CACA YES!!!

MINISTERS GIVE GREEN LIGHT TO ARTS CENTRE FOR THE NORTH
Plans for a major new centre for the contemporary arts, the first of its kind in the North of Scotland, were today approved by the Scottish Government. The £12.5 million development is expected to be completed by 2010 and provide a much-needed boost to this part of Scotland's cultural provision.

Architects Brisac Gonzalez, the designers of the award-winning Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg, are delighted after receiving the green light for their first Scottish development. The plans have been praised by Architecture and Design Scotland for both the unique design and the collaborative approach taken by Peacock Visual Arts, the project leader, and by Aberdeen City Council. The innovative design places the arts centre right in the heart of the city by incorporating the development into a sunken Victorian garden and has been described as 'visionary' and 'iconic'.

TOOD TERJE YA BEAUTY!

Been waiting a few years to finally get a party with this man...

A protege of the Prins Thomas and Lindstrom school of nu-disco this Oslo native has been responsible for some of the rudest remixes, edits and productions the house scene has heard in a galactagon. From his original 12"s on Full Pupp records, remixes of artists such as Lindstrom, Felix Laband, etc.to his re-edits works under the name of Tangoterje on labels such as Supreme records or G.A.M.M. , you cant go wrong with this man. Expect the latest deep, funk-drifting sounds with Terje's Aberdeen debut there'll be cosmonaught action galore. BACK TOGA FUTURE!! Sci-fi-why-fronts essential.
FREE entry to The Presets live on the sunday if still in costume... oops, gonna be naughty.
