Tommie Sunshine, We Are... Electric, Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh, 4 July

Tommie Sunshine returns to WAE this month to spread a little sunniness for the only event where you're likely to see Jesus H. Christ behind the decks, or near enough as you can get anyway! The New York resident is a DJ, producer, remixer and label owner (Xylophone Jones Recordings) influenced by the likes of Serge Gainsbourg, the B52s and the Revolting Cocks to name a few eclectic choices. He's put the pumping electro house touches to songs by Peaches, hellogoodbye, Good Charlotte and Panic! at the Disco among others, infusing them with chunky riffs and punchy beats for major dancefloor appeal, while finding time to create his own strange techno concoctions. You may have unwittingly heard his work in the early 00s, after he played a part in co-writing Felix Da Housecat and Miss Kitten's Silver Screen hit, and worked with DJ Hell on his NY Muscle album. Even Versace has asked him to DJ their fashion shows! If all that isn't enough for credentials, he also wrote the preface to Mireille Silcott's novel Rave America. Support comes from Gary Mac and Tall Paul, with full-on European electro-punk house sets to brighten up your midweek! [Alex Burden]
