MODULAR MEETS
After the success of last years MODULAR MEETS THE ELEKTRONS I’m co-running another event with Ben Hex of DivKid fame.
Date is Sat 20 Aug, venue is Belgrave Music Hall, Leeds UK.
Most likely a midday kick off running into the early eve.
Full details to follow but I can say…
We have something that will recieve its first ever public viewing, until then, it’s a secret 
SonicState will be there again doing interviews & gathering content.
There will be several short live performances during the day thru a D&B sound system.
The event will be free entry.
It will be an opportunity to get your hands on loads of gear :-
ALM - Make Noise - Mutable Istruments - Hex Inverter - Serge - Bugbrand - Abstract Data - Tiptop - The Harvestman - Elektron - Gotharman - Sequentix - Teenage Engineering - Koma - Doepfer - to name a few
Like last year there will be loads of raffle giveaways, (proceeds to music based charity - Hoot Creative Arts).
There’'ll be a bar selling real ales, cider & that weird Southern thing called lager! A pizzeria, burger bar, & fresh coffee on site too.
10 min walk from Train/Bus station. Ample parking close by.
Would love to see some Elektron supporters there!
Anyone wanting to bring their system & requiring table space PM me plz.

I’ll be along for this! Enjoyed the last one. I’m concerned though as I find myself closer to the modular rabbithole now, this might push me over the edge.
A secret made in Manchester perhaps? 
Gonna be away in Edinburgh 
Cool, be good to see you & help you down the rabbit hole 
As a fictitious political figure frequently said, ‘you might think so, I couldn’t possibly comment’
James! What on Earth could Edinburgh offer you that Leeds can’t provide in spades? Shame man, be plenty of online content for you catch up tho
Theatre work again for a month. Good news is I’m taking my machines
I can now announce that the product launch is indeed the new synth from Behringer!
Had some time with it & it sounds wicked. Obviously owning T.C. Electronics & Midas has had an impact. Come down & check it out
