Now for our huge 2nd Birthday announcement, we have gone for something quite special for this one getting a 6-piece African Dance Music live band to come play for us, and bringing one of the best up and coming DJ's to top off the lineup and let us celebrate in style..

O'Flynn (Blip Discs)
O’Flynn, up and coming producer from London who has been hailed by Boiler Room as “one of dance music’s most prosperous newcomers.” Besides his production capabilities his mixing works wonderfully, touching on global sounds from around the world, amalgamated with the world leading club-oriented sound desired by so many.
One of the standout 12 inches of 2015 came from the unlikely source of O’Flynn who inaugurated a new imprint Blip Discs with two tracks of percussive and powerful, African-influenced house music. ‘Tyrion’ became a tool for Four Tet that was rarely left out of his sets, while the anthemic ‘Desmond’s Empire’ won support from Gilles Peterson and was used to devastating effect across festivals in the summer. An enviable way to launch your career, but he’s not dwelling too much.
His follow up for Blip Discs titled ‘Oberyn/Spyglass’ features more of the clattering percussion and upfront energy that is quickly becoming his trademark. The EP and O’Flynn himself garnered huge Radio 1 and Rinse airtime from James Blake and Hessle Audio respectively, while also showing off a different side to his productions as he continues to develop as an exciting new name in the electronic dance music industry.
