Here’s the write up that the guys did on us all….
This months Tronic has Acidfairy, Scopeboy and Darkmode live! 9 til 12 at the Note, Glasgow. Come check it out!! Here comes the preview..
Acidfairy is a self confessed acid junkie and her love for all things acid techno started naturally in the early 90s which led to her taking up djing and soon to play along side the likes of Billy Nasty and Marco Bailey. Acidfairys performance and passion behind the decks has earned a strong underground following and even friendship with the mighty Carl Cox. A slot playing at Space in Ibiza, amongst numerous acid techno club nights in Glasgow and umpteen raves up and down the country, make up part of Acidfairys illustrious CV. After such highs and experiences, the decision was made to start writing and producing her own sounds, which could well be a type of musical career direction change, as new avenues into the live electronic world now await for this acid techno addict.
Drop Bass Network (USA) have now snapped up Acidfairy earlier this year, with future releases of her tracks and a few gigs in America to boot! All amazing stuff, but before Acidfairys relentless energetic sounds are unleashed over in the States, a special live performance in Glasgow is booked into the calendar first. We are well chuffed that Tronic are playing host to Acidfairy and are counting down the minutes to hearing the live acid techno 303 laden musical madness. A night not to be missed by those in the know.

Friend and fellow Tronic favourite Scopeboy certainly has been working hard of late, with a recent slot supporting Le Petit Orb (Kompakt) at an impressive dance/electronica event in Glasgows CCA. Its no surprise he was chosen to play such a gig, as Scopeboys enthusiasm for everything electronic is hard to ignore, along with his genuine enjoyment of having other people hear his music. Being a computer programmer and general electronics whiz by day, he still finds time to play bass guitar in a local band as well. For this musician however, time is spent best when creating electro-rock , trip hop style anthems. Always trying to mix different styles and sounds never sticking to one genre, expect much twiddling of his classic 303 during which crazy cartoon antics can be witnessed!

Based in Newcastle, Darkemodes expansive electronic energy has been filtering through internet channels since he first started producing in 1998. Much hard work in the studio, has earned his latest EP release Data a recent Sureplayer award in DJ Magazine. Having a sound certainly influenced from the 80s (LFO & Depeche Mode), but with a harder darker edge to his sound, Darkmode has released work under Testin Out Records, as well as having tracks grabbed by the likes of Radioactive Man for remix. A guest appearance on the dance stage at Green Festival Newcastle will act as a warm up for this intimate venue appearance at Tronic. Expect the Darkemode journey north of the border to be a dark twisted 808 driven electro one, for which we cant wait!
