JAKEONE (Live @ TRONIC)

The final addition to Septembers gig, completing a terrific line up of electronic artists, musicians and bands, Jakeone will make the journey from ....London.... to exclusively play live at The Merchant City Festival. Well known from productions and live performances in his band TOOB, (along side Red Snapper drummer Rich Thair) the man has been hyped by the likes of Holden, Garnier and Weatherall, which can only be a good thing.


As solo projects go, this is something special. More a personal take on the way he sees techno and electro should be played.

 

Live programming of drums machines and synths, entertaining and engaging, those down at the Note cave are sure to be in for an aural journey. A rhythmic revolution of electronica.

TRONIC @ The Merchant City Festival.
September 26th 2pm.
The 13th Note (King Street)

A festival parade of electronic, as Tronic hosts 10 hours of live music and visuals. The extravaganza to be held at the esteemed 13th Note venue, is figuring as a key event in the internationally acclaimed Merchant City Festival 2009 calendar and will showcase some of Scotland's best electronic music and cutting edge visuals.

Unmortal

It’s Industrial, its Rave, it’s Drum and Bass, it’s fat, juicy and just plain downright filthy fantastic electronic noise.

With an already proven history of live sets and having even supported the might of Alec Empire, Unmortal was an obvious choice to inject a little bit of hardcore action into proceedings. With a live show that includes masks, costumes and who knows what else! Unmortal are set to put on some spectacle no one will forget. We cannot wait.

Leigh Myles

Unfortunately due to work commitments in Berlin, Leigh will not be able to make Glasgow appearance on 26th.

However on the plus side, there is a new addition to the festival line-up. Recently signed to ATR 'Forward Play' will perform live during the Saturday afternoon for us.
Forward Play

An Edinburgh based artist whose chilled beats are starting to break through into clubs and venues around Edinburgh and beyond. Expect a live performance containing playful edits of lovely ambient electro and emotive electronica. The lass from Leith recently was involved in 'Unique Beats' at The Fringe Festival and will add that perfect festival vibe to our all day event. Check out Forward Play at:

There’s always some mystery surrounding this henchman of Glasgow's electronic underworld. Often swapping guises (Edge Of The Map) and having a low key online presence, when time can be better spent in the studio. As a producer and passionate music follower, Third Mountain has been involved in Tronic from day one and now has a hand in the European electronic music movement STFU.

At the Note expect an engaging style of ambience and engrossing electro. Recent visits to Berlin and Heidelberg may have influenced more forward beats and a harder edge to the marvelous Mounatin’s music. We wait with eager anticipation..

Gavin Hislop

Moving away from his previous incarnation as Babyshaker. Gavin has put his musical talents into a self titled project. Whatever Gavin puts his talents to it just seems to work. Having just started this he is already pushing this new project out to the Scottish electronic music community.

Taking influences from IDM, Glitch and the more experimental sides of electronica, Gavin has combined these elements to create beautifully melodic music, with sharp cold leads followed by warmer lush bass lines. Complementing his new project will be live visuals, altogether a new concept you shouldn’t miss!


Deltason

A firm favourite to those at Tronic and a producer worth taking note of, for those that haven't already done so. IDM and lush electronica, mastered by top musician Stuart Cameron along side top vinylist Freespin and live percussion. Recent gigs in London and last year supporting the mighty WISP in Glasgow, have seen Deltason emerge as one of the best electronic acts from Central Scotland.

Binary Zero

Loud and dirty can only vaguely describe the sound that you will hear from a Binary Zero live set. Currently signed to Alex Tronic records Binary Zero is starting to push the boundaries of techno.

A style based around hardcore and techno, the Binary Zero sound is distorted beyond recognition, while always maintaining a driving pulsing rhythm. Then there are the injected political samples and synths to his cacophony of sound. Maybe more appropriately being described as breakcore for techno! Don’t miss the Binary Zero Noize!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Ives

This Glasgow duo, are masters of their craft. After two successful self released albums and an EP under their belt, they have certainly made their mark on the current Scottish Electronic scene.

Glitched beats, with a techno edge, low melodic bass lines with energetic lead sounds, Ives take the electronic rule book and chuck it straight out the window. They have always done music their way and it's all the better for it. With renowned live shows complimenting their studio prowess, we will be in for a treat, as these lads rarely venture forth for public consumption.


Satellite Dub

A Glasgow electronic stalwart. Craig AKA Satellite Dub can be seen on many a bill as one weaves through the busy pubs of Glasgow’s city centre and for good reason. Satellite Dub is a one man balls to the wall electronica machine. Generating hugely catchy lead lines with massive breaks styled beats and bass lines to match.

