Ministry of Sound announce M25 Festival

by
Celebrating 25 years at the heart of British club culture, Ministry of Sound announce a new all-day event M25 Festival, taking place at Trent Park in North London on Sunday 7th August 2016.
 
M25 Festival will reunite some of dance music's most legendary names with arenas hosted by A Night In Paradise in honour of Paradise Garage, and Shoom.
 
 
From 1977 – 1987, NYC music institution Paradise Garage nurtured house music from it's disco origins and launched the careers of seminal figures such as Larry Levan, Frankie Knuckles and Nicky Siano. Alongside peers such as The Loft and Studio 54, Paradise Garage set the mould for club culture as we know it today and established dance music's enduring ethos of vibrant inclusivity.  
 
As Paradise Garage closed it's doors for the last time in New York, London's Shoom was just getting started as a young Danny Rampling returned from Ibiza, bringing Balearic club culture to the UK. First opening it's doors in 1987, Shoom Club became a launching point for acid house, spearheading one of the UK's most recognisable social movements in recent history. 
 
Representing the northern corner-stone of club culture, M25 Festival will host the Haçienda Classical for their only UK festival performance this season. With a forty-piece orchestra in tow, the Haçienda Classical will reinterpret classic club anthems, bringing a truly unique music offering to the show.
 
Two further acts revealed ahead of the full lineup announcement take the form of Eric Morillo, a vanguard of house music since the early 90s who relaunched his revered imprint Subliminal Records last year. Original house gangster, DJ Sneak is also confirmed. Famed for his playful, high-energy sets, Sneak's performance at M25 Festival is sure to prove a highlight of the day.
 
As the home for last year's inaugural 51st State Festival, the stunning surrounds of Trent Park in Cockfosters offers a gleaming gem of urban countryside, providing the perfect place for Ministry Of Sound's all-day celebration.
 
Taking place on a Sunday as a nod to early British rave culture, the North London location is situated a stone's throw from the M25 motorway, aiming to recapture the magic and integrity of the M25 rave scene and invite festivals goers from all generations to enjoy the free-spirited atmosphere and revelry on offer.
 

Amnesia Ibiza comes to SW4 in 2016

by

Bank Holiday Sunday 28th August will represents a landmark date in British electronic music history as one of the world’s greatest dance institutions, the seminal Amnesia Ibiza, arrives at a UK festival for the very first time.
 
Taking place on Clapham Common at South West Four 2016, Amnesia will take charge of the festival’s 10,000 capacity indoor arena. The arrival of one of the most important and defining clubs the world has ever seen, signifies one of the most important moments of this summer’s festival season.  
 
“We’ve been waiting a VERY long time to bring the full Amnesia Ibiza experience to a UK festival and we’re very excited about making this a debut none of you will ever forget! We have a great affinity with London and are old friends with the team behind South West Four so it feels like the natural choice for us. We can’t wait to showcase many of our resident DJs and favourite artists at SW4, as well as all the trimmings you have come to expect from Amnesia. If we don’t see you on the White Isle we will see you in August!” Amnesia Ibiza
 
Ranked as one of the most popular clubbing destinations on the planet, the multi-award winning Ibizan superclub has been long established as a mecca of dance music with thousands making the pilgrimage to San Rafael every summer. Boasting an outstanding weekly programme of the greatest parties on the White Isle, coupled with incredible production, there really is no better place to experience electronic music quite like at Amnesia Ibiza.
 
After choosing South West Four for their UK festival debut, the dance music powerhouse will present the unique spirit of Ibiza by bringing the full Amnesia experience exclusively to Clapham Common. Everything from their iconic dancers and uncompromising Co2 cannons will be flown over to ensure that this is delivered in a way never before seen on British soil. To complete their inaugural takeover, a leading cast of extremely special guests have been invited to join us in celebrating this very special showcase. Ranging from legends of the main room to kings of the terrace, this group of esteemed Amnesia ambassadors guarantee to leave us with a catalogue of truly unforgettable memories in of the most important dates in London’s 2016 clubbing calendar.

Hailed as the ‘King of Amnesia’, there is no better man on earth fit to headline their first ever UK outdoor experience than Sven Vath. Having dominated both the main room and terrace through his remarkable Cocoon residency now in its seventeenth year, Mondays at the club have become synonymous with his treasured party. In the past SW4 has seen Sven perform at his very best and 2016 will be no different, as the wax-wielding wizard arrives for his exclusive London festival performance in hugely familiar surroundings.
 
 In addition to Papa Sven we’re extremely excited to showcase the twisted techno alias of Eric Prydz aka Cirez D. Here Eric explores the darker end of the electronic spectrum by joining us as the stage’s very special guest. Last seen in the UK at SW4 in 2011, this will be Cirez D’s first appearance in London in half a decade, making this without doubt one of the most exciting bookings seen at a festival this year. 2016 will see the global icon’s techno-driven sounds shake Clapham Common to its very core as Cirez D looks set to write a new chapter in South West Four’s and Amnesia’s acclaimed history.
 
Undoubtedly one of the biggest bookings of our entire two-day Bank Holiday Weekender, two Ibizan stalwarts will go head-to-head for the first time ever in the UK. After witnessing the coming together of two of the underground’s most celebrated DJs last summer, we’re pleased to reveal that Jamie Jones vs Joseph Capriati will arrive at South West Four this summer in a full UK festival exclusive. Responsible for the greatest Ibizan highlight of 2015 at DC10, the demand to see Jamie and Joseph play back to back is phenomenal. Each at the very top of their game, this is simply unmissable.
 
