Tofte Manor, MK44 1HH

Maribou State DJ

Floating Points Extended Set 

Jungle DJ

Elder Island (Live) 

Fred again… (Live)

Labyrinth debuts at the beautiful Tofte Manor with a collection of some of the most exciting producers and DJs in UK dance music. 

Since 2011 Maribou State has built a global reputation through two incredible albums on Ninja Tune, ‘Portraits’ and ‘Kingdoms in Colour’. The duo’s music is as tasteful as it is catchy and as creative, as it is timeless – their music has been the heartbeat to so many of our lives. Maribou State will play the closing set of the event.

With a Mercury 2021 nomination recently announced, the revered Floating Points also joins for an extended 3 hour set on the Labyrinth Stage and his first UK play post lockdown. Through his label Eglo Records, his band Floating Points Ensemble, his work with the London Symphony Orchestra and his sought after DJ sets – Floating Points has established himself as one of the most respected acts in UK dance music. 3 hours of this man at the helm is a scene to be excited by. 

Playing on the Tom Dixon DJ stage, we have one of the most notable bands to emerge from UK contemporary music in the past decade. None other than the Mercury nominated, British producer duo Jungle, whose third album ‘Loving in Stereo’ will be released 6 days after this show on August 13th. Jungle’s music is infectious and their DJ performance from the Tom Dixon structure will be a rare opportunity to see them play in an intimate and unique setting. 

Straight off the back of his highly acclaimed debut album ‘Actual Life (April 14th – December 17th 2020)’ and ‘Marea (We’ve Lost Dancing)’ quickly becoming the track of the summer, Fred again.. will perform his Live show for the very first time on August 7th. An eagerly anticipated worldwide debut.  With their third album ‘Swimming Static’ recently released, Elder Island joins the event with their house-influenced dance music and intoxicating Live show. 

London favourite Josey Rebelle will play a key slot on the Tom Dixon stage with her genre-bending sets. Musician, producer, broadcaster, DJ and one of Ninja Tune’s favourite Nabihah Iqbal brings her wide ranging sounds that draw on her experiences in her native Pakistan to the Tom Dixon stage. 

Opening the Labyrinth stage will be London favourite Anu, whose sound’s blends Bollywood soundtracks, new age walls of ambience, early Hosono and party tunes. Anu’s selections always bring a smile to the crowds she graces.
Labyrinth’s curator and resident DJ Nick Castle will play an extended opening set on the Tom Dixon stage. This is a line up that celebrates the immense creativity of the UK – a part of our society that has been so badly hit over the past year – and we truly hope the scene is down to dance with these outstanding talents at the Tofte Manor opening. 

August 7th will be the first time that the dance music community has experienced this unique space. Those who dare will find the Labyrinth.

INFAMOUS DJ & PRODUCER FERGIE MAKES A COMEBACK TO HIS MUSICAL ROOTS WITH ARMIND RELEASE ‘ALPHA CENTAURI’

by

Listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA51VGEew1M 

“The world needs more Fergie.” It’s one of the phrases commonly used by his peers to express their admiration for the Northern Irish DJ and producer. The last 12 months has provided time for reflection and time to reconnect with himself. Like a chameleon, Fergie has always been able to evolve and change according to the backdrop of the ever changing music scene and having had time over the past year for introspection, the Fergie evolution progresses to yet another new level. His journey back to the studio has allowed him the chance to experiment with new sounds, while taking inspiration from the UK’s golden era of electronica, that is a true reflection of who Fergie is and where he comes from and most importantly, he’s now gone back to his electronic music roots to blast out an absolute banger that already has the likes of Armin van Buuren, Calvin Harris, Rebūke, Eats Everything and Alan Fitzpatrick to name only a few who are jumping on the ‘Alpha Centauri’ bandwagon: 

Slamming down hard with his debut release on Armin van Buuren’s Armind label, legendary DJ and producer Fergie evidently still knows how to whip the crowd into a frenzy. With devastating kick drums and fierce synth lines leading the charge, ‘Alpha Centauri’ packs even more punch than a giant bull that has seen one red flag too many.

