Magnetic Man @ Fortified Sessions 2nd Birthday, The Art School, Glasgow, 17 Oct

It has been 24 months since the Electric Eliminators exploded on the scene with the Fortified Sessions, spinning tinnitus inducing beats and bass wobble. Join them as they celebrate turning terrible 2.

From their small beginnings at Blackfriars Basement the Eliminators have introduced the hypnotic sounds of dubstep to Glasgow, and procured the genre's most illustrious DJs and producers including Skream, Benga, Hatcha and N-Type, slowly seducing Scottish dancefloors with a Pied Piper effect.

For their second birthday they once again pull it out the record bag, and present to you the world’s first dubstep 'band' ‘Magnetic Man’ who only until only recently, remained a shadowy figure who occasionally dropped spectacular dubstep tracks out of nowhere. ‘Magnetic Man’ was later revealed to exist in deepest darkest Croydon, as a three-pronged collaboration between heavyweights the ‘Afro Warrior’ Benga, Artwork, and the ‘Wunderkid’ Skream. Together they pack enough power to slay an audience with their experimental Abelton Live shows. A three mannned improvised ping-pong like game of bass squelch, beats and visuals. Extra sound will be provided by the mighty Bass Warrior System. Wear your best bassface.
