Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Reducer are the vampiric industrial dancehall punks that refuse to die, now exhumed via a 3D animated concert film in all their original 80s glory (Gorillaz stylee). For the uninitiated (aka most of us), they’re an essential missing link in the Bauhaus / Killing Joke / Fugazi / On U Sound continuum. Presented with live improv industro chaos and dubbed-out DJs in the bar til late."

A gig held at The Cube on Friday 28th October. The event starts at 19:30.
The Cube x Bokeh Versions x Schwet presents: the Reducer animated movie experience
The ultimate lost 80s dub-punks the cosmos tried to bury! Boiled from the same Northampton pot as Bauhaus and Alan Moore, they gave 2 fingers to an On U Sound record deal ("Fuck Sherwood...no-one produces us") - knowing one day they'd finish things THEIR WAY.
NOW Returned to the road in spectacular fashion via an hour-long 3D animated concert
PLUS:
* Live & improvised modular industro-madness from lifeisfeedback + Dali de Saint Paul
* Bokeh x Schwet DJs playing dub/not-dub til late.

REDUCER RE》ANIMATED.
37 years after forming, Northampton's Unique & Autonomous band, Reducer, return with a Brand New Production - Reducer Re》Animated - an Animated Film of a typical Reducer Gig From the 80's - for those who don't know, Reducer have undergone a renaissance in the last few years - a fresh re-evaluation & recognition of their then ground breaking sound - 2 x 12" vinyl EP's, a digital album, a renovated version of their live vhs video lightshow on USB & Hundreds of new listeners & followers around the world thanks to their website & the fact the music is as good now as it was then.
Rewriting the Musical History of the 80's.
Reducer Fill a Gap You Didn't Know Existed Until You've Heard Them...Nothing Short of Total Sound.. Voices from the Dancehall & the Street, the Bass of Reggae, the Scream of Punk, the Beat of Industrial Dance, Melded into an Alloy of Street Toughened Nouse & Worldwise Wisdom..Honed into a Weapon of Sound...Wielded with Swagger & Thrusting Energy...Reducer Cut into the Body Musical of the 80's, Landing Blows to Fell All Comers. Reducer Were to the 80's What the 80's Were to Them - a Full On Top Fuel Funny Car Drag Race thru' the Wreckage of Subculture & The Excesses of The West, Using Sound & Vision from the Far Reaches of Creation, Snagging Parts to Build a Machine of Noise, Rhythm & Consciousness that Transcends the Era and Delivers a Sonic Assault Like No Other. Never Looking for Fame - Always Finding Infamy. Reducer were never in the Music Business - They were in the Experience Business. A New Musical History of a Decade You Never Knew Existed ..An 80's of Joy, Wild Highs, Gut Wrenching Honesty, Pure Life Energy and Outrage at Humanities Self Obsessed Path of Destruction - Prophets No. Prophecies Yes - They Preach the Words of Love and Hate - Driven by an Evangelical Urgency to Spread Truth and Rights. Think you've heard it all? You haven't heard REDUCER.
A CINEMATIC EVENT • WITNESS ANOTHER 80'S
REDUCER RE》ANIMATED
SEE THE LEGENDARY • HEAR THE INCREDIBLE
The remarkable Reducer Renaissance has seen the Band release their Archive Recordings either on vinyl or download. During this time the Idea of a possible re union was floated - which sadly is not feasible, however someone half jokingly said "Make an Animated Film" - Through our efforts in releasing the archive we had made new friends, who, of course, in a classic Reducer way enabled this idea to become reality. The majority of you will not have seen Reducer perform live back in the 1980's, This is your chance to Experience & Feel the Pure, Raw Life Energy that was Reducer - Live.