“I can’t explain in words how much I love having the connection to you all and being able to explain to you through music where I’m at: both in my life and career”, Fergie says. “This track feels like HOME. My journey in music has taken me on a few twists and turns. I feel like I have lived many different lives and here I am embarking on another chapter. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder and I believe they are correct. I’ve missed my people. I’ve missed my music and I am excited to to be bringing you some full, dark and melodic treats that will give you the energy of the noughties & the heavy hitting wallop of today’s techno”.

Serge Proshe Releases ‘Workit’ via Go Deeva Records

by

Artist(s): Serge Proshe

Title: Workit

Record Label: Go Deeva Records

Cat.Number: GDV2105

Release Date: 23rd July 2021

Tracklisting (in order):

1) Workit (Original Mix)

2) Bandura (Original Mix)

3) Workit (Jean Vayat Remix)

Serge Proshe is a producer on the rise — just as anyone who’s sampled this latest EP, released via Go Deeva Records, will surely attest. The rich musical tradition of the old Ukrainian song inspired the producer to create these compositions, and they’re not lacking in brilliance either. Lead track “Workit” is a lullaby about a cat that purrs, which for hundreds of years Ukrainian women have been singing it to their babies. And this song is filled with the love and warmth of a mother’s heart. 

With Bandura, Proshe combined the sound of the Ukrainian string instrument Bandura with and Afro sound, with incredible results too. CAomplimenting the latter is a remix by none other than Jean Vayat, who leaves his own inimitable style on matters. Make no mistake: this is a musical journey across two continents in search of real groove.

Croatia’s Circus Maximus Launches NFT Ticketing & Aims To Become The World’s First DAO Festival

by

Date: 8.08.2021

Location: Noa Beach Club, Zrce Beach  

Tickets: here

Website NFT Tickets: here

Video: here  

New technologies, the crypto industry, and DAO are set to revolutionise events

Circus Maximus 2021 is more than just a festival. It is the first step on a revolutionary road to putting partying back in the hands of the people and becoming the world’s first-ever DAO music festival. This year’s event runs 8th – 13th August at the world-renowned Noa Beach Club in Croatia, with full Covid-19 measures in place to keep everyone safe. Headliners include Da Tweekaz, Regard, Brennan Heart, Imanbek, Harris & Ford.

All purchases with cryptocurrency via the web app at https://tickets.circusmaximusfestival.com/welcome come as a digital NFT ticket, while purchases on the web at https://www.noa-zrce.com/en/events/circus-maximus also come as an NFT ticket that is mined on your behalf and presented as a physical ticket. 

DAO or Distributed Autonomous Organisation is an organization that is run through rules encoded in smart contracts. DAO’s can be organized around common goals or interests. Although most DAOs are focused on finances, Circus Maximus is exploring how a music festival can be organized in a DAO way that allows the whole world to have its say.

The accomplished team behind the well-established Circus Maximus wants to transform the festival industry by making attendees an integral part of the story. The first step on this path is to put the festival in the hands of the community, who will then determine its continued existence with the help of new technologies, the crypto industry, and DAO. 

It means that in the future, Circus Maximus will have a smart contract holding the festival budget. It will lead to a completely community-governed festival where venue location, performers, budget distribution are decided by the community, to be held sometime in the future. A place for all kinds of music and art genres; all kinds of communities where freedom to party is guaranteed. All of this is powered by modern technology that enables a party renaissance that Noa’s team worked hard to build. They made a completely free open source software that everyone can already use for their purposes. 

The first step on this ambitious path is to acquire an NFT ticket for this year’s festival. Dynamically priced, transferrable NFT ticket tokens are issued as a cryptographic token enabled by an ERC1155 smart contract on the xDai chain. The ticket price is determined by the Bezier bonding curve. After acquiring your ticket, you check-in via an app and receive an NFT as a permanent digital record of the purchase, thereby making you part of the DAO in the future.

