The Algorave scene was born in London back in 2012, since spreading to
around 90 cities worldwide, and has been billed as "the future of
electronic music" in wired magazine articles on a regular basis. Now
enough producers are exploring algorithmic methods that we briefly
declare ALGORAVE IS THE PRESENT OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC before becoming a
footnote in history.
This one will be a corker though, two rooms full of algorithmic
bangers in Elephant and Castle's lovely Corsica Studios. The two rooms
will allow parallel exploration of algorithmic flavours of bassline,
4/4 techno, drill 'n bass and vocal pop.

Algomech <https://algomech.com/> is a festival of algorithmic and
mechanical arts. Taking place over one weekend in May, the packed programme
explores the creative potential of both code and machines.
The theme for the festival's third edition is *interlace* – taking a look
at unlikely and unusual inter-weavings of different art practices. As well
as the usual algorithmic rave, there'll be handmade dancing robots making
braids on a maypole, make-your-own-mechanical-techno, algorithmic Siberian
trance, interactive textiles, invented mystical instruments, live pop music
made from code, and much more.
Events include:
*Algo/Mesh club night with Algorave + Friends*
