We've been planning SYSTEM//ERROR for the best part of six months, and we're finally ready to pull back the curtain on what's in store.
SYSTEM//ERROR is built around a simple idea: what happens when technology breaks down? The visual identity — corrupted text, glitch art, signal interference — reflects the sonic palette we're curating. This is techno at its most raw and industrial, stripped of polish and full of texture.
Room 1: Main — The big room. Full Void Acoustics rig, industrial lighting, haze for days. This is where VTSS, I Hate Models, and Klangkuenstler will do their thing. Expect relentless energy from 10pm to 5am.
Room 2: Ambient — A deliberate counterpoint to the main room. Low lighting, comfortable seating, and downtempo electronics between the headline sets. Think of it as a decompression chamber — somewhere to catch your breath before diving back in.
We couldn't be prouder of this one. VTSS brings her signature blend of industrial techno and EBM. I Hate Models needs no introduction — one of the most compelling live performers in electronic music. Klangkuenstler delivers functional, no-nonsense techno. SPFDJ rounds out the bill with her raw, uncompromising style. Plus local support that we'll be announcing shortly.
Early bird tickets are already gone, but standard and general admission are still available. Don't sleep on this one.
We sat down with Manchester's jazz-electronic four-piece to talk live performance, broken beat, and why the city's music scene is the most exciting it's been in years.
From warehouse raves in Berlin to basement sessions in Manchester, these five tracks soundtracked the year's most unforgettable moments on the dancefloor.
