The HUMAN Uprising

ANON DAY

Ricocheting from last month's cyborg takeover, we bring you the freshest most human LoveTech to date with achingly emotive vocals unleashed from multitalented future dancefloor performers: Moldover, Anon & Alice deliver Soul-purging electro rock & Funk-infused IDM, Colfax/BumblePup swoon you with virtuosic ambiance & synchronized visuals, while DDT finishes you with tango tinged hyper dubstep & wobbly breakstep

••INTERACTIVE ART & MUSIC••
Featured Multimedia Artist JUSTIN PERRY presents Chaos Theory Lab
Pointing a microphone at a speaker creates audible feedback. Pointing a video camera at a screen creates visual feedback, chaos, infinite fractal possibilities that cannot fully be controlled. Justin employs various methods of manipulating this chaos to create interactive visual displays.

Moldover's new CD, over 3 years in the making, not only delivers gorgeously diverse music with meaning and musical mastery, it completely redefines what it means to "play an album"... Moldover's CD packaging itself IS a new musical instrument! The CD is mounted on a custom designed circuit board, intricately patterned and powering a "light-Theremin". Yes! You play the artwork and it makes sound! Only the musical supervillain genius of Moldover could develop something so stunningly innovative.
