VENETIAN SNARES - NEW LIVE SHOW

The badman returns to Manchester! February 26th sees a rare visit in the North of England 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 released a total of 22 albums (mostly 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 - spanning dark orchestral, hyper-speed jungle and grating noise and often recorded in unusual 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.

he wasn't playing live then though... that was a DJ set.

this time it's live... machines, analogue gear etc.

Yeah, he had CD decks then it think...

I miss the Sequence nights...Vibert at the attic with Mr.76ix in 2007!.. was a particular favourite!

Fuck! i missed that! woulda loved to have gone to that one

ah reet, i'll let the big sod off then

I'd only come down to this if I was meeting up, don't think I could afford paying on accommodation but a sofa from a friend is something else :/

one hell of a good looking night there!

I'll be heading over to this after seeing Mogwai at the Academy...should be a cracker!

last few tickets left guys!

shit, i wanted to go to this. any chance they'll be selling on the door?

hey fondles, there'll be a limited number at the door but you're gonna have to get there early. see you there!

decided at the last minute to come into town and attend this. Queued up for a good half hour (arrived far too late) but managed to get a ticket on the door. I've been to a fair few shit nights @ the Jabez Clegg so good to see it proper rammed full of people.

Landstrumm (i think?) played some great steppy techno in the main room. Also really impressed by Bambooman in room 2, played a brilliant set of his own Fly-Lo-esque wonky downtempo, and a genuinely nice bloke too. Don't remember catching VHS Head, caught most of Snares but left as the speedcore was creeping in tbh

Saw loads of familar faces I hadn't seen for a very long time, top night

top night

Aye, 'twas a good 'un!