Satellite Dub recently signed to Antimatter records backed up with an EP release, a move that has given him some well deserved publicity. He was even seen on ITV’s online show, being interviewed for a support slot with Digitalism. He’s a one man wrecking machine and his music isn’t about to stop. Listen, you have been warned.

Alex Tronic

Tronic festivities wouldn’t be complete without a familiar name and one Edinburgh’s best known live electronic bands. Having had a summer session of gigs between Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival and Waveform Festival in Stratford-On-Avon, this will be the bands first Glasgow appearance.

Alex Tronic have tirelessly supported the unsigned and new Scottish electronic music scene over the last few year, yet still manages to run a production studio and a record label in his spare time!

On this bumper day of music, from Alex Tronic expect crisp beats and breaks, perfect synths with lovely vocals and a big band electronic sound to take you to infinity and back.

Mark Swift

A producer and live artist who just loves to tinker. Experimental forms of electronica are what this Yorkshire man is all about, often fusing parts of electro, breaks and acid into lovely looping melodies. Being part of the Centrifuge and Sublight digital label movements and having past releases as long as your arm, he's a name who has swiftly made his mark on the UK electronic circuit. Expect a summer rave in the note cave, Swift style.

Sean Kerwin

Known as the producer, Sean Kerwin rightly lives up to this nickname with his slick and experimental style of breaks and electro. Never known to be work shy, Sean keeps himself busy and is constantly on the go. Projects such as his band Modifier, various remixing and production work within the electronic scene.

All this experience shines through in his solo work, which will be showcased at our electronic festival. It will be a proper warm welcome back to the man that played the first ever Tronic. Make sure you catch a live set from one of the brightest and most promising producers on the electronic scene right now.

Espion

Espion is a master of dark and uplifting electro and is currently spearheading his sound around the globe. With his classic track “Petrol Bomb The Fuckers” being released on German label Bass4Bots, he is now poised to become a well known name within the worldwide techno / electro scene. From remixing the likes of Vector Lovers, having countless air play from the likes of Dave Clarke and running one Glasgow's most cutting edge electronic nights, Espion is right there.

Headlining for Tronic at our Merchant City Festival, Espion will bring the energy and beats for a taste of futuristic electronic music.

Intagra TV on the Blackfriars Outdoor Stage (On @ 6pm)

This band have become a well known duo on the Glasgow gig circuit as of late. Turning heads wherever they play. With a very uplifting post rock feel to their electronica, they bring a new sound to the more ambient side of the spectrum.

Having played Connect Festival and with a recent release through Alex Tronic Records these lads made the perfect choice to represent what TRONIC is all about on the Blackfriars Stage.

You can see them perform their ambient and uplifiting Post Rock Electronica from 6pm on the Blackfriars stage, part of the many free outdoor stages running live music throughout the Festival.

www.myspace.com/integratv

Altered Mode

Spraying the Tronic sounds over the note cafés canvas, will be dj and

producer Altered Mode. The alter ego of well know Glasgow musician Kirsty Munro used to reveal her own darker, more mature techno and electronic sound.

Altered Mode's sound is a combination of pulsating rhythms, dark moody bass lines and ethereal melodies that flow in and out of sets to create a mind bending journey through sound.

Ewan Mackenzie, alias Dextro - Second full length release Winded has atmosphere in abundance, not that the Dextro sound ever lacked soul. Emotive energy from this distinguished musician continues where he left off from debut album Consequence Music.

Broken percussion and atmospheric guitar structures are key to Dextro’s make-up. Opening track Closer significant, in that this may be an album in which Ewan has opened up, inviting the listener to discover what makes him tick. Taking you in on a personal journey perhaps, Winded lingers and sails through nine tracks of Post-Rock ambience.

The album contains slow burning acoustic melodies that can suddenly burst into life, by way of compelling piano arrangements, none more so than Momentary a real gem to listen to.

Sanna possibly the most up beat track on the album sees Ewan layer up percussion with beautiful bass and guitar. Incredibly warm and with an addictive hook that has you completely immersed.


Touching more on electronica are the tracks, Ring Cycle and the bass heavy Pillar. Building shimmering orchestral synth stabs,  and the latter full of light hearted samples, capturing the feeling of hot summer evenings and the fun the found within.


The beauty of this album is the love of nature captured throughout Dextro’s sound. Already an artist with tracks remixed by the likes of Holden and Clark in the past, expect similar plaudits with Winded. The summer has arrived early. Hats off and shades on to Dextro.

