Modifier



Taking the headline slot, the mighty Modifier returns to TRONIC. Sean Kerwin and Chris Shelswell are the musically gifted duo behind the name. Chris lives in Aukland, New Zealand and Sean resides here in sunny Glasgow. Their sound stems from a deep love of electronica in all its forms and can be described in many different ways, as it seems their is no style this duo cannot turn a hand too. One thing is for certain, their music is definitely at home on a big club system with a crowd lapping up every electro coated beat this pair can muster. With praise from the likes of Nick Warren, touting their latest track, "Myotis" as "Ace" and Wez Saunders saying "All over this". It would not be out of place to put these guys side by side some the best producers in the business today. Sean will be representing Modifier on the night, punching out the Modifier sound for the eager Soundhaus crowd.  These guys are set to have a massive year in 2011 with their set at Point 4 TRONIC being just the beginning.

i am blip



Fresh from his TRONIC appearance down at Basura Blanca we simply could not resist getting this techno wizard back for another run. With a bigger sound system at his disposal, he is sure to smash up the room with his own take on techno. Jagged, harsh and generally disturbing. This one man techno freight train will leave you begging for more. i am blip is an artist that holds nothing back. live on stage is the best environment for this producers untamed sonic onslaught. He will be ripping it up 2nd on the bill for us. You can also grab many of his tracks for free off his soundcloud page.

Altered Mode 



Good friends to Modifer and to us here at TRONIC. Kirsty has been on the DJ circuit since she was 21 spinning out her take on all things electro. With residencies at the likes of Death Disco (Arches) under her belt supporting big names such as Erol Alkan, Simian Mobile Disco and many more besides, this master of her craft can take you on an audible journey like no other. TRONIC has given her free reign, and not constrained by the usual limits placed on a DJ, we expect some dark and uplifting techno with everything in between, all crammed into the meaty 2 hours we have given this turntable maestro. She may even drop some of her own productions on the night if we ask nicely. You can listen to her own productions over at - http://soundcloud.com/alteredmode - With many strings to her bow we expect to see alot more from this electro queen in the near future.

Enough is Enough - And a One Day Strike To Say So - David Icke Website

There is a call for a Global Strike. It is happening now. Between the 15th and 17th of this month, they are asking everyone who watches this to stay home and not go to work, shop or interact with the system on any level for at least one day. If you have had enough of giving up your own personal wealth to feed a system that keeps taking and never giving, if you are sick of never seeming to be ahead while the banks wreck our economy and ask us to foot the bill, then strike for one day. If we all do this we will see a brighter tomorrow. All it takes is one day to change the world.

Rudi Zygadlo - Very Special Guest
Galaxian

4 of Glasgow's finest and innovative producers grace the TRONIC stage this month. It will be a night filled with dark beats, pop fuelled electronica from techno and glitch to dubstep.

You can listen to the artists we have for you over at our exclusive Soundcloud Promo group -

Rudi Zygadlo - Very Special Guest



He is not your straight forward electronic musician. Being described as Dubstep does not fully explain the sound that this producer has created. The comparisons to artists like Frank Zappa seem to make a lot more sense with his constantly evolving almost chaotic tunes . The electronic music he creates mixes in dubstep, funk, pop, electronic and rock which creates an amazing melting pot of sounds for his music. Signed to the mighty Planet Mu records he recently released his first album The Great Western Laymen to some great reviews - "Zygadlo’s not just a pin-up pretty boy with floral fonts. He is the mastermind behind a captivating debut. The sheer amount of exploration between the celestial and gritty contained within this one album is astounding and you can’t help but buzz with excitement about where he is going to evolve to next." Dummymag. Zygadlo is currently residing in the techno capital of the world Berlin so we are very pleased to have him back in his home town of Glasgow and gracing the Tronic stage. Expect to hear some boundary pushing electronic pop music from Rudi Zygadlo on the night.

Galaxian


One mans musical crusade to bring reason to a society that is in the midst of collapse. As the world reserve currency crashes into obscurity leaving the rest of us fending for the scraps, Galaxian says it like it is, pounding out his Hi-Tek Funk, exposing that which has been hidden for so long. Recently you may have seen him play out at the likes of Scrabble and Edinburgh night Substance. He has also graced the good folk of  Leeds with his Hi-Tek music and has supported the likes of Placid and Oscar Mulero (Tresor). His style can be described as Industrial, Glitch, Hi-Tek Funk, Techno and all of the above. Its a mix that works in the clubs and also in the smaller venues. With releases on Transient Force and upcoming releases on Micron Audio Detroit. This Scottish producer has a bright future ahead. He will be one of our headlining acts down at TRONIC. We expect some twisted dark and glitchy techno from this audio genius.


Mitoma



This duo specialise in dark and glitchy electronica. Their music is a twisted ambient journey through the realms of experimental ambience. With other projects such as Nomina, Altered Carbon and Audiologist on their reportour, these Scottish producers are certainly audio pioneers and have no fear in exploring new sonic boundries. These guys are proving that electronic music can be beautiful and jagged, rythmically pulsating and gentle. Long time friends of TRONIC through their netlabel section 27, Mitoma have been due a spot on the TRONIC stage for some time now and we are only to happy to offer them the chance to showcase their unique take on electronica to our hungry TRONIC crowd.


Kid Robotik



Dj and live producer, Dubstep connoisseur, DnB artist, promoter. These are some of the words used to describe Kid Robotik. Dubstep is his thing but not your Borgore, Reso esq dubstep with whomping fat sawtooth lines cutting through your speakers. No, Kid Robotik goes for a much more deep approach and loves mashing up the wobble, using sub sonic bass along with glitched out leads and samples. Not only that, he likes to mash it up with DnB, Ragga and much more besides. This producer is already making a name for himself. With releases through our good friends over at Heartbeats Collective and recently selected as a nominee for Emmas Awards, up against the likes of Taz Buckfast, Akira Kiteshi and many more big names, this kid has single handedly made his presence felt. Please go amd vote for him now over at - http://www.wix.com/emmasawards/2011#! - Kid Robotik will be pounding it out at TRONIC with his mashed up take on all things dubstep and DnB. Its gonna be huge.
