The inaugural edition will feature over 70 shows including performances by Arca, Bicep, Thundercat, Leon Vynehall, Polo & Pan and DJ Nigga Fox; and DJ sets by The Blaze, Charlotte de Witte, Nina Kraviz, Richie Hawtin, Honey Dijon, Dixon and Nídia, among many others.

Sónar Lisboa 2022, three days and nights of exploration
Lisboa is now on the home stretch towards its first edition of Sónar.

Arca, Bicep, DJ Shadow, Partiboi69, Overmono, Dixon and Richie Hawtin are some of the most prominent international names amongst the 40 acts that have joined the Sónar Lisbon 2022 line-up today. They join previously announced acts The Blaze, Charlotte de Witte, Nina Kraviz, Floating Points, India Jordan, Honey Dijon, Héctor Oaks, Nicola Cruz, Thundercat, and many others.

The vibrant Portuguese scene is widely represented throughout the lineup. DJ Marfox, Shaka Lion, DJ Lycox and Nídia have already been announced, and now others such as BLEID, Acid Alice, Violet live, Helena Guedes, and an acclaimed live performance by Angolan-Portuguese DJ Nigga Fox, have been added to the list.

The festival will take place on 8th, 9th and 10th April at Pavilhão Carlos Lopes, the Coliseu dos Recreios and the Centro de Congressos de Lisboa, with the Hub Criativo do Beato hosting the Sónar+D programme. These four emblematic spaces will showcase the Portuguese capital at its finest and act as the venues for a journey of discovery through advanced music, creativity and technology.

Sónar by Day – Friday 8th, Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th of April
Sónar by Day activities will kick off on Friday 8 April at the Hub Criativo do Beato, located in the Fábrica do Pão de Factory Lisboa. A full programme of talks, workshops, debates, demos, immersive experiences and exhibitions will take place there, as well as meetings between professionals and the general public. The conferences will explore intersections between art and creativity, between technology and research, and between music and science, with Our Planet and Humanity as the key themes. Over three days, the programme will use virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI) and visual arts to explore the topic of sustainability.

On Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th April, the musical programme of Sónar by Day will take over the Pavilhão Carlos Lopes. On Saturday, the French-touch house sound of The Blaze (DJ); Honey Dijon’s buoyant yet potent mix of disco, house and techno; and a live performance by Ecuadorian producer Nicola Cruz taking in sounds from across the world, will take centre stage. On Sunday, Sónar Lisboa will dance to the rhythm of 90s-style breaks – with a hint of UK garage – during Overmono’s DJ set, and groove to Jayda G’s fusion of Chicago-house and lo-fi glamour, plus a hotly anticipated set of pop-scented sampletronica from French duo Polo & Pan.

Sónar by Night, Friday 8th and Saturday April 9th

Sónar by Night will extend its musical program between Friday and Saturday, both at the Pavilhão Carlos Lopes and at the Coliseu dos Recreios and Centro de Congressos de Lisboa.

The night of Friday, April 8th will feature high quality live performances,including the revolutionary Venezuelan artist Arca, making her debut in Lisboa to present her highly acclaimed quartet of recently released albums, cult Detroit producer Stingray 313 or Los Angelese multi-instrumentalist Thundercat. Top flight club music will be represented by a host of undisputed modern icons, such as Charlotte de Witte and Dixon, as well as legends of the scene who continue to break new ground today, like Richie Hawtin. Other names who are heating up, such as Madrid’s Héctor Oaks, or adventurous DJs like DJ Nigga Fox, BLEID and Nídia, representing the most forward-thinking sounds of the Portuguese underground, will also man the booth.

Eclecticism takes over Sónar Lisboa on Saturday 9th April. Northern Ireland’s Matt McBriar and Andy Ferguson will present their latest album Isles live, showing why Bicep are one of the biggest names in contemporary electronic music. Some of the highlights: an acid techno recital from Nina Kraviz; the percussive bass sound of Dengue Dengue Dengue; Enchufada Na Zona showcasing Lisboa’s unique cultural mix, a ground-breaking new live set from Leon Vynehall; Australian ghetto-freak Partiboi69; two masterclasses in dancefloor demolition from Berlin, with FJAAK live and Ellen Allien b2b Dr. Rubinstein; and wild, borderless revelry of rRoxymore.

