A sign-up based Open Mic night for anyone involved in making electronic music, whatever the style, genre or format - anything from ambient and drone through synth pop, techno to industrial, noise and beyond!

The intent is to showcase live performances of music that is primarily electronic in nature - e.g. acts using hardware or software synthesizers, electronic instruments, sequencers and so forth. The definition is pretty broad - ask us if you’re not sure your act is a fit.
