London’s Abode in the Park Announces 1st headliners and move to the Olympic Park

by
The globally acclaimed ABODE team continues to step things up across the board and have plenty of bold plans for 2020. Chief amongst them is the always sold out annual festival ABODE in the Park, which this year takes place on August Bank Holiday weekend at the Olympic Park in East London, and the first headliners announced are Marco Carola and Solardo, with tickets on sale now at www.abodeinthepark.com. Aside from that, there are also mouth-watering parties to look forward to at London’s iconic Tobacco Dock, special Ibiza weekenders, ABODE on the Rock in Malta, and fast growing new events in the United States and Mexico this spring. 
 
ABODE started as an underground house party in London and very quickly struck up an adoring relationship with all who attended. The music focussed, keen to dance crowd appreciated ABODE’s edgy, forward thinking line-ups and no frills party, and so the brand has grown at an alarming rate. All their various parties round the world from Dubai to Ibiza to France sell out in quick time as ABODE continues to diversify and cater to the next generation. 
Anyone who has been to the essential one day festival ABODE in the Park knows what a complete and fulsome experience it is. And if you haven’t, you’re missing out on multiple stages and a VIP arena that are all dedicated to the finest and freshest house and techno sounds. This year it moves to the famous 560 acre Queen Elizabeth Olympic park, with breathtaking views of London, the world’s longest and tallest tunnel slide and the UK’s highest freefall abseil, with all the world class sound and production you would expect of ABODE. The first of many headliners are Sola label bosses turned house kingpins Solardo, and Italian techno icon and Music On boss Marco Carola. 
 
At the heart of each ABODE party—whether that’s in a UK club, festivals in the sun or in the snow —are the night’s residents. These are Ellie Cocks and George Harrison who have now got a reputation on the European stage thanks to heavy support from Radio 1 and Mixmag, with George having recently been signed by leading booking agency NGE. 
They will play the ABODE Easter Saturday special on April 11th at Tobacco Dock, which is always one of the flagship events in the year and in 2020 is headlined by huge names including Dubfire, Guti, Joey Daniel and breakout emotive house stars Meduza. What’s more, ABODE on the Rock in Malta on June 18th – 22nd is also set to sell out with headliners Jamie Jones, Michael Bibi and many more lined up for that special session the sun. 
Outside of their growing UK shows, ABODE are now also offering Abode Ibiza Weekender holiday packages that make five days in the Balearics in June genuinely affordable, with club entries and accommodation from £249pp. As if that wasn’t enough, ABODE are also heading to the US for some spectacular shows with chart topping dance sensation Fisher and Chris Lake in Cabo and Cancun this March.
As well as all this there is ABODE On The Snow in Avoriaz in France from March 21 – 28, a bank holiday special in Bournemouth on April 9th at Halo, an Easter Sunday Garden Party in Maidstone, 12 hour day and night special in Liverpool on the 18th and Bank Holiday Special on May 8th at Manchester’s Albert Hall. Later in May brings another day and night party, this time at Switch in Southampton, then the three-stage ABODE in the Park comes to Brighton on June 6th with Enzo Siragusa, Danny Howard, MK, Rossko, Secondcity, Skream, Sonny Fodera and Weiss
Tobacco Dock features everyone from Dubfire, Guti, Joey Daniel to Meduza. 
Wherever you are in the world, and whatever your preferred setting – be it a gritty warehouse, supersized club, alpine retreat or sun kissed beach, ABODE has something for everyone.

KiNK Presents Soundcheck, E1, May 9th 2020

by
On May 9th a new party concept from KiNK launches at London’s E1. KiNK Presents Soundcheck. 
An event where there is no one defining genre, where we embrace the various creative outlets of the artists on show and new exciting musical projects are given their chance to shine. 
For the first time ever in one evening, KiNK will perform his notorious Live show that earned him the top spot in the final two editions of the RA Live polls, and then go on to perform a drum & bass DJ set in E1’s Dark Studio. 