Sónar Lisboa 2022 is organized by Pixel Harmony, which brings together the partners Made of You (Gustavo Pereira, Paulo Amaral, Raul Duro), João Wengorovius Meneses, Patricia Craveiro Lopes, Gonçalo Félix da Costa and Kiss, and it is supported by Turismo de Portugal, Câmara Municipal de Lisboa and Turismo de Lisboa.

RISEN – New London festival celebrating the divine feminine

ISEN TO LAUNCH IN APRIL 2022

CELEBRATING THE DIVINE FEMININE: AN EXERCISE IN LOVE VIBRATION

Risen’s inaugural edition features Girls Don’t Sync, Foundation FM, RA+RE, Sicaria Sound, Ifeoluwa, IONA, Tia Cousins, Angel D’lite, Tash LC, Mix Nights, Madam X, B.L.O.O.M., RAW SILK, Team Woibey, Heléna Star, and many more

A brand new multi-venue, one-day festival launching in April 2022, Risen is a new initiative that is centered around the divine feminine, taking place in London’s Hackney Wick on Saturday 9th April 2022.

The concept behind Risen is the ‘divine feminine’ – and the booking policy explores the diversity of the electronic music spectrum in both sound and representation. From house and disco to garage and techno, attendees can dive into Hackney Wick’s labyrinth of clubs and venues to seek out their favourite sonic exploration. Whether it’s left-leaning bass and techno explorations from Madam X, or feel-good house and disco selections from RAW SILK, Risen’s programming stretches to offer something for the most diverse of audio pallets. The policy is simple – the dancefloor is open to all, and there’s a new energy powering the initial Risen outing.

The first of its kind, Risen offers up something totally new in terms of programming and includes talent ranging from grassroots rising stars, revered international legends and esteemed crews, all of who represent the feminine energy. Visibility and inclusion have been a key part of the Risen programming, and the first edition will be something special to shout about – paying homage to the groups and individuals who are driving forward a progressive club culture.

“Having worked for many years to help balance gender inequality across the electronic music world, I’ve always dreamt of putting together a festival that focuses fully on this. Thanks to working for Percolate, this dream has come to a reality and alongside Alice Franklin (Senior Social Strategist) and Maria Grzeszczyk (Logistics & Event Manager) a shared vision has finally come to life. Risen is a festival run by women to shine a light on the up-and-coming talent who work so tirelessly across the music industry, be that DJs, event managers, graphic designers, lighting techs and so on. It’s time for a new energy…” – Kitty Bartlett, Senior Booker and Events Manager

Secretsundaze turns 20 with Parties across Multiple London Venues

UK clubbing institution Secretsundaze is to celebrate 20 years of definitive party experiences with a number of special events throughout 2022. The fist part of this year-long series kicks off at fabric on January 30th with more to follow on March 12th at Colour Factory, April 14th at Venue MOT, May 14th at Oval Space and July 9th at multiple Hackney Wick venues. Esteemed co-founders and residents Giles Smith and James Priestley will anchor each party with guests including Jeremy Underground, Paramida, Galcher Lustwerk, Ash Lauryn, Jamie Tiller, Shy One and more to be announced.

In many ways, Secretsundaze is the last of its kind; the famously familial party first began as a way for house heads, James and Giles, to play records to their mates. It was simply about following hearts not hype and connecting with like-minded people through music and dancing. There has, however, never been any expense spared when it comes to production; a Secretsundaze dance floor is always a place of bright colour and lush design and will also be notably diverse.

