Ever wondered how these amazing electronic sounds are made?
Then make sure you're there for SYNTH SCHOOL from 6:00PM
Join Julz and take a trip into the world of synthesis, sound design and beat making. This is a hands-on workshop with real hardware, real synths and real drum machines.
We assume no prior knowledge, perfect for those with little or no experience. Our sessions are very casual, laidback and focused on exploration and learning. Join the classroom in a guided jam, or disappear into your own world, with a synth and some headphones.

LIVE ELECTRONIC sounds from 7:30pm featuring:
Spirit Lights
Finding inspiration in modular synthesis and sound collage, Spirit Lights is the ambient electronic project of Joshua MacGregor (formerly one half of electronic/dance duo Dream Coast). After the sudden shutdown of clubs in 2020, Joshua found himself drawn to the stillness of ambient music, soon amassing a collection of analogue synth recordings.
Featuring swirling arpeggios and dream-like pads, Spirit Lights owes as much to the work of modern acts Jon Hopkins and James Holden as to soundtrack legends Tangerine Dream. Spirit Lights’ debut EP and collaborative work with Noir et Blanc has seen support from 4000 Records, 4ZZZ & Triple R.
