robflate — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 17:50:01 +0000

LFO’s tour continues but this show was a bit special. As part of the Creators Projects event, ‘We Love Boombox’, Flat-e director Matt Bateman was given the keys to 1024′s excellent boom box architecture (the first time it has ever been used by anyone other than 1024). This one off show was a true strobing techno colour fest and was thoroughly well received by the Parisian audience. New LFO dates are expected in 2012, watch this space!
