An extra special Algorave at Millennium Gallery Live Lates, teaming up with Sheffield's brand new ALGOMECH festival + DANGERNOISE audio, to bring together top algorithmic and mechanical dance music producers and visualists from around the world.

 

"The scene at an algorave is often what you'd expect from any good techno night - a dark room, engaging visuals. a decent, bass-heavy speaker set-up, and lots of people ready to dance. .. performers at algoraves respond to each other and the audience in real time, often projecting the lines of code onto the walls as they type. lt’s coding as improvisation and experiment.." - The Wire magazine

 

Heavy line-up emerging:

 

Renick Bell (uiq/uk) - bringing his Fractal Beats sound from Tokyo.. His forward-thinking take on algorave can be heard on this mix: https://dotheastralplane.com/2016/06/30/renick-bell-mix-for-the-astral-plane/ and upcoming releases on UIQ, Halcyon Veil + Beatgatherers.

AlgoBabez (uk) - Joanne + Shelly from England's North, whose live coded synths+patterns are rocking algoraves around the world -- great apart, better together: 2 babes, 2 laptops and 1 sound.

went to an algorave event in Manchester some months back and had a good time, chatting nerdy shit to people and seeing a new method of music production was quite cool. (Think I caught Rituals there?), hoping to get to the next Manc event. Would love to see the Mechanical Techno thing live, the video is fascinating.

If you want to catch the mechanical techno, Sheffield is only 50 mins away on the train, and the venue is 5 mins walk from the station :)
