Gary King
I am Blip; 22 year old, Glasgow based producer, with a penchant for filth. one of the few people in the current scene not to use a laptop or ableton or reason. opting instead for purely hardware based synthesis for a rawer, dirtier sound. since the end of 2005 has played plenty of live set in ever larger venues, and better known club nights, including Inner City Acid in january with Si Begg, supporting Shy Child at the Arches and Alex Smoke @ the Reading Rooms.
Hostage; one of the forerunners of the fidget house movement and total mash up merchant. his myspace lists his influences as; strobe lights * cider * sleep deprivation and noise. Playing 90% of his own material and a few bangers from other artists thrown in for good measure, this man is a pure animal behind the dex and his tracks are silly as hell. Always good fun
Itchy, Glitchy, Techy! that's the only words i can find to describe Ingen's Music. Expect to be battered with a wall of sound for the last hour of wonky, as this man is coming at you like a ton of bricks. Resident at Edinburgh's infamous Split club, he has built a reputation for his live sets and this one promises to be extra special with a more experimental twist, i can't wait to hear what he has up his sleeve.
Gary King might be new to a lot of people but this shy DJ has been playing in his room for over 10 years, so i've kicked his arse and told him to get out there and my god has he shone? instantly securing his self a place as resident warm up this guy has the wonkiest beats i've heard. I can guarantee you'll wobbling about doing the Mr Soft dance as soon as you walk in to the room.
Absolute Chancer. "It's been a while since i put together a set of massive proportions for a gig so i thought i'd step in and set a bench mark. spanning pretty much every genre expect to hear a bit of Cut-up, Glitch, Click, Wonk, Wobble and any other style i care to invent on the night."
