Tarantism
Forged in the free party scene of 90s North Wales, Tarantism emerged where dub sound systems met folk-punk and techno in haunted mansions, hilltop quarries and fields alive with bass. From Glastonbury stages to DIY dancefloors, their genre-blending sound helped define a generation of underground festivals, a wild, joyful fusion that demanded you move.
Over three decades, the lineup evolved into a tight-knit family, pushing their songwriting and recordings ever further. They’ve never chased trends or cash, just emotion, energy, and evolution.
