After the biblical onslaught of Pinch, Alex Fisher and Chris Box at the last Winchester session, we've dusted ourselves down, licked our wounds and said our prayers. It's time to go to the darkside again.
The line-up for this Delete is without a doubt one of the heaviest things to hit Bournemouth since the IMAX complex. We are extremely honoured to be welcoming down one of the frontier warriors of leftfield dubstep in the form of the mighty Appleblim.
Best known for his work on the Skull Disco imprint (alongside Shackleton), Laurie Osborne's musical quest has seen him merge crushing bass-heavy dynamics with other-worldly incantations, tripping your brain out while making your limbs flail uncontrollably. His own label Apple Pips is one of the most essential destinations for forward-thinking beats in the battleground between house, techno and dubstep, while his Rinse.FM podcasts serve as an education on everything great about electronic music from the 60s onwards. The man is undoubtedly a musical prophet for our generation.
He'll be joined by long-time Delete compadre Scrase, quite possibly the most exciting thing to be happening in electronica since Aphex discovered a synthesiser. Possessing an unnatural flair for granite riddims and twisted originality, everything between techno and dubstep will be fried up in his sonic wok of a live set.
If that wasn't enough you can also catch Spatial, a figure shrouded in mystery whose debut release instantly scored Boomkat single of the week and sees a beautiful fusion of minimal aesthetics and 2-step funk creating crisp body music that has to be heard to be believed.
On top of that Mr Smith and Tone Def will be firing all of their cylinders out of the juggernaut rig that took years off The Winchester crowd last time around. Be prepared for more of the same ear-bleeding audio perfection.
The Vault will once again play host to a schmorgasbod of audio-visual delights from a host of conspirators, and plans are afoot for a day time session to get those limbs limbered up. Watch this space, things will be getting serious.
Pre-sale tickets will once again be available, saving you a few pennies and guaranteeing entry to Bournemouth's longest running underground dance, the only place you can hear the cutting edge of electronic music that you can still get your groove on to.
Also watch out for a killer promo mix on the way from Guy Rilla, who taught everyone a lesson in the wee hours of the Pinch gig. This will be circulating Bournemouth in the next couple of weeks.
Keep 'em peeled people, this one is definitely NOT plastic.
We love you all
