Nik Colk Void

It’s entirely appropriate that Factory Floor’s resident guitar wrangler was part of a collaboration with Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti — recently released as Transverse, under the name Carter Tutti Void — because if there’s any such thing as a spiritual successor to Throbbing Gristle’s unholy racket, it’s Factory’s Floor’s, um, unholy racket. Colk’s work, both with her band and on her own, is constantly innovative — we were particularly taken by her solo release “Gold E,” an ominous feedback piece that came pressed on a playable plastic record sleeve (as seen above), the idea being that the sound will change and degrade as the material changes over time.
