Electro

On Saturday’s offering from sequence. Headlining is the underground’s talisman Venetian Snares. The nom de plume for oddball funkateer Aaron Funk, Venetian Snares remains one of the most prolific and endearing producers of modern times, cannily creating smorgasbords of electronic mind-fuckery with gracious excess. He’s joined by the UK’s king of oddball electronic Luke Vibert, the Cornish impresario who’s at home crafting off kilter covers of acid house classics as he is raiding the vaults of the Biriths library music. Support comes in the shape of Mike Paradinas, Tim Exile, N>E>D, Ed DMX, DJ Rephlex Records and Bogdan Racinski. The final party of the weekend sees Scouse mainstays Circus hopping down the M62. The talismanic club night of Yousef has quickly become one of the leading institutions for house and techno in its myriad of forms across the country, this gig a further extension of that exceptional aural mandate. Naturally Yousef is down for the ride, but also enlisting Swedish house mafia Sebastian Ingrosso as part of his beats lynch mob, the Size Records man rapidly extending his glittering reputation across the globe. Nottingham sensations The Streetlife DJs, hot on the heels of their essential Mix of the year in 2007 and a prolific array of club bookings, join Krysko and Stereo Slut in support.
