VENETIAN SNARES

The badman returns to Manchester! February 26th sees a rare visit on UK soil from Aaron Funk, the prolific Canadian DJ and producer best known for his ground-breaking work as Venetian Snares. In terms of legends, they don't come much bigger... Funk has recorded a total of 22 albums (most released through Mike Paradinas' pioneering Planet Mu label, 20 singles and has been credited by the late John Peel as the man responsible for re-inventing breakcore. His otherworldly sound is hard to place... covering ground including dark orchestral, hyper-speed jungle and grating noise and often recorded in odd time signatures such as 7/4... furious rhythms that still retain a killer dancefloor edge. This will be the 1st time that Aaron has played live in Manchester... as you will agree, unmissable!

NEIL LANDSTRUMM

Since his first releases in the early 1990's Neil has grown to be one of the most consistent and respected electronic music producers, releasing his bleep heavy take on techno, dubstep and rave on a diverse range of labels including Tresor, Peacefrog and most recently Mike Paradinas' Planet Mu imprint.

VHS HEAD

There has been a lot of speculation over the identity of VHS head since his first release on Manchester's Skam in 2009. All we know is that he produced one of the albums of 2010 with Trademark Ribbons of Gold, with it's icy spikes of digital glitch and barrage of samples lifted from a collection of video tapes.
