Mavo

An electronic music concert by Mavo at Manchester Academy 2, a Manchester venue that hosts concerts and shows across its programme.

Mavo is an electronic act. Electronic music is built on synthesisers, drum machines and samplers, and rhythm and texture usually take the place of a conventional band line-up. The genre grew out of studio experiments and dance-floor culture, and live performances of it often centre on programmed sequences shaped by the performer in real time.

Manchester Academy 2 is part of Manchester Academy and hosts concerts and shows in the city. The night is aimed at listeners who want to hear electronic music performed live in a Manchester concert venue, with Mavo as the artist billed.

For anyone comparing evenings, the genre is the clearest guide: this is an electronic concert, with the music and the performance both centred on Mavo.
