Backroads returns to The Croft to host Steel City Dance Discs favourite Loods

Raised in the Steel City, aka the coastal, industrial Australian town of Newcastle, Loods is an understated character with a fun, raw take on dance music.

Since relocating to London in 2018, Loods has delivered a string of high-impact releases across a range of labels. These include three records on longtime friend Mall Grab’s Steel City Dance Discs label, summer anthem 'Walking Away' on Classic Music Company (Annie Mac's Hottest Record), a collaborative project with dance music icon A-Trak, peak-time Italo burner 'Pure Bliss Meltdown' (Pete Tong's Essential New Tune) and 'Riviera' on Club Sweat, an ode to 2000s house that heavily frequented music ID forums prior to its release.

All of this set against the backdrop of extensive touring throughout the UK, Europe and Australia, mixes for Rinse FM, NTS and Triple J, and numerous remixes for artists like Pete Tong, Purple Disco Machine, Flight Facilities, and plenty more.

Setting the scene for Loods' headline set will be Backroads residents and old friends Steel Horse and Acid Love Letters. Start your engines, and always look back.
