SMOKE AND MIRRORS performing improvised projections on 3 screens with visuals choreographed live to a DJed soundscape incorporating Experimental Electronic, House and Techno.
DJ SMOOTHGROOVE, whose career began in the ’80s at the outset of Detroit Techno and took off in the European underground scene via the Offworld sound system tour of the freshly liberated Eastern Block of former Soviet states- Bassmental ’91.
