Spatial (Infrasonics)

We’re hyped to announce the overdue return of Spatial to our club, this time in a headline slot. Since he played for us last summer, the Infrasonics label boss has continued achieving bigger and better things. Back then he was starting to move 12-inches in healthy numbers, already counting XLR8R, FACT and Sonic Router as fans. These days he’s invited to appear at festivals like Unsound, New York’s prestigious showcase of cutting-edge music also featuring Kode9, Appleblim and Dorian Concept this year. If you want to grab a few Spatial productions on wax now then good luck, because they’re just about sold out. But currently he’s getting even more love for his 13-track compilation of all the releases to date. His work is that rare kind that you know as soon as you hear it, skeletal, dubbed out tracks burned with the afterimpressions of 2step, hardcore and techno. If it sounds high concept, make no mistake: his sets are channeled straight at the dancefloor, including bangers from the likes of Hot City and 2 Bad Mice next to a stream of his own exclusive dubs.

DJ Eastwood (Deja Vu FM)

For true grime heads, Eastwood’s name will always be connected with the genre’s classic era. Remembered in the same breath as Oddz, Alias, Danny Weed and Target, production-wise he was setting the bar from early days with anthems such as ‘U Ain’t Ready’. That’s all history, though: Eastwood has reinvented himself as creator of some of the toughest, most bashy house and funky around. Check his own 2010 remix of ‘U Ain’t Ready’ for comparison, or tune into him rinsing out the sound every Saturday night on Deja Vu FM: rolling good vibes with an attitude that’s still grimier than your mum.

Swing Ting DJs (Fat City)

If you go to Manchester, you’ll find a parallel, Northern universe where a club is taking us on at our own game. Swing Ting is dedicated to all the latest and best UK music, like Wifey with a proper hard man accent. Resident DJs Samrai and Platt have just flipped people out far beyond their home town with their incredible remix of Mosca’s ‘Tilt Shift’, stripping back his multi-layered anthem to a bumping bassline excursion with maximum impact. Don’t take our word for any of this, though: you have to clock their recent mix for Manchester institution Fat City, jammed full with dubs from Lady Chann, the boys themselves and local family xxxy and Illum Sphere.
