Session Victim

A live electronic dance music set by the German duo Session Victim, presented by Gotobeat at The Loco Klub in Bristol. The act combines dance music with several other genres in its composing and performing.

Session Victim is a German electronic duo made up of Hauke Freer and Matthias Reiling, who have worked as composers for about the last decade. Their catalogue includes three triple LPs on the British label Delusions of Grandeur, a downbeat concept album for the Late Night Tales / Night Time Stories label, and more than twenty EPs on small specialist imprints such as Retreat, XK and Pen & Paper. Their most recent EPs are Basic Instinct, released on Rhythm Section, and The Intangibles, issued again on Delusions of Grandeur.

On stage, the duo departs from the synthesiser and modular set-ups that many electronic acts rely on. Instead, the live show is built around inexpensive USB controllers, a well-used 707 and a road-worn bass guitar, which gives the performance a distinctly hands-on character.

The Bristol date is presented by Gotobeat and takes place at The Loco Klub, a venue in the city that hosts concerts and shows. The night is aimed at listeners interested in dance music that moves between genres, and it brings the duo's new live set to the city.