What a night we had back at The Note (May 9th) After being away a few months, it was great to get back to the live scene and with a wee healthy turn out too! Super Frog Pocket rocked! Thanks to all that made it down. The music was spot on and it was a pleasure to have such talented artists - travelling from the likes of sunny Ayr, Edinburgh and Manchester to add..


Tronic have been offered a Tuesday slot at Pivo Pivo (Waterloo St). Eclectiv run electronic / experimental / eclectic music nights on a Tuesday already and we hope to support the night where we can. The last Tuesday of the month will be Eclectiv Tronic Tusdays and it will a great opportunity to get more live Tronic tunage out there.

First Tronic Tuesday will be:

June 30th 8pm.

Alex Tronic (Laptop set)
iD Gaft
Lyall Anderson

Homecoming - A procession of sounds as Tronic make there mark on 2009 back at the Note, with a Benbecula & Planet Mu showcase.

TRONIC
Saturday May 9th @ The 13th Note
8 - 12
£5 entry
 

Frog Pocket was born from creative mind of John Charles Wilson & for nearly 10 years his dynamic sound has never been so more prominent.

This ground breaking musician now signed to Planet Mu posseses a frenetic, fierce, incredibly balanced live sound of strings, breaks and beats.
 
Proudly welcoming Frog Pocket to Tronic for the first time and in the year of the 'Homecoming', expect the Ayrshireman to deliver a full-on ceilidh of celtic electronica.
 
"A musician and contemporary electronic performer, Frog Pocket's manic physical sets are a spectacle that can only impress"
 
www.myspace.com/frogpocket
www.Benbecula.com
www.Planet-Mu.com

 
A lover of cats and mushrooms, Mrs Jynx also just so happens to be a fantastically flawless musician and one of Manchesters best kept secrets for those that know their electronic music.
 
Last years full length debut release 'The Standoffish Cat' is an incredible album and sure to take Mrs Jynx to well merited dizzy new heights.
 
Her music is an effortless journey of IDM, down-tempo wonderfully warm electronica. Swirling melodies and crisp glitchy beats, build a natural energy throughout her live sets.

An artist we can't wait to hear live and playing in Scotland for the first time. See you there (grinning like a cheshire).

"Mrs Jynx's music is like all great music: It sounds as if it has always existed waiting for a composer to "uncover" it to the world."

www.myspace.com/mrsjynx


Araya, man of the moment on Benbecula label, a Inverness lad now living in the capital has a vibrant Scottish influenced sound of glitch, breaks and ambience.
 
Araya bridges the gap between ambient and glitch- an impressive producer as well as live act.

Tronic were fortunate to have his live talents unleashed last summer supporting christ. We loved his set so much we have asked Araya back to grace Tronic with his music.

"A rollercoaster of electronic breaks and chiseled alternating cavlacades"

Plenty ups and a few downs made 2008 an eventful year for Tronic. One of various new found sounds, cutting edge artists on the scene and producers at the top of their game.

Throughout the year local Scottish acts played along side those from a little further a field. London electronic duo Yimino(Ominin Records) made the journey north at the start of ‘08, which was followed up by appearances later in year from Wisp USA (Rephlex) and Koolmorf Widesen (Anoise Records) a producer, who is spearheading the Italian Breakcore scene at the moment.
An electronic night residing in the Merchant City was certainly a challenge, but an enjoyable one. Thanks to all the top folk at Blackfriars for being open minded and giving us a shot.

Big shout out to our top visual tag team of Theseareideals and Hurden Husket. Visual artists at the top of their game, who have been involved in the Tronic nights for a while now.

Of course, Tronic ended the year on a high with the release of Tronic Volume 2 album, a collaboration of past Tronic artists & friends, covering different genres and electronic styles. It has been a real pleasure working with such great bands and producers.

This year, three years on and Tronic are still here.

Right in amongst the thriving electronic scene Glasgow has generated. We won’t be doing monthly club nights through this year, but more select one off gigs, so watch this space.

The last few months have seen us working on the back of the Volume 2 release and there are a limited number of cds left. Now. Get one from:

http://www.play.com/Music/CD/-/8/33/-/8779827/Tronic-Volume-2/Product.html?searchtype=genre

The first Tronic night of 2009 will be back at the Note, with two very special Planet Mu acts playing live; Frog Pocket & Mrs Jynx. The line up has just recently been completed by Edinburgh based producer Araya. It’s going to be a cracker.

Look out for some special guests leading up into the summer too, as well as collaborations with ‘Alex Tronic Records’ in Edinburgh and Tronic involvement in this years Merchant City Festival.

See you soon.
