There are lots of you-had-to-be-there moments at SXSW; when so many people from the film, interactive, music and comedy worlds hang out in the same place, amazing things happen. If only there was some way to record it all...

English producer and electronic musician Andy Stott twists the knobs like nobody's business. His throbbing beats will send you into an afternoon trance that leave you staring out the window wondering why the sky just turned bluer… how the cars are suddenly racing down the street in time to the sounds.

Stott has released three albums on Modern Love and scads of EPs. The prolific gent brings his clever melodies to our shores on Wednesday, March 13 at Elysium.
