granty Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I've recently started up a new night in Liverpool after moaning to a mate about how most promoters and venues are only interested in bands or club nights, and how most electronic music doesn't really work in that traditional live setup. So this thing I'm doing is more about getting local electronic producers and listeners together on a bi-monthly or so basis to play in a more relaxed, accessible, friendly atmosphere - rather than the cliquey, chin-scratchy affairs I've attended in the past. It's more akin to an open-mic night in atmosphere, you don't have to dedicate your full attention to the bands, you can chillax and kick back with your mates to a sweet soundtrack of melodic, ambient, idm, instrumental type music. The next night's on Friday 2nd October at the Well Space - Ive managed to get some really good local artists in for it, plus there'll be DJ sets and visuals going on too. Get down if you can, cheers! Forgot to mention the Facebook event page where I'll be posting updates etc https://www.facebook.com/events/870992382969554/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granty Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 this sounds really cool! It was/is! I think having played in various traditional gig environments myself, I've figured out the optimal environment and settings for idm/electronic music - it involves sitting down, sensible volume levels/being able to chit chat and drink alcohol, not too late so people can get the train home, and it also need be free. The hard part is coaxing producers out of their bedrooms. The artists/punters who came to the opening night seem to be returning though, which is a good sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granty Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Just a note to say I'm putting on another Emotion Wave night on in Liverpool - showcasing local electronic talent. It's on Friday 5th February at 81 Renshaw St. This time around we've got live sets from The Gentle Sex, Mark lawless and Lorentzian - plus DJ sets from Queen Maud. Come on down! https://www.facebook.com/events/1675572709387252 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscillik Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Tickets available on Skiddle £15 for the Saturday, but there are other venues and stuff happening over the long weekend, so that'd get you access to other stuff at Threshold too. Also the Kitchen Street venue has a Funktion One system, so the sound is gonna be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
