Amnesia continues to work backward from the end of the season with their epic announcements. But this one is enough to get any and all dance music lovers hot under the collar even before they arrive on the club’s vast and iconic dance floor, beneath cutting-edge production, huge ice cannons and audio-visual displays that are on another level to any other experience. There is a reason that these events often go on for 24 hours, and that is because people simply cannot get enough.
This sure-to-be legendary closing party opens at 1600 hours and runs till 12pm the next day with four rooms of carefully curated music. One of those is the all-new 3-D space which will have its own special vibe thanks to classy house, techno, electro and plenty in between from cultured selectors Jayda G, Young Marco and John Woods.
The iconic Terraza is one of the most famous dancing spots in the world. It is a must-visit for any real clubber and for this party from 18:00 – midnight, there will be special daytime party vibes with a wealth of mouthwatering food on offer to make for a different sort of occasion. Musically, it will be a spine-tingling trip down memory lane with Amnesia classics from the one and only original Balearic pioneer Alfredo joined by Jeremy Healy, Alex P and Jason Bye.
Meanwhile, once the sun has set, the party gets more freaky and the music takes on a late night character from midnight to midday, the Terraza will bounce to the sounds of new resident Jamie Jones and The Blessed Madonna. These are two of the most pivotal and influential DJs in the scene who know exactly how to work giant crowds into a frenzy. They will be joined by firm Amnesia favourites Richy Ahmed, Cuartero, Mar-T & Caal, Sidney Charles & Seb Zito and Luca Donzelli.
Last but not least, the always brilliantly dark and intense Club will be the place for powerful techno from titans of the scene. Drumcode’s Adam Beyer, plus Deborah De Luca, Marco Farone, Andres Campo and Les Schmitz all play.
As restrictions are lifted and the global Covid-19 situation in Ibiza becomes clearer, Amnesia will continue to announce their events in reverse order so that you have plenty of positivity and good news to keep you going until the big return to the dance floor.
This is set to become another historic night in the ongoing story of Amnesia, so make sure you are there… #welcomehome
Welcome to Summer Love Festival 2021, which takes place at East Byshee Showground in Surrey on Saturday 4th September with Terry Francis, Eddie Richards, Adamski live, Saytek live, Darren Emerson, David Scuba, Mr C, Terry Farley, Robert Owens live and many more.
It will be bringing up a 12 hours of boutique atmospheres and intimate crowds, cultured house, acid and techno from across the ages. A stunning leafy setting that harks back to the golden era of rave.
The main Summer Love Arena will echo the legendary M25 orbital raves of 1988/89. Strictly non commercial and totally definitive, it will be unlike any other Old School event or festival because of its authentic line up of DJs from the first wave of Acid House and Techno Culture. These are the DJs and artists who created the London scene in 1987/88/89 and are responsible for starting the first wave of underground electronic music that was formative of the dance music culture the world enjoys today.
Tent 2 is the Superfreq Arena, with boss men Mr C and David Scuba joined by cutting edge DJs playing the very best upfront Acid House, Tech House, Minimal Tech & Techno music. Tent 3 is the Graffiti Kings Radio Arena, which will feature talented hosts from the radio station playing all shades of house and deep house and Tent 4 is the Alternative Arena with DJs playing Soul, Funk, Dub Reggae, Disco, Old School Electro, Old School NY Garage, Nu Wave and Electronic Pop that acted as a pre-curser to Acid House culture.
The sound, lighting, projections and staging production will be fully designed to immerse you in a world of colour like no other. There will also be gourmet food trucks, fully licensed bars, fun fair attractions and merchandise stalls adding to the overall experience. For those who can’t get enough, after hours will be at a brand new 1,200 capacity club in Crawley, 10-15 minutes from the festival site.
The original loved up 88-92 generation will feel perfectly at home at Summer Love, as will the new generation of partygoers, as this carefully curated event is designed to replicate the late 80s orbital raves but with a modern festival production. This specialist dance gathering delivers the very best in House, Acid, Techno & Alternative, music from the roots & inception of Acid House’s culture right up to today’s current sounds, pulling together discerning old school ravers and the new generation alike.
The team behind Wales’ biggest events and festivals, including Inside Out and Colour Clash, have announced a major evolution for the company. Having previously operated as Climax Live, the launch of Escape Records is a huge development that sees the brand new record label, as well as all their existing festivals and club nights, fall under one exciting new brand. On top of this, there are bold plans firmly in motion for a brand new sure-to-be historic and much larger addition to their festival portfolio next year. Escape Records, then, is very much set to change the game in Wales and beyond.
The vibrant new label will be a diverse and exciting home to a vast array of sounds and genres. You can expect to hear the sort of cutting edge sounds that have always been championed across the collective’s iconic portfolio of festivals and events, across three genre focussed sub brands; Escape Tapes (Urban), Escape Jack (House), and Escape Anthems, with exciting releases from red hot artists including Glen Horsborough, Peter Chard and Local all confirmed.
Escape Records will officially launch on 17th May with a host of bold and adventurous activations that will showcase the sort of out-of-the-box thinking and real excitement the brand is all about.
