**futureimage** · August 3, 2015

Massive night at Corsica Studios on 15 August. Plaid launch their Elektron EP, Mr Switch does his mega-DJ thing, loads of plenty good people supporting and DJing. Come check it. Here's the official listing:

Diskordance and The Dodo Club have joined forces to bring a mind bending underground elektro all-nighter over two rooms.

The stage is set for an evening of analogue beats, ethereal harmonies, futuristic breaks, elektro, and turntablism in association with Elektron and Native Instruments (Traktor), two of the most forward thinking and innovative companies in the world of DJing and audio production.

The event celebrates legendary duo, Plaid's official E.P. launch, and the highly anticipated label launch of Elektron Grammofon.

Plaid's one off live analogue performance of exclusive tracks from the limited Elektron E.P. will be supported by unheard, unreleased, and completely original LIVE material.

Strictly limited pre sale copies of the vinyl e.p. will be available on the night.

The event also marks Mr Switch’s debut on Native Instruments Traktor Scratch software. The 4 x DMC world champion and unrivalled master of scratch will be performing a special set of elements from his incredible scratch routines.

Alongside these headline acts, Diskordance and The Dodo club have curated a line up of flourishing talent from the contemporary and experimental electronic music scene; from the innovatively creative to the wilfully obscure.
