This unique line-up comes thanks to the combined forces of Now Wave, Selective Hearing and Idiosync, and will be a rare chance to catch these three up and coming electronic artists on the same bill, each performing a full live set.
In just two years, Jacques Greene has built up a small but solid catalogue of productions that showcase his flair for twisting the spirit of R&B into something functional for dancefloors, where classic US house rhythms, soulful grooves and a slick 90s garage flavour meld together into an evocative, emotionally engaging and unique sound.
The young producer came to the world's attention in 2010 with the release of the now anthemic '(Baby I don't Know) What You Want' on Night Slugs Allstars Volume 1, as well as his first EP 'The Look', released through Glaswegian abstract beat label LuckyMe.
With 2012's follow up EP 'Concealer' now let loose, this much hyped artist - who counts Bob Bok, L-Vis 1990, Ben UFO, Hudson Mohawke and more amongst his supporters - has become one of North America's most lauded producers, a feat assisted in no small part by his jaw-dropping, analog-gear-intensive live shows.

Joining Jacques Greene for this unique show is Glasgow-based Koreless - part of the new generation of young producers rising fast through the net-fed bass community. Despite his age, his music exudes maturity, nesting in the ever-expanding dubstep lexicon somewhere between softened 2-step and soulful electronica.
Bobby Tank is a fast-rising electronic music artist whose sound is buzzing with nostalgic synths, soulful, blenderized cut-ups, woven leads and atmospherics that sit perfectly alongside the Neon Maximal sounds of Rustie et al.
Selective Hearing, iDiOSYNC and Now Wave DJs complete the line-up, with visuals from VJ Bones.
This show will be a rare chance to catch three of the most exciting young artists around today on one bill - and as such, demand for this show is expected to be huge.
