KIKUMU is back!
Four days of cinema, art and music!
Music. 7 stages both outdoors and indoors: a large outdoor stage, 4 indoor stages, Kali Beach and for the first time, the beautiful Jäneda Manor will also become a festival venue! Our guests include A Guy Called Gerald & Black Secret Technology – the only performance of the world’s most influential jungle album of all time in our region! In addition, the rising star of London jazz fusion Divine Earth and, at the request of the audience and the master himself, DJ Gilles Peterson will be back!
The list of foreign artists is growing, but be prepared for mega surprises! This time, the Kali Beach stage will be dedicated to 3 different scenes for 3 days. Kirke Karja, Ans. Andur, Meisterjaan, Haigla Pidu, Mutant Disco Classics and more will take the stage. The new Atrium stage will be heating up non-stop dance music.
The cinema program includes cult films of Püha Sõprus cinema program and more recent material from the Sundance and Cannes film festivals, as well as some Estonian premieres.
Art program. Legendary Estonian older and younger artists and foreign shakers both indoors and outdoors. Several local art galleries will be showing their works. Also, you will be shown the best of video art from the world, for example films from Matthew Barney's Cremaster Cycle series. This year's art is not just for looking at, but also for making and talking about.
New programs!
KIKUMU Nature – wild and creative hikes around Nelijärve and Kalijärve.
KIKUMU Kids – workshops and activities for the little ones and the whole family. The trampoline will also be pumped up.
KIKUMU Talks – in collaboration with Levila, talks on media, culture, society and technology will be heard.
KIKUMU Running Club – a healthy body, a healthy mind!
The heart and one of the main speakers of the festival is the Jäneda Learning Center (Jäneda Õppekeskus), designed by Valve Pormeister and built in 1975 next to the Jäneda Manor House, a former state farm technical school. The exceptional modernist building is among the 10 most important buildings in Estonia of the last 100 years! The main building of Jäneda Manor, completed in 1915, will also be opened for the festival for the first time. This is the place where the father of science fiction H.G. Wells, and Estonia's own Mata Hari, the Jäneda Manor House Lady Mura, have spent their summers.
Jäneda Training Centre is just an hour’s drive from the capital Tallinn. The festival can also be easily reached by train on the Tallinn–Tartu or Tallinn–Aegviidu line.

Event Type: Music

On Saturday 2nd May, The Sub Rooms welcomes legendary UK electronic music producer A Guy Called Gerald, for a powerful LIVE show hosted by Normski, alongside special guests including The Jungle Drummer and vocalists David Simpson and Yeukai Makoni, with DJ sets from Colin Dale and Will B.

A Guy Called Gerald operates in a state of permanent evolution. While the history books rightfully cite him as a primary architect of the UK’s electronic DNA - the man behind the Hacienda-defining “Voodoo Ray” and a founding member of 808 State - Gerald has never been one for the retrospective circuit.

He’s a musician who treats the studio as a laboratory and the stage as a testing ground for his ongoing experiments in ‘black secret technology’, collaborating with David Bowie, Cabaret Voltaire, Black Uhuru, Finley Quaye, Lamb, Tricky and The Stone Roses. From the proto-jungle blueprints of albums such as “28 Gun Bad Boy” and “Black Secret Technology” to his later explorations in modular synthesis and avant-garde jazz fusion, Gerald’s career is a masterclass in staying ahead of the curve.

The night will be hosted by Normski, a leading authority on urban and contemporary culture, who has had a prolific career in the field of music, television, photography, fashion and journalism. His new book, ‘The Man with the Golden Shutter’, features iconic photographs of Public Enemy, N.W.A., Cypress Hill, De La Soul, Goldie, Ice-T, Run DMC, and Wu-Tang Clan.

Colin Dale is a foundational DJ in UK dance music history. In 1985 he co-founded the mighty KISS FM in its pirate radio days. He then went on to launch his Abstrakt Dance radio show which was hugely influential, inviting (often for their first UK appearances) artists including the Underground Resistance crew, Stacey Pullen, Laurent Garnier, Kevin Saunderson, Carl Craig, Derrick May, Richie Hawtin, Aphex Twin, Dave Angel, Carl Cox and many more. Abstrakt Dance was first broadcast in 1993 and both Colin and the show became crucial in techno circles worldwide. He continues to DJ and broadcast regularly, staying true to form over four decades, consistently representing the core elements of experimental dance music evolution.

The Jungle Drummer is a force of nature on the club and festival circuit all over the world, with released works on Metalheadz, live performances and DJ shows encompassing a variety of styles and genres. He’s performed with London Elektricity and was an integral part of this groundbreaking show. He has also played with Rodney P and Killa-Kela, breakbeat pioneers Coldcut, Radiohead, NIgel Godrich, Raw Hill Cru, DJ Fresh, Shy FX, A Guy Called Gerald and Faith SFX.

