We're Going Deep

An electronic night in Bristol featuring the act We're Going Deep, for listeners who follow electronic music performed live. The text places the act's music within the genre and the city's scene.

We're Going Deep is an electronic act, and this Bristol night brings its music to a live audience in the city. Electronic music is built on synthesisers, drum machines, samplers and computer-based production rather than conventional acoustic instruments, so performances tend to centre on rhythm, texture and layered sound. The genre grew out of club, dance and experimental practice from the late twentieth century onwards.

Bristol has its own place in that history, as the city where trip hop emerged in the 1990s, with its slower tempos and sampled, dub-influenced textures. The evening suits anyone who follows electronic music and wants to hear a single act perform in a city with that tradition.