 

 

Whilst many know KiNK for his incredible showmanship, playful house & techno productions (epitomised best by his “Playground” LP on Gerd Janson’s Running Back in 2017), and his warm nature and popularity, what they may not know is that he has a deep love of drum & bass.
KiNK’s earliest exposure to dance music was through pirated cassette tapes that he used to buy on the streets of Sofia, Bulgaria in the 90’s. Future Sound of London and Shy FX were some of his favourites and he spent hour upon hour listening to the signature drum and bass sound that was coming out of London in the 90’s. 
Anyone who’s seen KiNK’s Live show or his RA Alternate Cuts Jungle set, will know just how special this is going to be. 
Joining KiNK, is another one of the dance music’s greatest figures. There are few names in the music industry that have had such a profound impact on the culture of dance music as Goldie. Founder of the legendary drum & bass outfit Metalheadz, being awarded an MBE, an actor in the Jame Bond film The World is Not Enough and Guy Ritchie’s classic ‘Snatch’, a highly regarded graffiti artist and producer of the boundary pushing Inner City Life and Timeless. His contributions to creative culture are unparalleled.

 

 

As a DJ, he’s at his best when he has time to tell his story. So he’ll be playing at Extended DJ set in the Dark Studio with MC GQ. 
In E1’s Warehouse we’re thrilled to have Goldie present his newest creative project “Subjective” in partnership with James Davidson (one half of Ulterior Motive). Subjective’s debut album “Act One – Music for Inanimate Objects’ featured African rhythms, ambient Jazz, vocals from the likes of Natalie Duncan, Tyler Daley and Terri Walker. Even contributions from Jon Dixon of Detroit techno legends Underground Resistance. 
Headlining support in the Warehouse is one of the most masterful disc jockeys we know. Detroit legend DJ Bone. A DJ’s DJ who earned his respect within the scene, as a DJ first and foremost, whist many others have gone down the production route. Blending, scratching, back spinning, no monitors or headphones; unrivalled in his use of the fader switch, you name it he does it and he incorporates it all into every set. 
His dedication to the art of dance music and DJ’ing is so untainted and intense that the tales of his confrontational encounters with flashy booking agents and “big name” djs are already the stuff of legend. No hype or trends, just a relentless drive and passion to take the party to another level. That’s why he’s one of the few spin masters other DJs hate to follow.
The line-up doesn’t stop there though. Playing in the bass orientated Dark Studio is an artist who through his time as Om Unit, has always drawn from various influences that include hip-hop, dubstep, ambient, jungle, footwork, techno and more. In the late 2000s, Om Unit began to travel across genres and scenes in search of sonic tropes to cross-breed and re-imagine. Key to his approach has always been a desire to never settle for the destination and instead focus on what can be learnt from the journey.
In 2011, Om Unit set up Cosmic Bridge Records – his own label through which he has exercised an A&R sensibility that has created an exciting independent home for like minded artists. In 2014 he signed to Goldie’s Metalheadz, where he was given access to Goldie’s personal sample archive as the inspiration for his Inversion album. 
Another special guest will be announced shortly. All we can say for now is that she’s one of the most exciting producers to break through the UK dance scene right now. 
Straight off the back of his Phonox debut alongside key players from the Innervisions roster and opening set for Sasha at E1, their resident DJ Nick Castle also joins the bill. 
Curated by KiNK, produced by Labyrinth. See you on May 9th…

Glasgow’s Platform 18 Announces 2020 Edition with Richie Hawtin, Floorplan, Fjaak (live), ANNA and More

by

Platform 18 continues to reshape the Glaswegian scene with its mouth watering 2020 edition on Saturday July 4th and 5th 2020, featuring world class headliners Richie Hawtin, Floorplan, Fjaak (live), ANNA and more all playing one visually spectacular main stage in a unique urban setting.

