Nick Luscombe Presents: The Simonsound

The second of two special editions of Friday Tonic for Ether festival, curated by DJ and broadcaster Nick Luscombe (BBC Radio 3 Late Junction/Resonance FM Flomotion).

The Simonsound are intergalactic synthesiser duo Simon James and Matt Ford (aka DJ Format), whose debut album, Reverse Engineering channels the pioneering electronics and mood music of the 60's, using analogue synthesisers, FX and tape machines. They are joined on stage by the seductive Debbie Clare (vocals), the dynamic and captivating Laura J Martin (vocals, flute, mandolin) and a spaced-out montage of 1950s and 1960s science, science fiction, space exploration and psychedelic projections.

Continuing the sci-fi theme, inspired by 2001 - A Space Odyssey, Nick Luscombe will also DJ a blend of futuristic electronic dancefloor sounds across the evening.