Over the last 20 years, the party has called many of the capital’s most revered venues home, as well as hosting all around the world, establishing a much-loved residency in Barcelona and one-off events at Robert Johnson, Closer, Off Week and tons more. Whoever is playing (hundreds of tasteful headliners have included the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Omar S, Move D, Peach, Antal, Carista, Roman Flügel, Shanti Celeste, Floating Points and plenty more) you will find a perfect mix of past, present and future sounds with authentic roots and a timeless spirit. This is also reflected in Secretsundaze’s record label and community-focused recording studio, both of which stick to the mantra, ‘True Dance Music Spirit.’

Further to that is the Dance 2 Sustain initiative which was introduced to Secretsundaze events in 2020 as a way of taking action against climate change. Measures include a £1 “green tax” on tickets, which is used to implement a reusable plastic cup solution at all events, saving over 28,000 cups from going to landfill in 2021 alone. The party’s also committed to negotiating the use of train travel for international artists, offsetting flights where this isn’t possible and booking more local / UK talent.

Co-founder James Priestley says, “We feel super lucky to have been able to do what we love for so long and we really wouldn’t be here without the support of our incredible community, a constant source of inspiration and strength. Whilst it’s great to take stock on reaching the 20-year milestone, we’re even more excited about what the future holds and the various different directions we’re planning to take things. Long live Sundaze!”

The anniversary celebrations kick off with Giles and James playing an extended set in fabric’s iconic Room 2. This is a fitting opening event that harks back to the early days of Secretsundaze as it is a Sunday party that runs from 2pm until 10:30pm. Room 2 is newly refurbished and with a brilliantly high-spec sound system so this one promises to be an intimate and altogether perfect gathering. After that, March 12th sees new school talents Ash Lauryn, Alex Kassian and Aqwea join James and Giles at choice Hackney Wick spot Colour Factory, then on April 14th Sundaze heads to stripped back, rave-ready Bermondsey spot Venue MOT Unit 18 for an Easter special (details TBA).

May 14th will be a classic Secretsundaze day and night summer opening party at Oval Space featuring a UK debut for US rapper, DJ and producer Galcher Lustwerk’s brand new live show, Bianca Lexis, Jonny Rock and many more still to be announced.

Lastly for now, July 9th will be another day and night party spread across five dance floors in prime Hackney Wick spots which will all celebrate the long-running open-air dancing tradition that defines Secretsundaze. Instead of a heavy reliance on big headliners, the line-up will focus on over 15 Sundaze favourites from across the dance music spectrum, with all getting lengthy sets to stretch into the deepest corners of their collections.

Limited, low-cost tickets are already on sale for all these dates so move quickly before the full lineups are revealed; these magical events are sure to sell out. Tickets; ra.co

After a monumental first year that saw thousands of party people descend on West London’s leafy Gunnersbury Park, Waterworks is back once again with a heavyweight lineup that explores the far far reaching dimensions of the electronic landscape. For the next session taking place on Saturday 17th September 2022, Waterworks invites a hefty bill of established names and important ones to watch to join for 2022, with Amaliah, Batu, Ben UFO, SPFDJ, Angel D’lite, Moxie, Club Fitness, Digital Mystikz (Mala & Coki), LCY, Or:la, Skee Mask, Saoirse, Toshiki Ohta, Yazzus, Yung Singh and a serious set of talent across the weekender.

Waterworks’ 2022 lineup is a dream for any electronic enthusiast; with over 70 quality artists on board to soundtrack the festival experience. From dub and low-frequency explorations from Aba Shanti and Digital Mystikz (Mala & Coki) through to hands in the air house and techno from Moxie, Midland and Saoirse, there’s something to please all heads on the agenda for this year.

There’ll be plenty of selectors exploring leftfield club bangers with LCY, Darwin, Skee Mask, and more, plus tripped-out cosmic experiments from Job Jobse, and recent DJ Magazine Best DJ/cover star Or:la. Techno, breakbeat, and everything in between come courtesy of SPFDJ, Evan Baggs, Kessler, and Call Super. Experimental UK trademark techno comes from the boss Ben UFO and Timedance head honcho Batu. Of course, representing the jungle and DnB contingent are Calibre, DJ Storm, dBridge, and more.