The iconic setting for all this is the open-air Noa Beach Club on the stunning Zrce Beach, Island of Pag, Croatia with mesmeric views of the Adriatic Sea, world-class sound systems across its two stages and dance floors, 11 bars, and exclusive VIP areas with pools, local boat parties and much more. The 5000 capacity event has a circus theme. This captures the vibe of being on a platform, above the water, under the open sky where a diverse and equal crowd is invited to have whatever fun they like without having to disguise themselves.

The time has come to revolutionize art, and Circus Maximus is here to start that revolution as the first-ever DAO music festival in the world.

BLOODSTOCK weekend tickets sell out; more details revealed

by
BLOODSTOCK is excited to announce that weekend tickets to this Summer’s festival are now SOLD OUT!  A limited number of one day tickets are still available for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with the latter day’s availability now very limited, so move fast if you wanna see Judas Priest!  Anyone missing the boat or wanting to sell their ticket due to changing circumstances, can check here for official re-sales.  So with BLOODSTOCK full steam ahead for 2021, the last of the bands are locked in, all ready for the festival’s 5-day run in just 3 weeks time.  

Saturday’s opener on the Sophie Lancaster Stage will be Midlands alt metal four-piece, NETHERHALL.  The band won their slot through Planet Rock Radio’s band competition and were picked from many, many submissions to win their slot.  NETHERHALL also recently performed at an event at Aston Villa FC for Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler to honour Butler’s induction into the Birmingham Walk of Stars.  Get yourself appraised by checking out the band’s video for ‘Ruminate’ here.  

The second phase of Metal 2 The Masses bands are also finalised, with 11 more grass roots outfits winning themselves a New Blood stage slot.  The South Wales winners are rock squad PEARLER, Kent’s chosen ones are the groove/doom metal outfit STRUCK/DOWN, Leeds’ top dogs are fuzzed-out sludgesters SOUND OF ORIGIN, Birmingham’s victors are rock four piece INSURGENT and Northern Ireland’s winners are doom/sludge 6-piece, ELDER DRUID, all of whom land themselves a Friday spot.  

Snagging their space on Saturday’s New Blood stage are Brighton victors KINZOKU who blend thrash, prog, death and metalcore, Chesterfield’s winners, the Hull thrash/groove outfit IRONTOOTH, Satanic Blackened Deathcore band BLOOD CHURCH take the Wolverhampton crown, coming out on top in Nottingham are rock 4-piece, COTTON MOUTH, Stoke’s winners are dread-soaked dropouts THE GHOULES and finally, Scotland’s Lovecraftian monsters NASSAU take the medal north of the border.  

Each year, the RAM GALLERY showcases a wealth of fabulous and fantastic heavy metal related art, curated by festival founder and globally renowned fantasy artist, Paul Gregory.  This year’s exhibits will include work from longtime Judas Priest artistic collaborator, Mark Wilkinson, who is also showing his latest creation in the shape of Fish’s latest ‘Weltschmerz’ album artwork.

There’s also a very special piece of art from previous BLOODSTOCK headliners, Trivium!  For the first time anywhere in the world, you’ll be able to see the actual painting from their recent ‘In The Court Of The Dragon’ video… and the first 100 fans to check it out can snag a 12×12 print to take home.  Be warned though, the painting is powerful and may be cursed – if you’ve watched the video you’ve seen the two ladies drooling a mysterious black liquid…!  Also exhibiting for the first time in the RAM Gallery is longtime Metal Hammer snapper and Iron Maiden official photographer John McMurtrie, who’ll have seven of his fabulous images on display. 

The ever-popular luthier, CYNOSURE returns once again with his astonishing handcrafted guitars, including both 2020’s and 2021’s creations.  2020’s two guitars are a Jimi Hendrix inspired axe (to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of his passing) and a Ronnie James Dio guitar (marking a similar 10 years).  2021’s themes are a Devin Townsend-inspired piece and a piece that is an homage to Van Halen.  There will be even more than just these works on display, so don’t miss this amazing and unique aspect of BLOODSTOCK, certainly something you won’t see anywhere else!  BLOODSTOCK is also proud to announce this year’s charity partners. 

