The one-year anniversary of The DEMIX's MELT series is tonight at Club Garibaldi at 9 p.m., and features a host of spirited performances by The DEMIX himself, Pressboard, WC Tank and Echo Island.

For those of you who are not familiar with the MELT series, it's a live concert series that puts a bright spotlight on Milwaukee, Madison, Wisconsin and the Midwest's electronica scene – a spotlight that it deserves.

This is going to be a fun event for anybody interested in glitchy tunes and grooves.

To add to the ambience of the night there will be live panting done by artist Cheryl Casden.

Happy anniversary MELT!
