Electronic Ritual Meets Post-Punk
A unique sound that blends post-punk with electronic ritual is coming to Margate, courtesy of DNA Test, a trio with members from notable bands such as Snapped Ankles and the Thurston Moore Group. Their music is a thought-provoking exploration of identity, borders, and belonging.

The sound of post-punk, infused with electronic ritual, is a captivating genre that has been gaining attention in recent years, and DNA Test is a prime example of this fusion.
• The band's set-up is a key element of their sound, combining live drums, Latvian Pērkons drum machinery, and Soma Terra synths with incantatory vocals. • DNA Test's members have a rich musical background, with Martina Spetlova, Jem Doulton, and Austin being part of notable bands such as Snapped Ankles, Loggsplitter, and the Thurston Moore Group. • The project's conceptual framework is centered around the politics of DNA, borders, and belonging, questioning origin myths with wit and bite, making their music a thought-provoking experience.
On Friday, 30 October 2026, DNA Test will be performing at Where Else? in Margate, as part of the venue's 8th birthday celebration. Tickets are with the button beside the article. The band's unique sound and thought-provoking themes are sure to make for a compelling performance, and their appearance at Where Else? is a great opportunity to experience their music live.
