Antony Szmierek

Antony Szmierek is a Manchester-based poet, writer, and producer who seamlessly fuses spoken word with club-ready music. His debut album 'Service Station At The End Of The Universe' blends dancefloor euphoria with sharp, introspective lyrics, spanning UK Garage to 90s indie vibes. With singles like ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Fallacy’ and ‘That Face You Make When It’s Raining,’ he’s captured the attention of BBC 6 Music and fans worldwide. Praised by NME, Observer, Dork, and Clash, Antony crafts music that is intimate, playful, and immersive. Poetry in motion, on the dancefloor and beyond.

MONOMONO/IIIOIIOIIIOIO crafts immersive sonic worlds where electro-acoustic textures, classical elements, and techno converge. The duo — violinist and sound designer Hester-1, and musician, composer, and visual artist Anne van de Star — blends raw, synthetic sound art with hypnotic rhythms, poetic fragments, and dark, pulsating walls of sound.
