Electraglide 2012

If you thought SonarSound was the only major electronic music fest we were going to see this year, think again. Once an annual event, the Electraglide all-nighter will be emerging from hibernation this November, for the first time since the Warp Records anniversary bash in 2009. Some of the acts who took part last time around will be returning, namely LA scene overlord Flying Lotus, DJ extraordinaire Andrew Weatherall and Glaswegian beatmaker Hudson Mohawke (appearing in his white-hot collaboration with Lunice, TNGHT). Anyone who missed Squarepusher's retina-frying show at SonarSound will get another chance to see it here, although he's going to have stiff competition from Amon Tobin, who's bringing his Isam project (think: elaborate 3D video mapping and colossal sub-bass) to town for the occasion. Orbital, Four Tet and Kode9 are also on board, accompanied by Japanese heavyweights including Denki Groove and DJ Krush. Should be a blast.
