An electronica gig will be held at The Storey in Lancaster on September 23.

Hymns for Robots is part of the Worldwide Electronic Music Open Mic (EMOM) movement and this event is a reboot of the popular Lancaster event that experienced the same difficulties most events did through the Covid-19 lockdown period.

Acts performing include Gordon Chapman-Fox who works under the name Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan (WRNTDP) and produces wonderful propulsive, cinematic electronica which has a musical, conceptual and aesthetic setting in the mid 1970s to early 1980s and has made a great impact since his debut in 2020.

James was guitarist and songwriter in the English alt-rock band Pulled Apart by Horses and began writing electronica during Covid-19 lockdown.

After achieving chart success, touring the world, and releasing four critically acclaimed studio albums, James has begun paving a pathway into the world of electronic music and composing, receiving support from BBC 6music and BBC Radio 3.

There are several other acts playing a variety of sub genres such as synth pop, dark ambient and upbeat techno including Guerilla Biscuits, Field Lines Cartogropher, Shelectro, Polypores, and Throbject.
