SMD Open For Techno Pioneers 808 State In London

London, once again, rules supreme with the unbelievable dance parties. One of the first electronic music outfits I ever listened to, who began my love affair with UK electronica in the form of Orb, Orbital, Eat Static etc., was the legendary 808 State. The founding members of the acid techno band - Gerald 'A Guy Called Gerald' Simpson and Graham Massey - have not played live together since 1989, but on Saturday October 6th, they will perform on the original analogue hardware that created their incredible sound! My heart is fluttering with excitement as I type this...What's also super exciting about this event at Corsica Studios in London is that Simian Mobile Disco and Andrew Weatherall will be opening the evening with some dance-friendly tunes of their own. London Massive! 808 State are promising a "proper 'back in the day' acid set" according to FACT Magazine who listed it as #1 on their Top Ten Events in the UK list today. Also listed are the last Secretsundaze night of the season, Vitalic, and The Go! Team/Satin Peaches tour.808 State - "In Your Face":http://www.808state.com/
