Ultre

Ultre is Finn McNicholas, a 24-year-old musician from Northern England who started his musical career performing in “loud bands” in the independent music scene.

Ultre has already made an impact on the live circuit playing his energised and beautiful sets with the likes of (Chris) Clark, Tim Exile, Freeform, Carsten Nicolai and Max Tundra. He has performed live visuals alongside Squarepusher, Aphex Twin and Plaid with Flat-e.
