To further defy Clubland convention, and in keeping with a digital media theme, all this is achieved Without the use of flyers or posters, and donations are favoured over a fixed door price. ‘We see it as a platform for local fledgling talent,’ explains Mike D, promoter and co-founder of the evening. ‘So it's a tree gig for the artists where they can promote what they‘re deing and meet likeminded people.‘
It would appear that those involved in this sell'SUlllClClll collaboration between electronic artists and enthusiasts are enjoying the organic processes as much as the night itself. And as an experiment it might pave the way towards the future of club night creation and production in Scotland. ‘Each month has been a real mixed bag, and we've no idea where it’s gOing to go,’ says Mike. ‘We’re all really enjoying at the moment, and
that‘s all we ask.’ (Mark Edmundson)