We can now announce that local stalwart Jackmater will going the event along side techno icon Kevin Saunderson who will performing his E-Dancer show.
All this once again goes down on West Street, on the South side of the city, in a space that has only been used by Platform 18. It is a subway station car park beneath two bridges that has a raw, illicit feel that harks back to the earliest, purest days of raving. Enclosed by walls and the bridges themselves, it is a small, intense space that, in an echo of the iconic dance music phenomenon that is planes flying over DC10, has regular trains rattling by on the lines above, often adding to the electric atmosphere generated down below!
Platform 18 offer something new and fresh for Glaswegian house and techno lovers and has done since 2013. It comes from the mind of a promoter who has been putting on events for over 12 years and gives you an intimate connection with DJs: everything is set up so the raver and DJ are in sync, the selectors can join punters in the crowd for hugs and even high fives during set and they have done many times in the past, which always makes this a very special and standout occasion.
What’s more, from the beginning, Platform 18 have worked with SAMH (Scottish Association for Mental Health) and created the healthy slogan ‘Everyone on the same level’. Over the years they have raised around £5000 in funds but more importantly continue to create awareness around the issue with young people who may be directly or indirectly affected.
The one main stage will be decided out with visuals and more production than ever before in 2020 and this year for the first time there will be a slot set aside for up and coming local artists Systematic and Tom & Gerry. “We really want to support the future and these lads have what it takes,” says founder Ivan Kutz, who also plays the festival again this year.
Musically it is another high class affair in 2020 with techno titan and Minus label boss Richie Hawtin bringing his avant garde futurism, Brazil’s leading techno proponent and Drumcode associate ANNA, a live show from the jacking Berlin outfit Fjaak, and some true school Detroit sounds from the foster daughter duo of Robert and Lyric Hood, who imbue their timeless sounds with gospel influxes and get the floor in raptures every time they play. Add in cult underground legend Domenic Cappello, plus man of the moment Fraz.ier and you have an all encompassing soundtrack.
Platform 18 is a two-day techno bonanza unlike any other in Glasgow, and the next edition is shaping up to be the best yet.

Terminal V All Nighters

by
Scotland’s Terminal V Festival has become one of the largest and most successful parties in the UK, and now the team behind it announce a bold and exciting new project: Terminal V All Nighters. Inspired by the simpler days of the 90s, when dancers picked their spot on the floor and kept going all night long, these new events will recapture the spirit and essence of those halcyon days, with a modern twist. 

 

Launching this summer, these special showcase events will harness the power and intensity of the iconic Area V stage at Terminal V, but all night long.  Of course, they will fit in between the landmark Terminal V Easter and Halloween parties that have become such an essential part of the yearly party calendar for those in the know. 

 

Each one will start at 8pm and run until 6am on the awesome Area V Stage, with 5000 people partying hard at The Royal Highland Centre. As is always the way with Terminal V events, the line ups will feature the biggest and most forward thinking artist and brands from the worlds of house and techno. They start in August and take things back to a more stripped down approach coupled with all the next level production the world has come to expect from Terminal V.

Hide&Seek announces 2020 return with Raresh, Apollonia, Sonja Moonear, Sweely, Gene On Earth, VOIGT.MAS, Detroit Swindle and more

