now settled back in Preston with his family, Luke regularly DJs at local bars and clubs, delivering eclectic sets that could span anything from Jazz, Latin and Hip-Hop to Afrobeat, Funk, Deep House, and Jungle—always infused with Soul.

TEMPORARY BODIES
(Utopian Mechanics)
https://linktr.ee/utopian.mechanics
Temporary Bodies is the new project from Preston-based artist Mike Warburton (Barium Network / Utopian Mechanics). Based entirely around live, improvised performance - on-the-spot loops are fed through an array of fx pedals to create layers of sonorous strings and pads, swirling ambient textures and melodies that range from the Baroque to the bleak.
Inspired by the characteristics of artists like Grouper, MJ Guider, Silent Servant and Deaf Center amongst many more, Temporary Bodies also uses hypnotic drum loops, orchestral motifs and sparse vocals to build a dense, cathartic experience that guides the listener through themes of loss and longing into a place of quiet optimism.