Our previous partners, the mental health-angled MIND, roll over from 2020, together with the related PATCH AMNESTY.  Sharing the funds this year are DERBYSHIRE BLOOD BIKES, who offer a free medical courier service to the local NHS hospitals, moving blood, human milk for premature & ill babies, biological & diagnostic samples, medication and other urgent medical equipment wherever they need to go in the UK.  Their 65 volunteers and fleet of 13 bikes and 3 cars travel over 200,000 miles every year and are funded purely by donations, needing over £35,000 a year just to operate, so every single pound helps and we’re hoping BLOODSTOCK can give their coffers a big boost in 2021.  If you’ve still not found your tent after 2019’s fest, fear not, Fat Frank’s Camping Store can help!  You can pre-order all your gear, or just that one missing item and collect it on-site. You can have them blow up your air bed while you wait, or even ‘rent-a-tent’ from them for the weekend.  Not only that, they can also solve the problem of towing it all home on the train with their ‘festival bag’ service, where they’ll deliver all your kit back to your home address within 3-5 days post-event, or if you don’t want your tent anymore, you can drop it off at their donation point in the Midgard campsite. 

If you’d rather not wrestle with your own, you can rent one of Tangerine Fields’ pre-pitched tents, ready for your arrival at Catton Park.  No hassle putting it up and then taking it down on Monday morning!  Check out all the size options and book online here.  
BLOODSTOCK’s 2021 main stage headliners are DEVIN TOWNSEND (Friday), KREATOR (Saturday), and JUDAS PRIEST (Sunday).  The festival will also feature sets from SKINDRED, PARADISE LOST, DIAMOND HEAD, THERAPY?, VENOM PRISON, JINJER, VIO-LENCE, SAXON, THE WILDHEARTS, GLORYHAMMER, BLEED FROM WITHIN, NAPALM DEATH, PHIL CAMPBELL & THE BASTARD SONS, MEMORIAM, RAMAGE INC., GREEN LUNG, CONJURER, ORANGE GOBLIN, RAGING SPEEDHORN, LAWNMOWER DETH, CONAN, SYLOSIS, WINTERFYLLETH, HACKTIVIST, THE CRAWLING, EVIL SCARECROW, ACID REIGN, SVALBARD, BORSTAL, SEIDRBLOT, MOTHER VULTURE, BLOODSHOT DAWN, and EVILE, with plenty more besides and a wealth of new and breaking bands on our New Blood Stage.  One day tickets are still available in the ticket store along with child tickets and parking tickets. VIP and campervan tickets for 2021, along with weekend tickets are now sold out.  BLOODSTOCK 2021 takes place at Catton Park, Derbyshire from 11th-15th August 2021.

Sam Paganini unveils first singles ‘Bianca / One’ from the upcoming album

by

Bianca / One: https://soundcloud.com/sam_paganini/sets/sam-paganini-bianca-one
Date: 30th JulyLabel: Jam
Italian techno powerhouse Sam Paganini is teasing the release of his new album later in the year with two very different standout singles from it, ‘Bianca’ and ‘One’. They land on Jam on July 30th and give a fine taster of what to expect from the full length. 
For nearly 25 years, Paganini has been leading the underground scene from the front and headlining every major club and festival in the world, from Berghain in Berlin to Output and Cielo in New York and Fabric in London. In that time, the Italian has also released on influential labels like Drumcode, Plus 8 and Cocoon Recordings and is never far from the top 10 of the Beatport techno charts. As well as club-ready EPs, he has always showcased his fine studio craft on immersive full-lengths like 2014’s Satellite, 2017’s Zenith and 2020’s Reflections. 
Those albums evolved his famously percussive and harmonic sounds and explored downtempo and breakbeat as well as techno. ‘Rave’ from the Satellite album became an instant classic that has been viewed more than 43 million times on YouTube and stayed for more than 18 months in the overall Beatport Chart after being number 1 for over two months. Next to making techno, he has toured Italy as a drummer with a rock band and had a UK Club Chart #1 ‘Zoe’ under his Paganini Traxx alias in 1996.


