The next Unique Beats Festival of Electronica is being held on April the 24th at the Roxy Art House, Edinburgh.  The event will run from midday unitl 1am and will combine live performances, company stands and workshops.

We can't give you much information at the moment but we thought we'd give you a sneak peak at how things are shaping up.

Craig Blundell will be up with the Roland team so expect an amazing performance showcasing the V-Drums and some immense drumming skills!

Bitbasic will be coming up from London for some Monome inspired madness:

IG88 will be joining us from the U.S. so go check out his Myspace and download his amazing free album!

Well, that's all we can divulge at the moment but don't worry we'll keep you posted on how it's all coming along.
 
 
Firstly, we hope you had a great festive period! Now it's time for us to give you a belated present.

Previously, we have stated on the website that we are not a record label. However, for 2010 we have decided to bend the rules slightly (well destroy them completely actually!) and have therefore created a Unique Beats netlabel. All the releases will be free and the first download is ready for you now. So get yourself over to the Netlabel page.

Our first release that you can listen to and download is the amazing album by Pandacetamol entitled “Live at Unique Beats Electro Orgy”. As you've probably guessed from the title of the album, this is a live recording of the set performed at the Unique Beats Electro Orgy held on the 22nd of August 2009.

Got an E.P./album you want us to release? Then contact us at info@uniquebeats.co.uk

That's not all though!! In association with our good friends over at IDMForums.com, we will be bringing you their bi-weekly podcast featuring tracks by their members. There are many great artists that will be releasing tracks through the IDMForums.com podcasts and true to the spirit of Unique Beats, the more exposure we can bring to both new and established electronica artists the better!!

This will be in addition to the humorous, ridiculous and highly entertaining Unique Beats podcast featuring the immense talents of Andy Farina and bass wonk maestro Scott Robbie every month. That means that you'll get lots more music for free and will give artists get even more exposure...Everyone's a winner!!

And finally, to end on a high, we can formally announce that the Unique Beats Festival of Electronica (rumoured to be the Electronica Event of this year, we hear) is going to be held on the 24th of April 2010 at the Roxy Arthouse Edinburgh. It is going to be bigger and better than last year and there will be some very exciting surprises...but you'll have to keep your bums on the edge of your chairs for a little bit longer for further information about that.

Lots of digital love,

Unique Beats
