Important events in our universe
The Wysing Festival in rural Cambridgeshire last weekend saw a female-artist-focussed line-up on a thrillingly diverse date out that ranged from abstract experimentation to shouty indie and gothic disco jams. Melissa Steiner reports on great sets from the likes of Holly Herndon, Nik Colk Void, Helena Hauff, Woolf, Trash Kit, and various Raincoats.
