Is it the Ironbru or what? :D

Seriously, to my ears some of the most exciting music in the world is coming from there recently. There has always been a strong electronic scene in Scotland but things are sounding amazing from the new breed of producers at the moment...

Loops Haunt
Rudi Zygadlo
Offshore
Architeq
Rustie
Hudson Mohawke
Akira Kiteshi
Samoyed


There is probably a lot more that I haven't discovered yet too. I think Rob Booth should do a Scotland special :wink:

Those are some big producers. Isn't Raffertie from Scotland as well?

Akira Kiteshi isn't his real name.

Pinball is a massive tune.

Aye theres some well good producers in scotland, some dnb guy called Morphy has some filthy tunes out (check out the stopper vip). Theres normally a really good night on at least once a month in Glasgow anyway, ballers,numbers and electric eliminators normally sort out a tasty lineup for their do's!

Definitely! I'd say I'd meet up with you but my twat of a mate has already got us tickets for the soundhaus because he "cant be arsed with a whole night of intricate bangers".

The lineup for stereo looks sick, I'd go just to see Brackles again hes a fucking top notch dj!
