FROST announces a brand-new live show premiering at Alphabet in Brighton on Friday 13th February 2026, launching alongside the release of a forthcoming album.
Pushing the boundaries of live electronic performance from behind a drum kit, FROST uses fractured polyrhythms, displaced beats, and glitched loops to blend electronica, post-rock, minimalism, and jazz, merging the synthetic with the organic.
The event will debut a newly designed live show crossing into the realm of installation – lighting and moving images will be synchronised and reactive to the performance, creating a fully immersive environment. The set will premiere predominantly new material, with full album details to follow soon.
Curated by FROST, the night also features opening sets from Xylitol and Benji Jeffrey.

“Two artists I have known for a long time and hold in the highest regard. Benji I have known from various art/music scenes in South London, have always loved all aspects of his varied creative output, but seeing him recently conduct an entire orchestra whilst singing lead vocals on a song named ‘bcc’ made me realise he simply HAD to open the show!

I connected to Catherine (Xylitol) shortly after the lockdown-era once live shows returned. I was instantly a huge fan of her work, the chopped-up rapid rhythms mixed with raw synths really resonated with me. It was a no-brainer to ask if she would be up for delivering one of her mesmerising live sets for the event and fortunately she said yes! I’m ecstatic to have both of them onboard for this show.”

Xylitol is the electronic music project of DJ, broadcaster and writer Catherine Backhouse. As DJ Bunnyhausen she was resident DJ at the seminal London Krautrock club Kosmische, and she is a lifelong fan of jungle and hardcore. Her most recent album ‘Anemones’ was released by Planet Mu and connects the dots between Jungle, UKG and cosmic electronic music while also drawing on the subaquatic aesthetics of Drexciya and 1990s ambient jungle. She is one half of Slav to the Rhythm, DJing synth wave, disco and experimental music from Central and Eastern Europe.

Benji Jeffrey is an artist, musician and fool who makes performances integrating sounds with silliness and sometimes profundity.

Liz Wilson is an artist whose practice explores the stretch of time between the industrial and post-industrial; in particular the beginning of automation and how this is altering our relationships with technology.