by
After a stunning first outing in 2019, Hide&Seek Festival returns to the grounds of Capesthorne Hall in Macclesfield, Cheshire on September 5th, 2020 – with a world-class line-up just announced that includes Apollonia, Jeremy Underground, Sonja Moonear, Raresh, VOIGT.MAS, Ingi Visions, Detroit Swindle, Gene On Earth and many more over 12 hours of dancing. Also revealed today, festival-goers can expect entirely new stage concepts for this year as the event continues to build, while organisers plan further developments to existing stages and the wider audio/visual production standards that so impressed last time around. Most importantly, they plan to preserve the intimate close knit family feeling on site with a limited fixed capacity.
On announcement of the date, pre-sale tickets sold out in double-quick time and so Early Bird numbers have now been boosted alongside the reveal of the 2020 DJ line-up. Move fast to make sure that you don’t miss out on cheap entry tickets for this cult new festival which sold out in 2020.
After a bold and well-received debut, 2020 will see the Hide&Seek concept really come to life. Last year, the template was laid out, and the response was phenomenal – artists hung around to soak up the vibes after their sets, the crowd was in the know and travelled from the four corners of the UK and beyond. That template was forward thinking music, fresh and exciting stage designs, and a first-class showcase of cutting-edge artists that gets all the details exactly right.
Hide&Seek is located in the grounds of Capesthorne Hall Estate and bordered by picturesque, green Cheshire countryside. This truly unique venue overlooks three lakes, stunning formal gardens and once more promises to host a unique, breath-taking experience that puts you at one with nature and music.
A first class array of house, techno, disco and minimal stars will lead from the booth on the day, with the titan French trio Apollonia lining up next to underground heroes like Sonja Moonear and Raresh, who have stripped-back styles that are sure to take you on a heady, rhytmic trip. Frenchman Jeremy Underground will bring his bottomless record bag for everything from rare soul and funk to finest deep house.
Then come Dutch house duo Detroit Swindle; fearsome duos such as VOIGT.MAS (Voigtmann & John Dimas), Spokenn (Ferro & Reiss) and Ingi Visions (Samuel Deep & Julian Alexander). There is more from cult American groove maker Gene on Earth, fast-rising Frenchman Sweely with his uniquely danceable live set, Leeds legend and Back to Basics resident Tristan da Cunha and a special guest yet to be announced. Add to this emerging selectors who have broken onto the circuit in style, of whom are at the forefront of a new generation talent; You&Me frontman Josh Baker, scouse duo UZU from MODU:LAR, Real Gang head honcho / Slapfunk resident Miller & Beeyou records bossman / Infuse resident Laidlaw, all bringing their new wave sounds to the Mill Wood.
Hide&Seek‘s continued mission is to create a festival for like-minded music lovers to come together and experience something which has not previously been on offer within the North of England across one stand-out day and night. Wider line-up information, local talent, stage announcements, brand partners and more are yet to be revealed.

Octan announce opening party and 2020 plans

by
After their much talked-about debut season, Octan Ibiza returns bigger and better than ever on Thursday, 7th May 2020 to kick start their second summer in Ibiza. Their opening party will be hosting all the key residents and new ones, plus some tasteful headliners that will bring those serious non-stop grooves we became accustomed to last summer. The season programming will see weekly residencies in addition, and will also be showcasing a series of special one-offs all summer long. 

 

In 2019, the brand new club quickly established itself as an Island and cult favourite for those looking for a more underground and intimate experience. Octan’s Basement is the perfect underground space that gives you a raw and intense energy alongside it’s dark aesthetic, low ceilings and a world class sound system. The style is sleek and stripped back with low key lighting and immersive lighting all making it an atmospheric space of pure hedonism.

 

Last summer saw Octan host Apollonia’s first weekly residency, Planet Claire, which offered the underground heads serious sets from the likes of Nicolas Lutz, Traumer, Cristi Cons, Francesco Del Garda, Doc Martin, Anthea, Pearson Sound and many more. You also saw Steve Lawler return to the Island with his Warriors brand who had artists Enzo Siragusa, GUTI, Yousef, East End Dubs, Seb Zito, Darius Syrossian and more join them in the Basement.

 

New for this summer, the Terrace has been fully redone and improved plus there have been various stylistic renovations inside the club. What’s more, the iconic artwork that adorns the outside of the venue will be all re-done by a brand new artist this season – that will be the case at the start of every new summer. The club will be open across a number of nights during the week, with special parties next to new resident brands all catering to the beat in cutting edge house, techno and minimal.

 

 

Keep your eyes peeled for the first wave of names, but be assured that Octan is set to be the most talked about underground venue on the White Isle this summer.
