Usurp

**Usurp** is a Manchester-based electronic duo known for their gritty, high-energy fusion of breakbeat, electro, and techno. Active since the early 2020s, they’ve carved out a niche in the UK’s underground scene with raw, hardware-driven live sets that blend dystopian textures with dancefloor urgency. Their releases, like *HEADSET005* (via the Headset label) and tracks such as “Marine Liner” and “Anticitizen,” showcase their knack for chaotic rhythms and immersive sound design. Usurp has also collaborated with artists like Airhead and Deapmash, further cementing their reputation as innovators in the post-industrial electronic landscape. Catch them tearing up DIY spaces and clubs, including Manchester’s beloved The White Hotel.
