LIVE TECHNO IN THE CHILLERY @ Twisted Frequency Festival 2022

DESTROY WITH SCIENCE is Aotearoa based Matt McKegg’s response to the overly produced, studio-focused electronic music so common on dancefloors these days. Instead, he’s taking it back to the roots of dance music, finding the vibe entirely in the moment, right there in the room. 

Matt performs using a modular / hardware synth setup, live sequenced via custom software running on a Raspberry Pi. Prepare for some eartingle infused analog techno bangers and the odd dancefloor nostalgia remix to keep things interesting.

Music is life, the dancefloor is my happyplace

I like to travel into space but unlike most other travellers I go on a reusable rocket.  Upon re-entry I fire the main engines to slow my descent safely back to mother earth.

A descendant of the mushroom hunter clans of Central Europe, Ikona traded his hunting gear for a computer and modular synthesiser.
Using a Eurorack modular system he creates deeply unique rhythms, echoes, dub-like basslines and ambient drones. 
This equipment is complex, agile, and allows the artist to improvise by ear and explore the deeper niches of live performance.
