Brooklyn based label Tri-Angle Records are renowned for their ghostly, boundary-pushing beats and were one of the most hyped dance labels of 2011. With this label showcase they bring four acts and a special guest from the Tri-Angle stable.

Evian Christ is a rising star of the North West (from Ellesmere Port) and released the acclaimed free mixtape Kings and Them via Tri-Angle last year. Using icy R&B/Hip Hop cut-ups, his production has been described by Pitchfork as ‘pitch dark behind a cryptic veil’ and by Mojo as the musical equivalent of Mark Rothko.

Holy Other takes the alien kinetics of UK garage, the euphoric highs of vocal house and the slow, sensuality of R&B and creates a sound that’s as melancholy as it is beautiful, spectral and yet slightly at unease with itself. His songs feel like a slow, solitary walk into the city night.

Ambient, spectral, doomy and synth heavy, The Haxan Cloak brings to mind British Occultism. A one man soundscape megalith, recording and performing his acclaimed debut in his London bedroom, including guitars, violins, cellos, drums, synths, home-made percussion, and field recordings.

Vessel: One of Tri-Angle’s latest signings, Vessel stands out from the latest wave of Bristol artists as part of the vanguard Young Echo crew. His sound is excitingly undefined and prone to explore fluid fusions of R&B, IDM and UK Bass.

Bristol’s DJ Cheeba is the sight and sound of Solid Steel’s new school. Always on top of emerging software, he is at the forefront of the new breed of DJs presenting audio and visuals through turntables. Mixing, scratching, cutting and remixing sounds (and pictures) in true hip hop style. Resident on Ninja Tune's Solid Steel Radio Show since 2010, he has spent the last couple of years self-releasing DVDs and relentlessly touring some of the most prestigious venues in the UK, all over Europe and beyond.

He is supported by Hot Vimto (a special joint set by two of Manchester’s finest turntablists Danny Drive Thru and G Kut), Hoya Hoya’s Jonny Dub and resident Mind on Fire DJs.

Huckaby has been an integral part of Detroit’s rich musical output over the last 15 years, both as a producer and a DJ. His two imprints, S Y N T H and Deep Transportation, have gained a reputation for quality music existing somewhere between deep house and techno. He has also become one of the busiest remixers from Detroit in recent years adding his distinctive feel to tracks from Magic Juan Atkins, Rick Wilhite, Deepchord, Vladislav Delay, Pole, Loco Dice, LoSoul, and Pacou to name but a few.

Wednesday 30th May: 7:30pm

Thrill Jockey's High Places come to the UK from LA in support of thier latest record 'Original Colours'. With their latest single 'Senora' featuring a rather disturbing video the band have really taken a different direction both musically and visual from their previous works.

We are also incredibly pleased to announce the second Manchester show for Savages. Having only played a handful of shows in London and having no music available on line this band are really making waves in the scene. And rightly so, all you need to do is watch this live video recording back in January to see what all the talk is about. These girls have SERIOUS talent.

Just announced to the line up is the wonderful Die Hexen. Creating a sound that fits somewhere in the middle of Zola Jesus and Planningtorock, this promises to be an incredibly visual experience for all!
