Manchester's Mark Stewart started producing forward thinking, arresting and astounding techno as Claro Intelecto in 2003 with the Peace of Mind 12". Now signed to Modern Love, he has since been building a fearsome live reputation across Europe. Futuresonic is proud to present this intimate and increasingly rare hometown live show. Support deep into the night comes from current London tastemakers Allez-Allez and Sequence’s very own Computer Controlled.

// Allez-Allez

Allez-Allez are Sam and Steve - current taste-makers whose blog and podcast is rapidly gaining an avid following. Their DJ style is a party mixture of all things weird, wonderful and danceable - think krautrock / minimal / industrial / house. They have a monthly party at New Cross's Amersham Arms, where guests include Four Tet, Shackleton, Nathan Fake, Basteroid and Dirty Space Disco amongst others, and promote Kompakt Records' London parties at Plastic People.
