Unsound Festival have announced details for a "mini-festival" next month in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia.

Organizers are calling Unsound Tbilisi "a small step in what we hope will be a longer relationship between Unsound and curators and artists in Georgia." The event will take place over two nights at Mtkvarze, a venue overlooking the Kura River (which, in Georgian, is called Mtkvarze). Its program presents Unsound's signature blend of leftfield club music and fully experimental acts. Headliners include Pole, Heatsick, Thomas Fehlmann and Kangding Ray. Poland and Georgia's music scenes will also be well represented. From the former camp there's Jacek Sienkiewicz (playing as Recognition), Zenial, Robert Piernikowski and Warsaw synth artist Piotr Kurek. From the latter there's Tusia Beridze, Jorjick, Nikakoi and Nika J.

Georgian electronic artist Natalie Beridze, often known as TBA, will release a new album called Forgetfulness this March.

Like much of her work to date, the new album pairs Beridze's breathy vocals and poetic lyrics with left-field electronic sounds, which range from ambient to something close to industrial. It's a style that makes her a perfect fit for Monika Enterprise, the label run by Berlin avant-garde veteran (and former Einsturzende Neubauten member) Gudrun Gut. Most of the 14 tracks are previously unreleased, while some come from What About Things Like Bullets, Beridze's EP from last summer. Acclaimed Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto makes a guest appearance on "Blue Shadow," a subtle, a characteristically delicate, piano-driven piece.
