Tim Exile | 9:00 PM
 Tim Exile (or Exile) is the recording alias of Tim Shaw, a producer and performer of electronic music spanning drum and bass, IDM, breakcore and gabber.A classically trained violinist, he began experimenting with electronic music aged 12, and gained his first drum and bass release in 1999. In the following years he released mostly for the legendary Moving Shadow imprint, and John B's Beta Recordings, having met John B at Durham University. After the completion of his philosophy degree, he went on to study an MA in electroacoustic composition at Durham. Perhaps unsurprisingly, his drum and bass grew increasingly experimental, and his debut LP (Pro Agonist, 2005) was released by Mike Paradinas' Planet Mu label, more commonly associated with the IDM scene.
Unsatisfied with the possibilities of conventional DJing, Exile programmed his own performance tools (at first using Pure Data and running into difficulties, he then switched to Reaktor) to allow improvisational live sets, which led to official work for Native Instruments.

Back Ted N-Ted | 9:45 PM
 Back Ted N-Ted New Wave For the 21st Century: Phoenix, Arizona based Ryan Breen programs computers to wear their hearts on their sleeves. He instructs them to be human, to dance and to be heartbroken. The songs are digital lockets filled with raw lyrical emotion; precisely engineered and architecturally sound. To go to a Back Ted N-Ted show is to journey downtown. The indie rock sensibilities shine through and the fine edits mingle with human dexterity. Guitars shimmer, and Breen is the catalyst. Rock clubs become discotheques and even the stiffest of cross-armed hipsters find their joints twitching along with the rhythms their ears are confronted with. Back Ted N-Ted not only invokes movement, it is one. Half musical act, half producer Ryan Breen has colluded with and remixed many artists including Imogen Heap, The Medic Droid, The Maine, Chronic Future, The Fashion Lymbyc Systym, Coppe, Miniature Tigers, and is the "staff producer" of new Epic imprint Modern Art Records. At last, his own work has been condensed into a solid, cohesive statement "A Jet Made of Limos". The entire album is written, recorded, produced, and mixed by Breen. It is a pop animal that found it's way in from the street. Set to be released next year on Modern Art.....Back Ted N-Ted looks to bring the sound of Phoenix after dark into your life.

Imogen Heap | 10:30 PM
 As a rule, group efforts are normally launched before a solo career -- not after a solo career is in full swing. First, the artist makes a name for himself/herself as part of a group, then the artist leaves the group to become a full-time solo performer. That's the standard procedure, but British singer/songwriter Imogen Heap took a different approach, having already established her solo credentials for several years before becoming half of the London-based duo Frou Frou. Although based in London, Heap was raised in Essex, England, where she first studied European classical piano. While attending boarding school years later, a teenaged Heap discovered alternative pop/rock, Euro-pop, and electronica, a musical mixture that effectively ended her previous desire to become a classical instrumentalist. With her focus now devoted to popular music, she signed with Almo Sounds in 1997, becoming a professional solo artist while still in her late teens.
I Megaphone, Imogen Heap's debut album, was released by Almo in 1998, featuring influences that ranged from Kate Bush (to whom she was frequently compared) to Annie Lennox to Björk. Although some tracks were self-produced, I Megaphone also found Heap working with three different producers -- David Kahne, Dave Stewart (of Eurythmics' fame), and Guy Sigsworth -- the latter of whom kept in touch with Heap after the album's release. In the early 2000s, Sigsworth and Heap worked together once again, this time sharing equal responsibilities in the collaborative project Frou Frou. Despite the duo's lighthearted name, Frou Frou utilized electronics to create an atmospheric, dreamy, and nuanced sound. MCA/Universal signed the group in 2001, thus putting Heap's solo career on temporary hiatus.
Frou Frou released Details in 2002, with "Breath In" serving as the album's first single. Two years later, a wider audience discovered Frou Frou's music when "Let Go" was included in the award-winning Garden State soundtrack. Frou Frou had already disbanded by this point, however, and Heap had begun returning her focus to her solo career. She released Speak for Yourself in 2005, gaining notice for such singles as "Hide & Seek" (an a cappella song that utilized a digital harmonizer) and "Goodnight and Go." Ellipse, her third studio album, which she recorded in locations including Japan, Thailand, China, and her home studio, appeared in 2009.
