SUBSTANCE: NEIL LANDSTRUMM & TOBIAS SCHMIDT AKA SUGAR EXPERIMENT STATION (LIVE)

23.00-03.00 £5

Sugar Experiment Station aka Edinburgh techno legends Neil Landstrumm and Tobias Schmidt (Peace Frog, Tresor, Scandinavia, Disko B, Sativae, Penalty, Drought, Mosquito etc) bring a rare dual live PA to the Bongo, their first joint live set in Edinburgh in eight years. Both artists are internationally acclaimed in their own right, having emerged from the fiercely ground-breaking, often savagely uncompromising, ‘wonky techno’ scene of the Nineties (also including Dave Tarrida, Cristian Vogel, Jamie Lidell and Si Begg, among others) and both continue to play out regularly across the globe to this day.   Imported D&B sound to boot: guaranteed to re-arrange your intestines as well as your head-space!  Recognised by the authoritative Resident Advisor to be “one of Edinburgh’s most important outposts for house, techno and bass”, Substance brings a wide ranging collage of classic and cutting edge underground electronic music to the Bongo.
