Starting at 7pm and running to 10.30 Strange Brew offers a friendly, supportive and non-judgmental community where electronic artists can showcase their talents.
Whether this is your first time playing, or you are a seasoned pro, you are welcome to come and play. All styles are welcome, you can bring a laptop, a modular synth, keyboards or even just your phone with an app.
You can perform the tunes you’ve been working on or do an improvised slot.
You will have roughly 10 mins to set up and 15 mins to play. There will be two tables to use for setup (if needed) and one performer will set up while the other is playing. We’ll have a few DI boxes, and vocal microphones available, as well as a sound engineer to assist with set up and mixes. Bring your own leads to connect your instruments to DI boxes – and if you have any specific set up needs, get in touch, and we’ll try to accommodate.
The only rule is that it has to be electronic music There is no selection process and no standard that has to be met, if you ask to play and we have space, then you are playing.
This is a place to experiment.
Most sets are pre-booked to ensure people don’t waste a trip coming, although you can turn up early for the first slot on a first come first served basis.
Please send an email to [email protected] to reserve your slot. – Next one 23rd May 2025
