---Team Doyobi:

Legendary electronic duo formed by multi talented artists Alex Peverett and Chris Gladwin.
Team Doyobi are the authoritative upholders of the UK digitally created music scene from the early stage when they where using obsolete computers (Commodore Amiga) as serious musical instruments, cutting the chip sounds out of video games and presenting it to audiences used to techno, breaks or IDM. In over a decade Team Doyobi has released numerous audio records on respectable labels such as Skam, FatCat Records, Alku, Icasea. Currently they are signed to the Skam Records label, noticeable for its solid music catalog (Autechre, Boards of Canada, Bola, Gescom and Jega)."
For this occasion they are doing a special A/V set.
Their music has been a massive influence to us.

---Cygnus:

Hailing from Dallas, TX, USA, Cygnus is definitely one of the most exciting Electro producer of the moment. He has released several records with labels like the amazing Sheffield based CPU (Central Processing Unit) Records, ICASEA and his own venture Biosoft records.
He recently toured with Rob Hall and Autechre in the USA and his livesets are just incredible. On a recent italian interview DJ Stingray quotes Cygnus as one of his favourite producers at the moment.
If you are into the sound of Dopplereffekt, Drexciya, The Other People Place and all that world, you can't go wrong with this.

---VHS Head:

Another Skam Records main act, Still one of electronic music's best kept secrets, Blackpool-based Adrian Blacow first emerged in 2009 with the EP Video Club. Hidden inside its pitch black casing was what can only be described as a filthy menagerie of mangled plunderphonics derived from archived VHS tapes, welded furiously to digitised analogue arpeggios and grizzled, hacked-up beats.
