'Hard Islands' is the assured and confident new album from Nathan Fake, set for release on 18th May on Border Community. To celebrate, Border Community and Allez-Allez will be taking over Elephant & Castle arts club Corsica Studios on Friday 15th May, to bring you a night of the finest cutting edge danceable electronica that the UK currently has to offer.

Lord of the Hard Islands Nathan Fake naturally takes on headline duties in Room 1, bringing the unstoppable industrial assault of his laptop live show in all of its intense, visual glory. With Nathan's help we have put together a suitably complementary main room support team, comprising a genre-spanning warm-up DJ set from our new recruit Wesley Matsell, a live performance from Mighty Robot's Operator showcasing his own new 'How To Make Bombs and Influence People' album, and an intimate closing set from our own James Holden with his inimitable futureproof experimental take on that age-old business of music-to-dance-to.

Room 2 is ably hosted by DJ duo about town Allez-Allez, providing the same type of impeccable danceable eclectic blend that we know and love from their eponymous podcast blog. To join them we are happy to welcome Caribou mainman Dan Snaith for a rare DJ outing, where his own diverse tastes and influences meet sneak preview offerings from his mysterious new side-project Daphni. Visuals come from album photographer Dan Tombs, whilst highlights from the supernatural underground invite you to improve yourself by experience in An'Unexpectacle's garden booth installation, where faith healing, fortune seeing and much more will be on offer over the course of the night...

Our advance ticket allocation has now sold out, but there will be plenty more available on the door on the night: but do arrive early to make sure you don't miss out! Pledge your allegiance on the Facebook group for the event. And in the meantime, why not pre-order your own shiny copy of the album from Amazon or HMV today?
