After kicking off its “Mind Quest” series in Tampa last week, the folks at Image Research records are heading across the Bay to The Bends for another no-cover exploration of electro.

This time, curators Justin Depth and Akasha System are joined on the bill by era-jumping Hallucination Before Christmas alum Rat Galactic, and Scott Olson (aka Datagram) who marries an obsession with hardware (think Korg samplers and Volca keys, modular synth and Meeblip Anodes) with modern tech like Ableton to create experimental downtempo and ambient music.

There's no cover for Image Research's "Mind Quest" No. 2 at The Bends in St. Petersburg on Friday, July 12. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
