EMOM is a grassroots movement providing a stage for electronic musicians of all styles, from techno and ambient to live coding and experimental soundscapes. Founded in Manchester in 2017, these open mic nights have expanded across the UK and even reached Australia, offering a welcoming space for artists to perform, collaborate, and connect.
With a diverse range of setups—laptops, drum machines, modular synths, DJ decks, and more—each night is an unpredictable mix of sonic exploration. More than just events, EMOM fosters a thriving community where musicians share ideas, swap gigs, and release music. Regular nights take place in cities like London, Manchester, Nottingham, and Bristol, with a growing network of electronic music enthusiasts keeping the underground scene alive.
No acoustic guitars—unless you're turning them into electronic soundscapes! If there’s no EMOM near you, why not start one? Join the movement and experience the future of live electronic music.
