Amnesia is truly home for electronic music lovers from all over the world, for people who come together and celebrate the best DJs and live acts in the game. This huge opening is an annual time for great celebration and always offers production thought through to the last detail, incredible lighting effects and the most advanced sound system in the world on the famous Terrace which boasts the kv2 Audio. This year it’s headlined by returning favourites, Paradise hero Jamie Jones, deep digging American selector The Black Madonna, techno mainstays Adam Beyer and Marco Faraone, Brazilian leader Anna, edgy tech champ Michael Bibi, much-loved Spanish legends Cuartero, Mar-T & CAAL go back-to-back and another special back-to-back between Sidney Charles & Seb Zito, Moon Harbour and Origins Rcds associate, Luca Donzelli, as well as Amnesia residents, Les Schmitz, John Woods and Carolina Fe.

 

Once that opening has set a high standard for the season ahead, the weekly parties will keep the vibes alive all summer long. First up, the now world-renowned Pyramid has made a huge splash in just a couple of years with standout names like Nina Kraviz and Ricardo Villalobos playing in the past. Each week, the iconic club is turned into an immersive adult playground with a world class soundtrack and so expect more next level experiences in 2020. This season, it runs each Sunday from June 7 – Sept 27 with a wealth of international names headlining each week.  

 

Saturdays will be all about Elrow, undoubtedly the most colourful, spectacular and fantastically outlandish party in the world. The world famous production is beyond belief, the atmospheres are always crazy and the sound track comes from contemporary DJs who really know how to pack a dance floor. It runs weekly from May 23 – Sept 26 and will be the one and only place to be for those who like to be submerged in imaginary party worlds. 

 

Together is back to retain its crown as one of the most eclectic and immersive nights in the White Isle on Mondays from June 1 – June 29, then from Sept 7 – Oct 5. For 10 whole years now, this party has been bringing festival-sized line-ups to Amnesia each and every week and to celebrate all that they will be hosting 10 special events under the 10 x 10 banner with legendary residents Chase & Status returning once more. Will and Saul will be bringing with them a horde of hand-picked special guests, world exclusive debuts and first time, one-off B2Bs on their most ambitious season yet, showcasing the best from their latest RTRN II JUNGLE project, alongside all new music to road test for those lucky to bear witness. The lights, lasers, ice cannons and visuals are off the chart each and every time and the very best of bass music is showcased with drum & bass, urban, house, grime, techno and more all covered.  

 

As well as this huge opening party and the weekly residencies, there will be a unique series of six spectacular parties from Do Not Sleep – dates to be announced soon – plus a very special guest with her own Friday night party, and plenty of live shows that will transform the world renowned Ibiza Terrace into something you have never witnessed before. 

 

Already, this is shaping up to be the most complete and comprehensive season in Amnesia’s long and storied history.

The venue itself is on the world renowned Miami Beach and offers a vintage edge with a touch of modern luxury. Nestled in an art deco neighbourhood, it is a truly elegant space with an oceanfront position, plenty of tropical palm trees and and the city’s longest infinity-edge pool. One of America’s most historic hotels, renowned for its authentic architecture, it is the height of  sophistication and a perfect place for a real taste of Miami’s party high life.

Says Ubi Hernandez, Music Director and Partner, “We’re extremely excited to be back at what’s become our home – The National Hotel Pool Parties during Miami Music Week. After a highly successful 2019 campaign featuring shows by MK and his Area 10 brand, Descend Records and more this year we’re buzzing to be welcoming two new additions in the form of Ibiza powerhouse ANTS and the esteemed underground crew Shadows run by Magdelena. Our lineups were pretty stacked last year, but this year we’ve really outdone ourselves and we look forward to unleashing some massive lineups soon. We look forward to seeing you poolside!”

Things kick off with a special Miami Music Week 2020 opening pool party on Wednesday, March 18th. It sees local Miami label Descend Records continue to ride a strong wave of momentum and return after last year’s showcase with label boss ALX alongside very special guests from Second State, Filth on Acid and Form, as well as techno maestro Julian Jeweil and Oscar L.

NEW DANCE MUSIC FESTIVAL ‘ACROPOLIS’ TO FEATURE AT UNIQUE MEDIEVAL CASTLE IN DERBYSHIRE.

by
JBM Music continues to push the boundaries of the UK events industry, announcing their eagerly anticipated new festival, ‘Acropolis’, set to take place at the medieval location of Tutbury Castle; the first ever techno event to be held in a castle within the UK.

 

Located on the banks of Staffordshire, the ancient monument of Tutbury Castle possesses a rich legacy which stretches back many centuries, with Mary Queen of Scots even held prisoner in the iconic venue during the 16th century. Packing people into the historic location – overlooking the River Dove in the Derbyshire hills – ‘Acropolis’ will see party goers descend on the Castle across 10 hours of madness on Saturday 2nd May. 

 

 

With the inaugural edition of Acropolis sure to go off with a bang, the finest all-star billing of underground dance talent has been assembled to play at the extraordinary landmark location, with ‘We Are The Brave’ founder Alan Fitzpatrick, and larger-than-life Bristolian Eats Everything both in attendance. They’ll be joined by eclectic selector Enzo Siragusa, hugely popular Mancunian production trio Mason Collective, and dynamic Londoner PAWSA, as well as full range of TBA support. 

 

Founded by British duo Jorge Meehan & Brian Murphy, behemoth events business JBM Music continues to rapidly grow, following a mammoth 2019, in which the company staged 64 huge music events and festivals across the country, booking a remarkable 328 artists for a combined total of more than 53,000 people. With 2020 promising to prove the biggest year to date for the fast-evolving events brand, JBM Music will introduce 7 brand-new festivals this year, with Acropolis Festival serving as one of the most innovative and highly anticipated to date.