Considered amongst the true greats of electronic music and ranked within its most influential characters, SW4 is honoured to welcome back Danny Tenaglia for his first performance at the festival in eight years and in another UK festival exclusive. This will form his first show on London soil in over a year, making his return all the more special. Danny’s relationship with Amnesia dates back over twenty years where his sets have become the stuff of legend and joins them in a hugely anticipated return to Clapham Common.
 
Having been heavily involved in Amnesia’s programming over the years and holding an outstanding residency at the club since 1999, Mar-T has become a firm fixture in making the White Isle’s #1 club what it is today. He will arrive for his SW4 debut alongside breakthrough Spanish talent Cuartero who also joins us for the first time following superb sessions at Amnesia throughout last season.

This July, Summer Series at Somerset House with American Express plays host to an eclectic selection of hotly tipped emerging acts to complement the world-class headliners.

For 11 nights from 7 to 17 July, London’s intimate live music festival, set in the picturesque courtyard of Somerset House, presents some of the most promising talent in the music industry. Artists such as Chet Faker, Jess Glynne, Jessie Ware and Aurora are among those who have opened the gigs in the past and gone on to enjoy critical and commercial success.

Building on this history of showcasing premier emerging talent, Somerset House is delighted to announce that female poet and singer-songwriter Sampa the Great will open Summer Series for Hiatus Kaiyote, who were recently honoured with the Jazz FM Album of the Year Award.

The following night, critically acclaimed rock duo The Leisure Society will support Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott. Dubbed the English answer to Grizzly Bear and Fleet Foxes, their debut single The Last of the Melting Snow was credited with an Ivor Novello nomination.

Laura Mvula is joined by two promising talents on July 10, Gallant and Jodie Abacus. Christopher Gallant has been labelled “the voice that will redefine R&B" by NME – high praise, backed up by his performances at Coachella and SXSW this year. South London musician Jodie Abacus has been busy recording his debut album with an impressive line-up of artists, producers and writers including Julio Bashmore, Tobias Jesso Jnr, Duke Dumont and Fred Gibson.

Claudia Kane’s vivid gothic electronica will fill the courtyard ahead of Caravan Palace’s pioneering electro-swing. Expect an intensely personal sonic cocktail that blends hard-hitting lyrical material influenced by Massive Attack, Bjork and Portishead.

On July 13, multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer Bill Ryder-Jones supports Courtney Barnett. Ryder-Jones is a remarkable musician and former member of the band The Coral. Recorded in his childhood bedroom, his third album West Kirby County Primary offers insight into his world by taking intimate stories and setting them to glorious molten melodies.

Other highlights include: beautiful vocal arrangements from young songstress JONES’, who has received acclaim from the likes of Jools Holland, Calvin Harris and Sam Smith; London-based five-piece band Pumarosa; the soulful stylings of Samm Henshaw and flamenco-infused Latin talent Gizmo Varillas whose disarming vocals and genre-hopping rhythms will take over the beautiful courtyard. 

The festival will close with a unique, one-off performance from UNKLE: REDUX, as James Lavelle collaborates with Philip Sheppard and a number of special to guests to present a night to remember.

Once again there is a fantastic line-up of young artists as part this years Area 2 programme.  

It is a stage for the second generation of singers, musicians, bands just coming onto the folk and wider scene.

In addition, there are music workshops over the weekend in the main racecourse building – perhaps there will be people new to music in these sessions who will take to the Area 2 stage in the years to come!

Prepare to be blown away by the creativity and talent on show in Area 2 – will you spot tomorrow’s big names amongst the many talented young people involved?

Jim Pybus, Festival Director commented “Beverley Folk Festival remains committed to giving new, young voices a platform on which to perform and that helps to ensuring the tradition has a great future. Area 2 is a real treat for anyone with an interest in new music, be if folk or not, and we invite audiences young and old to join us in supporting these fantastic musicians and artists.”

Lost Village Festival 2016 preview – what can you expect?

by

Popping the cork as one of the first festivals to kick off the summer, Lost Village has gained a reputation as one of those majestic events; the type that you stand amidst an atmosphere of beats, seeing live art to the right, a battalion of ravers to the left, and a group of 24 people doing a yoga session in front of you. It’s unique, its special – it’s Lost Village.

Founded by Moda Black maestros Jaymo and Andy George last year, the duo smashed through the festival calendar and paved the way for boutique festivals to become the ones to watch.

In only its second year, Lost Village opens the festival season deep in the Lincolnshire countryside next weekend. With the likes of living legend Fatboy Slim, techno marvel Ben Klock and Bristol’s own Eats Everything taking to the decks, the three day festival is set to be one hell of an event.

The course of the weekend will bring top acts such as Jackmaster, Heidi, Ben UFO, DJ Koze, Enzo Siragusa and Midland, all complemented by live sets from Âme, Kink and Jack Garratt – and we’re barely scratching the surface.

It’s the little things that make a festival, and Lost Village is set to deliver. There’s theatre, a four-course tribal banquet, and street food from all over the world – not to mention unusual ‘inhabitants’ round every corner. For those who fancy a break from dancing, raving – and just, the world – the Lake of Tranquillity promises to allow you to find your zen, providing yoga sessions, wood-fired hot tubs, massages and aromatherapy. Possibly the best festival hangover cure we’ve seen yet.

With a plethora of incredible acts, weird and wonderful experiences and all the while being set in hauntingly beautiful woodland, we can’t bloody wait for Lost Village. So roll on the first festival of the season – it looks like it’ll be a hard one to beat.

There’s still time to grab tickets, starting from £149 for the full weekend with camping. Head over to www.lostvillagefestival.com.
