More Information

Chromeo -

Chromeo are P-Thugg and Dave 1, making tongue-in-cheek, slicker-than-slick electronic pop and funked up two-step disco. Perfect for any party.

Crystal Castles -

Canadian electro from Toronto's boy-girl duo Crystal Castles, whose lo-fi approach to the genre makes their music both sweet and sincere whilst being every bit as punk as the rest. '...hit and run electropop, flailing, pulsing beeps smashed over an evil beat and driven onward by an incomprehensible shrieked vocal.' - Drowned In Sound.

CSS -

Formed in 2003, the 5 girls and 1 boy started the band as a good excuse to go out drinking and the only one able to produce a decent sound from their instrument was the drummer. However, just 3 years later in early 2006 they signed with Sub Pop and released their debut album 'Lets Make Love As We Listen To Death From Above'.

Digitalism -

German electronic indie act Digitalism, fusing disco beats and catchy vocals to create a truly unique sound. The duo have also produced remixes for the likes of Tom Vek, The Futureheads, Daft Punk, Tiga, Klaxons and Depeche Mode.

Lethal Bizzle -

Lethal Bizzle first blasted onto the scene with East London collective The More Fire Crew and their club banger 'Oi' in 2001. He soon went solo creating more chart success with 'Pow' in 2004, his first major label release 'Against All Oddz' hitting the streets in 2005.

Robots In Disguise -

Elusive and quirky space and trash electro pop duo - probably most famous for their parts played as Neon and Ultra (or Anthrax and Ebola) in the BBC hit comedy 'The Mighty Boosh'. Sue Denim and Dee Plume form the duo, and have enjoyed much publicity and have toured Britain and Europe with only more to come. 'Don't miss the flight - get RID!'

Simian Mobile Disco -

Debaucherous minimalist rave from London duo James Ford and James Shaw. Using the kind of vintage minimal beats that only a 1980's Casio can produce, this eccentric pair somehow manage to make techno sexy with their use of static vocals and fragmented rhythms; '...twisted disco as it should be.' - RoughTrade

The Whip -

Deliciously dark electro-pop from Manchester four piece The Whip, whose music is a heady mix of disco beats and eighties synths. 'Cool metallic pop. Bunker-busting hooks…' - NME

For more information, see the website

Holy F*** -

Holy F*ck started with a simple concept, to mimic modern,electronic music without using modern fail-safes like laptops and programmed backing tracks so they armed themselves with a drum set, a bass guitar, a myriad of toy keyboards, guitar peddles, mixers and even a 35mm film synchronizer and hit the stage. NME named them as one of their top 3 performances when they appeared at Glastonbury.