Waterworks aims to build a lineup that makes space for upstart artists and fresh faces, whilst paying homage to the founders of our musical movements. The lineup is focused on showcasing London’s rich and diverse electronic musical heritage and the majority of the acts have close ties to the city. This September, Waterworks has dedicated a huge space of its programme to the next generation of selectors and artists who are rocketing skyward – Kessler, Daytimer’s founder and Punjabi Garage connoisseur Yung Singh, Amaliah, Angel D’Lite, Gigi FM and so many more up and coming names on board across the day. The packed-out programme is a nod to the diverse and dynamic club culture in the UK and beyond.

With its home in leafy West London’s Gunnersbury Park, Waterworks will span seven stages – Pressure, Siren, Cedar, Watertower, Commune, Orbit, and Hi-Hat. All will be powered by heavy-hitting soundsystems and immersive stage design across the board. A collaborative effort between London-based promoters Percolate and Bristol’s production powerhouse Team Love, Waterworks was born from a desire to bring a truly fresh festival to the London landscape bought to you by a team of experts. Waterworks 2022 will be a party to remember, so don’t delay in reserving a spot.

London’s Studio 338 announces 2022 shows

Website: https://www.studio338.co.uk/ | Tickets: https://linktr.ee/S338

Luciano, Marco Carola, Loco Dice, Todd Edwards and more to feature

The dust has barely settled on an epic New Year’s Eve party but Studio 338 is already back with an irresistible run of parties in the first part of 2022. The Release opening kicks things off on January 29th with Luciano then the likes of MOSCH, a big Music On Birthday,Space Opening Fiesta and Sankeys Opening host DJs such as debutant Todd Edwards plus Marco Carola, Loco Dice, Matt Jam Lamont, Wookie, CC83 and many more to be announced. Limited tickets are on sale now.

After a decade at the forefront, Studio 338 is internationally recognised as one of Europe’s leading super clubs. This run of parties backs that up and will see the whole venue open, including the vast main room with its exposed brick walls, raised podiums and wrap-around balconies all making the dance floor into an atmospheric cauldron. World class sound throughout from VOID Acoustics and real devotion to production, lights and lasers always elevate every party to the next level.

This summer, Release will head to Ibiza for some uncovered dances, but first the in-house night opens the year at Studio 338 onJanuary 29th. The party will mark a hugely anticipated debut for Swiss-Chilean minimal master and Cadenza label head Luciano, who is one of the most dexterous DJs in the game and always someone who serves up surprises. He will also be joined by Reboot for the event. US house and garage god Todd Edwards then makes his debut at Studio 338 for MOSCH Presents alongside a pioneer of the UKG scene in Matt Jam Lamont. Wookie and CC83 also join in to ensure that all bass heavy styles are covered.

On Saturday February 5th, Marco Carola returns to the scene of his legendary last set on New Year’s eve for his Music On label’s birthday party. Expect plenty of big, rolling techno from the Neapolitan titan as well as more guests to be announced.

The Space Opening Fiesta is always a memorable night in the calendar. This year it happens on Saturday 12th February and again all the stops will be pulled out to make sure it goes down with plenty of the seminal club’s Ibiza colour, spirit and hedonism. So far house legend (and one half of Deepdish) Sharam will lead the dance with Sir Norman Jay… with more to be announced next week

A week after on Saturday 19th February, Desolat label boss Loco Dice is back at the club for Seran Bendecidos and another of his chunky crossover sets where house and techno meet in perfect harmony, welcoming high-energy Manchester trio Mason Collective to play alongside him. Studio 338 regulars Sankeys will also return for an Opening Rave that is sure to blow the roof off. Kicking off proceedings is VIVa Music boss Steve Lawler, while playing each week will be fast rising residents and deep digging DJs Andrew Kay, who has recently released a 12″ with close friend of the club Darius Syrossian, and Hypoxia, who have a release scheduled on Marco Resssman’s Upon You Records in February.
