------------------------------------------
Again we return to our home, but this time for a solo run party. We haven't programmed one of these for quite a while and we wanted to make the most of the freedom. So we decided to curate something which explores a more diverse selection of musical influences, looking to Africa, Latin America and the US.
Nowadays we find it hard to compile a lineup without a Lumberjack in Hell and Philou Lozoulo fits the bill perfectly. He truly recognises the impact that Africa has on art, music and culture, which is evident throughout his productions; Philou's tracks epitomise afrocentricity.
Philou will be joined by the Ata Kak band leader and Highlife man: Esa Williams. As a London-based South African, he uniquely combines influences from his roots with an expansive musical understanding, underpinning the new breed of talent on the electronic music scene.
Kon is what we'd call a staple Boogie Nights booking - for the good reason that he's one of the strongest disco crate diggers in the world (no joke) and he's BBE. He also knows how to re-edit classics better than anyone. Expect disco fire.
We hand over the Old Crown Court's Prison Cells to Labyrinth for their very own 'La Rumba', inviting pedigree selector, Jon K, to take you through the motions of everything that spans the globe: from latin house to hard-hitting techno.
As per, this is all to be laid over top-tier sound systems, projection mapping, light shows and supporting sets from Musu, More Than, Labyrinth's Nicky C and ourselves.
