Forest Swords is electronic producer, composer and visual artist Matthew Barnes, based in Liverpool.

Barnes is known for rewiring sounds into innovative and unique new worlds, most recently on the acclaimed album Bolted (Ninja Tune), remixes for the likes of Bjork, and collaborations with Massive Attack and Neneh Cherry.

His immersive albums and live shows (seen at festivals worldwide such as Sonar, Unsound and Glastonbury) explore the powerful in-between spaces between ancient and future sounds, melancholy and euphoria, light and dark.

Barnes' work as a composer includes music for the Oslo National Ballet, pieces at Shanghai Biennale and Melbourne Triennial, and a production of the Greek tragedy Fedra, currently touring across Italy's oldest outdoor theatres. Support TBC.

Her career quickly took off with UK residencies and recognition as a Mixmag Future Hero, leading to a spot with the influential label Nukleuz. Known for a style that has evolved from fast-paced beats to layered, melodic techno and organic house, Banxi crafts atmospheric sets that connect deeply with her audiences.

Her international career includes residencies in Ibiza and Goa, as well as standout performances like a memorable set on the Great Wall of China. Banxi’s sets are known for their energy and immersive journeys, drawing from her extensive travels and influences. Since relocating from Ibiza in 2020, she’s become a fixture in Brighton’s music scene, performing at events like Berlin-Brighton and the Brighton Music Conference, where she’s supported artists like Timo Maas.
