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 :imp:

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.

More to come…

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? :wink:

#5

Gonna be away in Edinburgh :frowning:

As a fictitious political figure frequently said, ‘you might think so, I couldn’t possibly comment’ :slight_smile:

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 :slight_smile:

#9

Theatre work again for a month. Good news is I’m taking my machines :slight_smile:

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 :slight_smile:
