Hide&Seek announces 2020 return with Raresh, Apollonia, Sonja Moonear, Sweely, Gene On Earth, VOIGT.MAS, Detroit Swindle and more

by
After a stunning first outing in 2019, Hide&Seek Festival returns to the grounds of Capesthorne Hall in Macclesfield, Cheshire on September 5th, 2020 – with a world-class line-up just announced that includes Apollonia, Jeremy Underground, Sonja Moonear, Raresh, VOIGT.MAS, Ingi Visions, Detroit Swindle, Gene On Earth and many more over 12 hours of dancing. Also revealed today, festival-goers can expect entirely new stage concepts for this year as the event continues to build, while organisers plan further developments to existing stages and the wider audio/visual production standards that so impressed last time around. Most importantly, they plan to preserve the intimate close knit family feeling on site with a limited fixed capacity.
On announcement of the date, pre-sale tickets sold out in double-quick time and so Early Bird numbers have now been boosted alongside the reveal of the 2020 DJ line-up. Move fast to make sure that you don’t miss out on cheap entry tickets for this cult new festival which sold out in 2020.
After a bold and well-received debut, 2020 will see the Hide&Seek concept really come to life. Last year, the template was laid out, and the response was phenomenal – artists hung around to soak up the vibes after their sets, the crowd was in the know and travelled from the four corners of the UK and beyond. That template was forward thinking music, fresh and exciting stage designs, and a first-class showcase of cutting-edge artists that gets all the details exactly right.
Hide&Seek is located in the grounds of Capesthorne Hall Estate and bordered by picturesque, green Cheshire countryside. This truly unique venue overlooks three lakes, stunning formal gardens and once more promises to host a unique, breath-taking experience that puts you at one with nature and music.
A first class array of house, techno, disco and minimal stars will lead from the booth on the day, with the titan French trio Apollonia lining up next to underground heroes like Sonja Moonear and Raresh, who have stripped-back styles that are sure to take you on a heady, rhytmic trip. Frenchman Jeremy Underground will bring his bottomless record bag for everything from rare soul and funk to finest deep house.
Then come Dutch house duo Detroit Swindle; fearsome duos such as VOIGT.MAS (Voigtmann & John Dimas), Spokenn (Ferro & Reiss) and Ingi Visions (Samuel Deep & Julian Alexander). There is more from cult American groove maker Gene on Earth, fast-rising Frenchman Sweely with his uniquely danceable live set, Leeds legend and Back to Basics resident Tristan da Cunha and a special guest yet to be announced. Add to this emerging selectors who have broken onto the circuit in style, of whom are at the forefront of a new generation talent; You&Me frontman Josh Baker, scouse duo UZU from MODU:LAR, Real Gang head honcho / Slapfunk resident Miller & Beeyou records bossman / Infuse resident Laidlaw, all bringing their new wave sounds to the Mill Wood.
Hide&Seek‘s continued mission is to create a festival for like-minded music lovers to come together and experience something which has not previously been on offer within the North of England across one stand-out day and night. Wider line-up information, local talent, stage announcements, brand partners and more are yet to be revealed.

Octan announce opening party and 2020 plans

by
After their much talked-about debut season, Octan Ibiza returns bigger and better than ever on Thursday, 7th May 2020 to kick start their second summer in Ibiza. Their opening party will be hosting all the key residents and new ones, plus some tasteful headliners that will bring those serious non-stop grooves we became accustomed to last summer. The season programming will see weekly residencies in addition, and will also be showcasing a series of special one-offs all summer long. 

 

In 2019, the brand new club quickly established itself as an Island and cult favourite for those looking for a more underground and intimate experience. Octan’s Basement is the perfect underground space that gives you a raw and intense energy alongside it’s dark aesthetic, low ceilings and a world class sound system. The style is sleek and stripped back with low key lighting and immersive lighting all making it an atmospheric space of pure hedonism.

 

Last summer saw Octan host Apollonia’s first weekly residency, Planet Claire, which offered the underground heads serious sets from the likes of Nicolas Lutz, Traumer, Cristi Cons, Francesco Del Garda, Doc Martin, Anthea, Pearson Sound and many more. You also saw Steve Lawler return to the Island with his Warriors brand who had artists Enzo Siragusa, GUTI, Yousef, East End Dubs, Seb Zito, Darius Syrossian and more join them in the Basement.

 

New for this summer, the Terrace has been fully redone and improved plus there have been various stylistic renovations inside the club. What’s more, the iconic artwork that adorns the outside of the venue will be all re-done by a brand new artist this season – that will be the case at the start of every new summer. The club will be open across a number of nights during the week, with special parties next to new resident brands all catering to the beat in cutting edge house, techno and minimal.

 

 

Keep your eyes peeled for the first wave of names, but be assured that Octan is set to be the most talked about underground venue on the White Isle this summer.
