Elsewhere Presents: Anna von Hausswolff @ Knockdown Center
About This Event
Elsewhere presents Anna von Hausswolff at the Knockdown Center, with support from Mechatok, Chanel Beads, Horse Vision, Car Culture and Nirosta Steel. The lineup moves between club‑informed electronic production (Mechatok), lo‑fi indie songcraft (Chanel Beads), guitar‑driven rock (Horse Vision), a blockchain‑based automotive digital‑artifact project (Car Culture), and the veteran work of Scottish musician Nirosta Steel, whose 2026 compilation My Skyscraper broadened his recognition.
About the Artists
Chanel Beads
Chanel Beads is an individual artist working at the intersection of rock/pop and lo-fi indie. In New York City, they have appeared in bills connected to Elsewhere, including Elsewhere Presents: Anna von Hausswolff at Knockdown Center alongside Mechatok and Car Culture.
Mechatok
Mechatok is a hip-hop/R&B musician and DJ whose work moves between club-ready rhythms and meticulous digital sound design. Emerging from Europe’s contemporary dance-music circuits, he has built a practice that treats production and DJing as one continuous process, often threading his own tracks into live sets.
Car Culture
Car Culture is dedicated to educating and preserving knowledge and provenance surrounding automobiles for future generations through digital artifacts and creative content powered by blockchain technologies.
Horse Vision
Horse Vision is a Rock/Pop artist heard on New York City stages, including sets at the Knitting Factory. Their work favors tight song structures and direct vocals, with arrangements that lean on guitar-driven pulse and clean hooks rather than studio gloss.
Nirosta Steel
Steven Hall, known professionally as Nirosta Steel, is a Scottish musician. A key member of the 1980s downtown arts scene in New York City, Hall garnered broader recognition with the release of the 2026 compilation album My Skyscraper.
