Celtronic festival, until Sunday June 28, Derry

CELTRONIC is back in Derry this week for another festival-styled dose of EDM-fuelled fun. Tonight finds Swiss DJ/Producer Ripperton making his Derry debut for a techno and house-infused set at The Nerve Centre following a live set from German deep house icon and 'live laptop' specialist Henrik Schwarz.

Tomorrow afternoon will see Celtronic Kids bringing dance music to those aged four and under via DJ sets from Dollface, Isodisco and Deep Fried Funk at the Gasyard from 2pm.

Alternatively, live acts including Go Wolf, Documenta and Shammen Delly will be in action over at The Craft Village from 2pm, before Detroit techno innovator Derrick May heads a line-up at St Columb's Hall featuring sets from techno producer Objeckt and Derry's own The Cyclist, plus live shows from the Warp Records-affiliated Clark and Barcelonian keyboard warrior Francesco Tristano.

On Sunday Celtronic 2015 reaches its shuddering climax with events at The Craft Village and The Glassworks powered by performances from German house maestro Move D and homegrown electro wizard Space Dimension Controller.
