This January come on down to Electric Dreams, a festival of electronica in all it's forms designed to help you beat the winter blues. The following artists will be playing :
CHRYSALID HOMO are a hard-edged synth group from Salford whose unique sound heralds of a dark and dangerous future of shock and awe. Not afraid of drawing influences from those that have come before, this merry band of mad-max musicians can name those early pioneers of electronic music; Kraftwerk, The Human League, Tubeway Army, John Foxx, as shaping their own unique sound. Fear not, they aren’t flogging horses here (alive or dead), they’re pushing the boundaries of electronic music to carefully curate a sound that is unique, interesting and, dare we say, pop!(?)

"Their pulsating electronics and digital soundscapes provide the missing link between the hairy bikers and Depeche Mode" - Louder than war
"Tight, retro-futurist synth pop plucked straight from the early 80s. Reminiscent of JOHN FOXX-era ULTRAVOX - icy, minimal, and strangely emotive. Enjoyable and evocative" - Reflections of Darkness.

DOTS are Nicki & Les, a dynamic electronic duo who together serve up a crazy cocktail of synth pop and early blues, mixing the sounds of Kraftwerk with the spirit of Hound Dog Taylor, topped with a generous sprinkling of humour. Genre-bendingly bizarre? You bet.

FLASH CASSETTE's electro-funk/synthwave sound will makes you feel like you're cruising through Vice City with a boombox full of funk! Flash Cassette drips with synth swag and punchy bass lines that will get you out of your seat and onto the dancefloor. Think Daft Punk doing the soundtrack to a breakdance.

"Day-glo electro and boogie brilliance, they sound like all those 80's Library Music LP's where synths were front and centre and atmospheric action was the rule of thumb" - Jumbo Records
"Sitting somewhere between Funkadelic & SEGA Megadrive, think 80’s synthpop, synth-funk and retro video game vibes." _ Festival of thrift

ELECTRIC ISLES are an electronic alternative band built around captivating female vocals, dreamy guitar and melodic keys with an electronic drums backbone. They create an energetically funky yet blissed-out psychedelic sound that'll get you moving. Think Little Dragon meets Bicep via Maribou State.

MARTIN BEECH's brand of intricate electronica is at once beautifully minimalist yet compellingly rich with tracks which build from delicate simplicity into something both ready for the floor yet rooted in the heart. Think Daniel Avery at his dreamiest.
