After three successful Xmas nights in Edinburgh, The Illiterate Funkers aka The Bombsquad Boys are heading west with Techmas to give some of Edinburgh's finest talent a chance to rock Glasgow. There will be two rooms offering a variety of 4/4 beats for your listening pleasure. Four hours of solid live techno from established artists will be dropped in the Main Room: feast your ears on a live PA from Acidfairy (recently signed to Drop Base Network, a high profile label based in the USA), Morph (Audiodacity Records), Morphos (Synthetic, React) as well as DJ sets from Iain and Jake from the Bombsquad, Jnr Lazarou (Intonations Records) and Malky Access (Froot, Digital) with 2x Roland 909s. Stu Munro (G8 Crasher) also makes a welcome comeback. Whilst the Main Room will host a number of techno acts, the Back Room will concentrate on all manner of diverse breaks. Techmas 2006 offers DJ sets from a number of Edinburgh players including R-Tech (Froot, Bombsquad), Kenny Breaks (The Institute For Electronic Artists), Bill Spice (Curios, Loop), The Physicist (Synthetic) and Luka (Toaster). Though there may be a few Edinburgh punters out there that are disappointed that the event is to be held in Glasgow this year, one cannot deny that it is a great opportunity for the west coast to get a taste for what talent the east coast really has to offer. It's only an hour away, Edinburghers so get yourself a bus or train ticket and make a date with The Bombsquad Boys. [Natalie Doyle]
