Manuel Göttsching will return to London on September 5th for the first time since the year 2000. Oval Space Music and Need2Soul will be the ones to welcome the German artist back, and joining him for the night will be Henrik Schwarz and Frank Wiedemann for a first UK performance for their live act Schwarzmann.
Manuel Göttsching has been hugely influential in the development of house and
electronic music, pioneering the German electronic Krautrock music movement alongside such acts as Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream.
This show will provide a fantastic opportunity to witness Manuel Göttsching live in action, and given that it’s first show in London for 13 years, this is definitely not a show that you want to be missing if you live in the English capital.
Tickets for the event are available now at an early bird price of £15.

Official video for the Future Love Hangover track ‘Sunlight Streams Electric‘. Future Love Hangover is an Australian producer doing something a little bit different with a new album format he has invented called an exposure. An exposure is a web based format that uses a 3D cube of images and video as interactive album art while the album streams in full. In order to obtain a copy of the album the viewer must listen to the entire music stream before unlocking a download at the end of playback; the concept behind this is that the music costs only time and not money.