Will B is a London based DJ/Producer and owner of Super Culture Music. He’s been circulating the realms of underground club culture for decades, delivering a kaleidoscope of sounds to the floor, from deep underground house to techno-soul, disco, funk and everything in between. He is the originator of influential London club nights Secretsundaze & Need2Know as well as cult label Latenite Productions. He is also the co-founder of the infamous HeadsNFreaks parties. Recent productions appeared on Strictly Jaz Unit (Chicago)

-Breaking beats since 1988-

Icono indiscutible de la música electrónica, A Guy Called Gerald es sinónimo de innovación constante, excelencia artística y una independencia inquebrantable. Figura clave en la evolución del dance británico, fue uno de los catalizadores del movimiento acid house en el Reino Unido con el clásico de 1988 “Voodoo Ray”, además de sentar las bases del jungle y el drum & bass en los años posteriores.

Criado en Moss Side, Manchester, en el seno de una familia jamaicana, Gerald creció inmerso en la cultura sound system y en la escena underground de soul, funk y jazz fusión del norte de Inglaterra. Su formación inicial en danza contemporánea marcó profundamente su enfoque musical: desde el principio creó música pensada para el movimiento, para el cuerpo, para la pista. Inspirado por el electro-funk neoyorquino, el acid house de Chicago y el techno de Detroit, comenzó a tejer un lenguaje propio combinando todas esas influencias en una visión única y futurista.

A finales de los 80 fue cofundador del influyente grupo 808 State, participando en su álbum debut Newbuild (1988) y en el icónico tema “Pacific State”. En paralelo, su himno “Voodoo Ray” se convirtió en la primera gran bandera del acid house británico, mientras “Blow Your House Down” alcanzaba estatus de culto en el underground estadounidense.

En 1992 publicó 28 Gun Bad Boy, considerado el primer álbum de jungle de la historia, y en 1995 consolidó su papel como arquitecto del género con Black Secret Technology, obra fundamental en el desarrollo del drum & bass.

Aunque su catálogo de remixes incluye nombres como David Bowie, Cabaret Voltaire, Black Uhuru, Finley Quaye, Lamb, Tricky o The Stone Roses, es su producción propia —siempre personal, siempre independiente— la que ha definido su legado. Gerald nunca ha seguido tendencias: las ha creado.

Con once álbumes y más de tres décadas de trayectoria independiente, continúa expandiendo los límites de la música electrónica, girando por todo el mundo y llevando su inconfundible espíritu “True School” a una escena a menudo saturada de fórmulas prefabricadas.

-Breaking beats since 1988-

An undisputed icon of electronic music, A Guy Called Gerald is synonymous with constant innovation, artistic excellence, and uncompromising independence. A key figure in the evolution of British dance music, he was one of the catalysts of the UK acid house movement with the 1988 classic “Voodoo Ray”, while also laying the foundations for jungle and drum & bass in the years that followed.

Raised in Moss Side, Manchester, within a Jamaican family, Gerald grew up immersed in sound system culture and the underground soul, funk, and jazz-fusion scene of Northern England. His early training in contemporary dance deeply shaped his musical approach: from the very beginning, he created music designed for movement, for the body, for the dancefloor.

Inspired by New York electro-funk, Chicago acid house, and Detroit techno, he began weaving his own unique language, blending these influences into a futuristic and visionary sound.

In the late 1980s, he co-founded the influential group 808 State, contributing to their debut album Newbuild (1988) and the iconic track “Pacific State”. At the same time, his anthem “Voodoo Ray” became the first major flag of British acid house, while “Blow Your House Down” reached cult status in the US underground scene.

In 1992, he released 28 Gun Bad Boy, considered the first jungle album ever, and in 1995 he cemented his role as an architect of the genre with Black Secret Technology, a milestone in the development of drum & bass.

While his remix catalogue includes artists such as David Bowie, Cabaret Voltaire, Black Uhuru, Finley Quaye, Lamb, Tricky, and The Stone Roses, it is his own productions—always personal, always independent—that have defined his legacy. Gerald has never followed trends: he has created them.

With eleven albums and over three decades of independent work, he continues to push the boundaries of electronic music, touring worldwide and bringing his unmistakable “True School” spirit to a scene often saturated with pre-packaged formulas.

Dweller Electronics, as a festival, occurs annually in the last week of February as a culmination event with respect to Black History Month. This Friday and Saturday, they take over all three rooms of 233 with a formidable lineup spanning genres.

A name synonymous with the invention of acid house, jungle, drum ‘n’ bass, and British electronic music as it is today, A Guy Called Gerald’s track record spans over 20 years of releases and collaborations, including projects with Frankie Knuckles, Goldie, Herbie Hancock, David Bowie, Tricky, Roman Fluegel, and The Orb. Now, with live sets regularly flowing anywhere from two to 14 hours, he maintains his top-lauded reputation with effortless cool. Born in the Congo, Melika Ngombe Kolongo began using the moniker Nkisi after moving to London in 2012. Her intense, powerful club tracks are equally influenced by African polyrhythms as they are hardcore techno, where gabber kicks and metallic percussions lie relentlessly experimental.

In The Atrium, two artists living on opposite continents but whose labels showcase the weirder sides of electronic music. CARISTA [United Identities] imbues jacking house and techno with electro, hyperpop, hard-hitting percussion, and rave-jazz flourishes. Spurge runs Eto Ano. His musical knowledge is bolstered by a decade in the New York nightlife community, where a chameleonic approach to dance has seen him jump from dancehall to techno to rock and anywhere beyond. Human Head honcho and PR resident Shawn Dub takes a seat UPSTAIRS, where the dynamism is just as far-reaching.