The sublime ‘Bianca’ is an emotive track that is dedicated to Sam’s daughter, who was a newborn baby when it was written and is now seven months old. It has celestial chords reaching up to the heavens and is driven by silky breakbeats with a heart-aching vocal that really brings light and hope. This majestically light and airy track is sure to bring real spine-tingling emotions to any dance floor. 
‘One’ is all about taking you to the heart of an intense party. The pulsing synths and sci-fi chords bring cosmic energy to a rubbery baseline and prodding drums that never get up. It cannot fail to get you locked into the moment and lost in the music. 
These are two very different but equally vital new singles from a real techno mainstay.

Anyone who attended the Hide&Seek debut in 2019 knows the lengths the team went to in order to make it really stand out as a boutique gathering of true music lovers. The festival will build on that fine reputation in 2021 in the historic grounds of the 18th century Capesthorne Hall Estate and bordered by picturesque, green and rolling Cheshire countryside. This truly magical setting overlooks three lakes, stunning formal gardens and once more promises to be the location of a breath-taking experience that puts you at one with nature, music and like-minded souls. 

The music is a mouthwatering selection of underground heroes, taste-making DJs and influential selectors who have a forward-thinking sound. They span all forms of house, electro, breaks and minimal with French trio Apollonia leading the charge next to big hitters Dam Swindle from Amsterdam, the cult Black Loops and Berlin favourite Gene on Earth. Famously passionate deep digger Jeremy Underground also returns with sublime selections from Raresh and spaced out sounds from the VOIGT.MAS pair of John Dimas and Voigtmann, slick vibes from Sonja Moonear and classy grooves from Berlin mobile record store duo The Ghost, KRN, Josh Baker, Miller, Laidlaw, Sugar Free, Sweely and Youndewan with Back to Basics resident Tristan da Cunha bringing the party next to many more. 

This year’s Hide&Seek is set to be an unreal celebration of the power of dance music to bring us together, and in more sensational colour than ever before.

Spartaque joins forces with ODYSSAY for stunning new track, My Religion 

by

Release Drops 16th July via CODEX label

Artist: Spartaque ft. ODYSSAY 

Title:  My Religion

Label: CODEX

CatNo: CODEX127

Label: CODEX

Release Date: 16/07/2021

Tracklisting: Spartaque & ODYSSAY – My Religion 

Vitalii Babii, aka Spartaque, has been championing his take on the techno sound for well over a decade now, making a concentrated effort to carve his own definitive path in the electronic music landscape. Hailing from Ukraine, the tenacious musician is wholly dedicated to his craft, with heavy touring and an ever-flourishing discography to match. With an early interest in house music at the age of 16, it was only a matter of time before he began to hone in on his passion. Reaching a pivotal point in 2007, he was chosen by Virus Music after winning a mixing contest to perform at the Ukrainian Global Gathering, the country’s first music festival. This opened many a-door for the accomplished talent, and set a precedent for the upward trajectory of his career both in the studio and behind the decks. Proficiently polished through and through, Spartaque’s unparalleled knack for producing intensely raw and organic techno is few and far between in the modern dance music domain, as he now stands as one of the most influential figures on the circuit.

Spartaque’s latest is a collaboration with ODYSSAY, who he links up to great effect on a big new single for CODEX that will blow any dance floor part. The thumping My Religion is a hard hitting and heavy melodic techno track with immovable drums. The wall- rattling percussion, thunderous claps and scintillating synths all add up to a tense and alluring groove, and the beautiful vocals from ODYSSAY really reach out to the listener and give it that extra edge. This is powerful music that will make an indelible mark no doubt.
