BPM Presents Addictive TV
Pioneering audio/visual artistes Addictive TV will be headlining the Pioneer Pro DJ Main Stage at BPM on Saturday 18th October.
Described as "the World’s most popular audiovisual artists" by the UK’s Time Out magazine, award-winning London based Addictive TV are known for their cutting-edge audio/video remixes and dynamic live shows, which in four years has seen them voted number #1 VJs in the World in DJ Magazine’s poll and twice placed second.
Their work has been praised by creative innovators like Grandmaster Flash, Moby, Jeff Mills, Peter Greenaway and the former Kraftwerk front-man Karl Bartos. Performing internationally, criss-crossing the art and club worlds, Addictive TV have headlined in settings as diverse as the Pompidou Centre in Paris, London’s National Theatre, Shanghai’s Museum of Contemporary Art, through to Tokyo superclub Womb, Barcelona’s Razzmatazz and San Francisco’s Supperclub.
Addictive TV have wowed crowds at both film and music festivals alike, including San Francisco International Film Festival, Denmark’s massive Roskilde music festival and Glastonbury in the UK. Earlier this year they headlined the opening event at what is now the largest music conference and festival in the world, South by Southwest in Austin, Texas; US music magazine Paste said in a review of the gig "Addictive TV completely blew my mind! ...a compulsively compelling pop culture audio/visual avalanche!"
Using Pioneer’s flagship Pioneer DVJ-1000 DVD turntables and SVM-1000 audio/visual mixer, their live sets are a state of the art audiovisual phenomenon, driven by their fast paced remixes and video mash-ups.
Addictive TV will be headlining the Pioneer Pro DJ Main Stage at BPM on Saturday 18th October. Their set will take place after the Ultimate Prize Draw, following the close of the BPM exhibition area. The Pioneer Pro DJ Main Stage will be located in the Ministry of Sound Arena, a large temporary structure that will be erected beside the main Exhibition Centre. Throughout both days of the BPM event, the Ministry of Sound area will play host to an eclectic mix of live performances, DJ sets and demonstrations.
Tickets for BPM 2008 are on sale for £8.00 each. Advanced tickets guarantee entry to both days of the event, including entry to the Ministry of Sound Arena and also represent a substantial saving on the £12.00 on-the-door price.
