Stir it up!
reported by Bubble Jam
The Glade Festival organisers have done it again, we may officially announce.
After two very successful outing and acquiring legendary mirth of very happy experiences, they pulled another trick from the hat. It is the first festival in living memory that almost sold out without announcing neither line up or location of the event. Only one thing is certain and that is the time when it takes place between 14 – 16 July somewhere in beautiful English county. Some kind of consolation it is.
Anyway we spoke to the organisers of the Glade Festival and they are not really keen on revealing any details as yet. There is a bet going around that they don’t know it themselves and frantically scratch their heads thinking what to do now.
In a meantime while you ponder who is performing at the festival as a taste of things to come there is something cooking in Vauxhall very soon.
The big news is that psytrance and breaks - two of the most vibrant underground dance music scenes in the UK are about to launch STIR:
a brand new night from Nano Records and Breaksday.
As the organizations responsible for bringing psytrance and breakbeats respectively to the UK’s Glade Festival, these dudes are now priming a brand new sonic bomb, in the shape of the country’s first ever indoor psytrance and breakbeats crossover night
So if you are looking for a pre-Glade fix, check out STIR - to be held at the Renaissance Rooms in Vauxhall, London on Sat May 13th.
This is the unique combination and is born out the successful blending of the two genres at the Glade Festival and featuring big names on both scenes; namely on the Breaks Floor:
Rennie Pilgrem & Chickaboo, Hybrid, Dreadzone Soundsystem, Aquasky, Pendulum, Diverted & Diverted & 30Hz & Baobinga.
and on the Psytrance Floor:
Tristan, The Commercial Hippies, Allaby, Zen Mechanics, Ans and Edoardo
Plus making it 3 stages, ID SPIRAL presents a chill out, featuring:
Pathaan, Slack Baba, Nagual Soundsystem and Liquid Djems.
STIR follows on from the successful merging of the Breaks and Trance crowds at last summer’s festivals creating an indoor festival vibe, with two banging dance rooms supported by 2 other tripped-out areas, plus an outdoor chill, a markets space and lots of colourful nutters for a pre summer hit of festival feeling.
“There aren’t many genres that can successful co-exist these days but after the awesome vibe of the Glade we realized that these were two tribes that definitely weren’t going to war”. – Rennie Pilgrem
NANO RECORDS
Nano Records is one of the biggest names in the global Psy Trance scene and has been promoting psytrance parties all over the planet since the year 2000.
Aside from presenting psytrance at The Glade Festival and Glastonbury, the Nano crew have been instrumental in producing the now legendary Zambia and South Africa Eclipse parties, as well as the annual Origin Festival, South Africa’s premium Psy Trance 3 day gig. If there is anything that springs to mind about Nano events, it is simply the quality of production
BREAKSDAY
Breaksday started life as an idea by scene stalwarts Rennie Pilgrem, Pippa of TCR/HUM and Biff from Functional to help put Breaks on the map by putting on an awesome line up of producers and DJ’s to show what a vibrant and varied scene it has become.
The first Breaksday event was at the Winter Music Conference in Miami and they’ve followed that by having an enormously successful Breaksday tent at the last 2 Glade Festivals featuring the largest line up of Breaks DJ’s ever on this planet
"There’s not been anything like it before on that scale… Make sure you can say you were there for the first one."
