This is going to be a massive night for Glasgow's live electronic community and all those who love Dubstep, Techno, Electro and IDM.
Heartbeats will also be officially releasing Volume 6. Motown inspired electronica that encapsulates the essence of Glasgow electronic music. As always it will be free and you will be able to download a copy from 29th June on the Heartbeats blog or grab a copy in person on the night.

Here is a little sneak preview of the up coming Heartbeats Documentary
TRONIC is back and this time we have teamed up with The Heartbeats Collective welcoming in the Summer over @ Flat 0/1 on June 29th
This mixtape features a track from each artist / DJ on the line up. More details are to follow, so please stay tuned to the TRONIC channel over the next week or two.
Excuse the bad cross fading, I did this late at night and it is a simple mixtape, not a DJ set :-)
The latest release from Binary Zero is now out. Trails is a blazing mix of dubstep, techno and electro with huge uplifting melodies, massive synths and floor destroying sub.

And so the somewhat apocalyptic date of 11-11-11 is upon us, with Point 4 returning to the Soundhaus for another all-night session featuring Glasgow's greatest club nights. Based around friendly, open and cooperative principles
Shamanic Technology
ESQ vs Megamegaman
Kenny Humphries
Shamanic Technology burns a new path for all of us who are into our IDM, Dubstep and Techno. Melding all these influences together into hard energetically dirty bass ridden tracks with sublime dark melodies complimenting the full force of the wobble. Hailing from Bournemouth, he does not often get to play North of the border, so this will be a special live treat for us all. With releases out on Glasgows very own Herb Records he should be no stranger to the Scottish underground community and a welcome live addition to both the TRONIC rosta and his Scottish fan base. Shamanic Technology will be the TRONIC headline act for the main room for this Point 4 event.
Shamanic techno perhaps, but influences go deeper, a true melting pot of electronica style and substance.
ESQ vs Megamegamanis Greg Peebles and Chris Stevens, AKA ESQ and Megamegaman. Together they have formed up as an awesome super hero electronic duo, ready to do battle with the forces of techno and electro. With little known about their style as a duo, we can only speculate at the oncoming good-ness. However if we take a look at ESQ and also Megamegaman, then I do believe we will all be putting our hands in the air. These two Glasgow producers never let us down with their solo projects. Its going to be double lashings of electro joy with the two of them. These lads will be supporting Shamanic Technology @ Point 4 on November 11th.
Will it be dubstep, will it be electro, I think some techno too.
Kenny Humphries is Glasgow's finest rising star on the DJ circuit. With an upcoming support slot with Erol Alkan we are very pleased to have this top DJ along to warm up the main room for our live guys, with his unique style of techno, deep house and old school greatness. This DJ is not simply a warm up act, he will set the standard for the night. We do not usually pick DJ's to play at TRONIC, so to get this honour you need to be very good at your craft. Kenny is just that. Opening the main room @ Point 4 November 11th.
He is not just ANY....DJ. He is a techno covered, house filled, electro.....TRONIC DJ.

Our Selection from the TRONIC Stage line up for Oxjam Glasgow Takeover
Plum
Signed to the late and great Benbecula Records with her debut album "Different Skin", Plum is an Edinburgh based singer songwriter that is going from strength to strength. She is currently running her own fundraiser aimed at gaining enough finance to go ahead with her second album release in the near future. We have loved her music since she supported artists such as Mrs jynx and Frog Pocket for TRONIC events back in 2009 / 2010. Her music is sublime, melodic and totally and utterly unique, innovative and simply magic. Plum opens the TRONIC stage at Flat 0/1 for Oxjam Glasgow Takeover
TRONIC Residents and two of Glasgow best glitchy up beat electronica producers. With 1 guitar, 1 keyboard and a mighty powerful laptop they make amazingly catchy, yet unique electronica. With a successful debut album under their belt called "A Morning Announcment", released under Alex Tronic Records and sets at Connect Festival. This duo have and comntinue to storm ahead with their own brand of beatiful electronica suffused with experimental glitchy lovelieness. Now with releases on the extremely successful Heartbeats Collective, this duo are not to be missed on the day for Oxjam Glasgow Takeover, Flat 0/1.
This Glasgow producer has been on the scene for several years now. His debut album "From Here You Can See Everything" from 2008 came out on Alex Tronic Records to great acclaim and now releases under Heartbeats Collective plus other collectives. Combining beatiful melodies with dirty dubstep styled bass and full on techno beats. Binary Zero is an energetical force that will not let up. Not content with just the music, Binary Zero also weaves alternative politics and exposes you to the idea that this world may just be illusiory. Let yourself go as Binary Zero headlines on the TRONIC stage and allow yourself to be overtaken by some huge bass. Flat 0/1, Oxjam Glasgow Takeover.
The next installment of TRONIC is now confirmed. Novermber 11th @ Soundhaus in conjunction with Point 4.
This time we will be hosting the main room. We have one of thee best up and coming artists in the country right now headlining for us. This guy is astounding and his live show will be immense. Here is a preview of Shamanic Technology. further details will be announced as we get them.