The Escape Records team have undoubtedly established themselves as the leading event promoters in Wales over recent years, launching and firmly establishing three festivals across the country; Inside Out, Colour Clash and Party At The Park, as well as taking the reigns of one of Wales’ most loved legacy festival brands, Escape, each with capacities ranging from 5,000 to 20,000 people, with a huge new game-changing festival all set to be unveiled soon.
The collective has always strived to surround themselves and work with an array of amazing and creative people that are the heartbeat of what the brand stands for. Escape Records was very much a vision for the future, but after the enforced 2020 fallow year because of the pandemic, it now takes centre stage, as bold new challenges await whilst the team work on some very special new projects to be announced very soon.
Says Mark Hopkins, Director of Escape Records, “our mantra is trust and love the process. This means we’ve had an incredible ride, with many knocks along the way, but we have learnt from them all and improved each time and are now ready to take things to the next level. When this journey began, it was based in music and partying and the wider cultural impact in truth was not at the forefront of our minds. Fast forward 15 years and sadly the care free attitude of youth is starting to escape us, but this space is now filled with a more meaningful purpose. The creation of our academy to support and bring through the next generation of music talent in South Wales, our range of charitable and project work most recently supporting the building of a home in Cambodia. Giving back in all its forms to our community, the industry further afield and making sure we embody that in all that we do.”
The launch of Escape Records is the first chapter in an exciting new story. Sign up here to keep up to date with all announcements and developments as the story unfolds.

Shoreditch’s Glam Ushers in a New Era of Luxury Clubbing with Iconic House Headliners
Armand Van Helden, Tony Humphries, Louie Vega, David Morales, Dave Lee, Moodena, Michael Gray, Jeremy Healy, Brandon Block, Allister Whitehead and more US house legends all line up at the premium club
The time has come for a change in London’s clubbing landscape. Dark and gritty warehouses have had their day. After what has been a hard year for all, it’s time that a night out was a luxury indulgence with high-end design, plush decor, and an authentic, heartfelt house soundtrack. Enter Glam, a brand new and standout club that brings light, love, colour and charisma back to the fore. Opening on Friday June 25th in what used to be Shoreditch’s Aquarium, the fabulously designed adult playground promises real theatre with a host of eccentric characters and proven, pioneering house DJs from across the globe.
Glam is a new project from old friends Paul Nelson and Carl McCormick. For years, Carl has put on high-end parties for the likes of Drake, Rhianna and Prince. Paul, meanwhile, was the first person to ever get a legal rave license for his legendary Raindance events. As such, this scene runs deep in their soul.
They first met in 1992, then launched Aquarium in 1995, a hugely influential venue that ushered in the clubbing revolution that took hold in Shoreditch in the ensuing years. Back then, way ahead of their time, the promoters focused on dressing up the venue in luxury fabrics, with exotic lighting and premium clientele who liked to dress up to get down. The club was famously inclusive and welcoming to all. A place where every race, gender and sexuality came together as one. Many modern dance floors now strive for this mix. But it has always come naturally to this pair, and will very much define the latest chapter in their ongoing love story with clubland.
Says Carl, “I cut my teeth at the always beautifully designed and luxuriant Renaissance with its world-class DJs, and I’m not gunna lie, it’s a huge inspiration for what we are doing with Glam. The club is just what everyone needs right now – something that’s high-end, super special in every way, but never too stuffy or elitist. We’re proudly going against the grain and redefining the glossy glam of the 90s with a contemporary soundtrack.”
Each weekend, the fully renovated club will stimulate your every sense with plush drapes, dangling chandeliers, warming backlights and a host of wild characters, from drag queens to burlesque dancers. It will be flamboyant and full of the disco dazzle that made Studio 54 such a cult spot, but always with a no-nonsense, proper house soundtrack.
The utterly sensual Glam offers three unique spaces. The famous pool has gone and been replaced with the VIP Phoenix Lounge in partnership with Ciroc. There is also the mid-sized main room for headliner action, and the magnificent Salon Privé, a cocktail lounge serving contemporary fusion food, with live, cosy, unplugged soul and jazz shows in a stylish art deco setting reminiscent of the roaring twenties.
Musically, it is house, house and more house on Saturdays, which come under the ToyBox banner. It will be an immersive and escapist party that takes you a million miles away from the norm, deep into a fantastical new world of vibrant and vivid colours and characters with the world’s best DJs. Fridays will be taken care of by Soul Kingdom and real disco dons.
The Friday, June 25th launch party features Michael Gray and Moodena, and the night after is a live set from Alison Limmerick, plus UK mainstays Jeremy Healy, Brandon Block and Allister Whitehead. After that, house and disco aficionado Dave Lee aka Joey Negro will serve up one of his masterclasses on the 3rd, game-changing Zanzibar resident Tony Humphries plays the 10th and the one and only David Morales takes charge for six sure to be special hours on July 31st. As well as that, two bonafide US house legends will head over from their New York homes to complete the month.
Glam residents mix established heads with exciting new talents and include The Menendez Brothers, Siggy Smalls, Natasha Kitty Kat and more, with a real US house icon set to be added to the team in August and plenty more lined up including Armand Van Helden, Louie Vega, Jamie Underground and Bellair.
There are just six weeks to go until Glam opens and offers something truly different. Make sure you’re a part of the story.
