| Other Info | Pretty Lights is the musical vision of the ultra-versatile Colorado based producer Derek Vincent Smith, accompanied in the live setting by drummer, Cory Eberhard. Together these two achieve a raw energy rarely reached in the realm of electronic music. At a time when music lovers from almost all subcultures and genres are finding common ground in the basic form of bangin' beats, Pretty Lights is giving the people what they want; electro organic cutting-edge party rocking beats that fill venues with energy and emotion and send dance floors into frenzies. And the people are responding. Pretty Lights' three albums, Taking Up Your Precious Time, Filling Up The City Skies, and Passing By Behind Your Eyes have been downloaded over 500,000 times from PrettyLightsMusic.com. A 2009 sold out North American tour propelled Pretty Lights into 2010 with the first tour dates in the UK and Europe and a nationwide spring tour including stops at Coachella, SXSW, and Ultra Music Festival. With Savoy. |

| Other Info | Matias Aguayo lives between Buenos Aires and Paris, djing, making music, performing concerts alone and together with Marcus Rossknecht with their project “BROKE!”. Born in ‘73 in Santiago de Chile he musically grew up in Cologne, Germany, where he spent the 90s living and contributing to the scene of the city that has had such a deep influence on dance music. He was there, as clubkid and dj (e.g. of the legendary Liquid Sky Club) experiencing the creation of new musical styles and contributing by organizing parties and being involved in musical productions such as the project Zimt (w/ Michael Mayer, 1997). Soon he would come up with a new project: Closer Musik (w/ Dirk Leyers). Touring from disco to disco and around the world, performing livesets which also took him to Buenos Aires, Argentina - where he stayed for some time and never really left, organizing temporary free club spaces like the “juventud clandestina” (clandestine youth) and the “hoy” club - a period reflected in Matias’ Album “Are You Really Lost” (Kompakt, 2005). His main activity nowadays consists in making free parties on the streets together with his friends Ladybumbox, Gary and Pablo, the legendary “bumbumbox” parties in capitals and big cities of Southamerica (Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Asuncion in Paraguay, Sao Paulo, Medellin in Colombia, Santiago de Chile, etc…) In his djsets (which are partly livesets, considering the integration of singing and a couple of instruments), Matias celebrates his vision of dancemusic, with intensity and sensuality, nights where people dance to dark disco gems, futuristic visions of underground house, nocturnal and groovedriven techno, and obviously lots of unreleased tracks, dancing and singing on top included. Matias Aguayo is now working on a new album, with new releases of 12” coming soon on Kompakt and on Souljazz Records. Local support by Kneehigh Hypnoassassin Wyatt Agard $5 at the door Music starts at 9 Presented by clearly good music, Joint Effort and Inferno Nightclub.

Al Keegan and Matador of Dublin based record label, Aciitone Digital, were asked to compile a ten min mash up mix for BBC Radio Ulster last year when they were launching their new label. This is very cool – believe it or not you Vanilla Ice’s Ice Ice Baby sounds so pretty cool against LCD Soundsytem’s Disco Infiltrator. It was made using Ableton.