 

With people from all over the country gathering to unite in the iconic location of Tutbury Castle, tickets for this one are sure to sell-out fast, and are available on via Skiddle: http://bit.ly/AcropolisMay2

Time Warp announces massive line up ft. Ricardo Villalobos, Laurent Garnier, Sven Väth + dozens more

by
After a completely sold-out series of 25th Anniversary events around North and South America in 2019, Germany’s iconic Time Warp festival returns to its spiritual home, Mannheim for its 26th year, with 19 hours of music spread across seven floors kicking off on 4th April and featuring both red hot young talents and returning icons such as Ricardo Villalobos, Laurent Garnier, Richie Hawtin, Dixon, Solomun, Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones, Maceo Plex, Adam Beyer, Amelie Lens, Dax J, Charlotte de Witte, Chris Liebing, DJ Koze, The Black Madonna, Sven Väth, Kobosil, KiNK LIVE, Luigi Madonna, Marco Carola, Nina Kraviz, Pan-Pot, Paula Temple and dozens more. 
For over a quarter-of-a-century, Time Warp has been synonymous with impressive line-ups and immersive production and floor designs that push technological boundaries. Says Cosmopop’s Robin Ebinger, “After our shows in São Paulo and New York City, we are very much looking forward to coming back to our home base in Mannheim on April 4th to kick off the next 25 years of Time Warp.”
“Our most recent addition to the Time Warp lineup (which debuted last year) is Floor 7, which will be back and better than ever in 2020. With help from returning partners Rockstar Games, Floor 7 will deliver a cutting edge lineup and an all new sensory experience combining design, sounds and visual technology.”
Artists had plenty to say after last year’s 25th anniversary, such as Adam Beyer – “Time Warp was amazing as ever. Congratulations on 25 spectacular years, can’t wait for the next 25!”
Jamie Jones – “There’s nothing like Time Warp! What an experience. Music and the club environment unites us all, that’s why it changed our lives! That’s why we are still in love. Happy 25th!
Richie Hawtin – “Wow… Time Warp was emotional. This moment was cinematic. Time Warp represents a family. This celebration of life means so much. I will remember this moment for the rest of my life. Thank you Time Warp and the whole family. To another quarter century and beyond. And love to all the people who danced, that was a special one.”
Time Warp 2020 reads as a list of the biggest and most influential names in house techno, from game changing pioneers to contemporary talents. All shades of techno are covered, from dark and driving to more ethereal and spaced out, with special live shows from Bulgarian wizard KiNK, synth maestro Mathew Jonson, Filth on Acid boss Reinier Zonneveld, and a DJ set from hard techno pair SHDW & Obscure Shape.
Next to those live shows, headlining DJs include Cocoon boss Sven Väth, Paradise man Jamie Jones, Drumcode’s Adam Beyer, Music On’s Marco Carola, Mosaic’s Maceo Plex and Second State pair, Pan-Pot. There’s also widescreen sounds from The Black Madonna, acid from Nina Kraviz, minimal from Richie Hawtin and Ricardo Villalobos, blistering grooves from Berghain resident Kobosil, Charlotte de Witte, Paula Temple, Amelie Lens, Chris Liebing, Detroit styles from Seth Troxler and high energy house from The Martinez Brothers, Solomun, Dixon, Gerd Janson, Loco Dice and an always-worth-catching, elegant selection from Time Warp regular, Laurent Garnier.

Planet Paradigm Announces Full Line-up For 2020

by

Cult favourite forest festival Planet Paradigm is back once again for third magical getaway. This one day trip goes down deep in the Groningen woods on May 23rd 2020 with the likes of Zip, DJ Masda, SIT (Cristi Cons & Vlad Caia), Onur Özer, Junki Inoue, Ferro B2B Benny Rodrigues, Abstract Division, Reiss, DJ Orchid B2B UlsT and many more all providing the stylish and stripped back soundtrack for a surreal intergalactic getaway.

VBX is hugely well respected in the underground dance world. The parties they throw in places like Amsterdam are always packed with proper music lovers thanks to the tasteful line-ups assembled. Each one mixes a crack team of residents with hot stars of the day and bona-fide legends. The team knows their local Amsterdam scene inside out and back to front and have a stylish minimal aesthetic to all they do, which means the music is always the main star. They know the best venues and put on legendary parties during ADE.

Meanwhile, once an abandoned warehouse, Paradigm is an important cultural hub located in a rural area of the northern Netherlands that has its own rich rave history. They also host their own wonderfully immersive festivals that create a space where you can be yourself and express yourself freely in a community with people from all walks of life.

Once a year these two behemoths come together to create a unique one-day opening to Planet Paradigm. This cultural phenomenon is a close-knit affair with real music lovers and has sold out each and every time. It always takes in headliners who contribute their own classy, left-of-centre sounds to help visitors reach a higher state of consciousness by triggering all six senses from sunup until way past sundown. The surroundings are mystical, too, with unconventionally designed stages such as the Forest Stage, Dome Stage, Romney Stage and Club all immersing you in an escapist realm that feels many miles away from everyday life.

Like last year’s showcase, aural and visual senses will be pleased in particular with all flavours of left leaning house, techno and electro from deep diggers like Zip and Onur Özer, Cabaret Records co-founder and Japanese favourite DJ Masda, taste making minimalists SIT (Cristi Cons & Vlad Caia), a live show from French wonderkid Sweely, mysterious Rotterdam techno talent Tafkamp, special back to backs from Paradigm and VBX legends like Ferro and Benny Rodrigues, with more from Abstract Division, Reiss, DJ Orchid B2B UlsT,Colin B2B Roy Lodder and much more.
