In 2022, City Splash is about to get even bigger with the announcement of 5 headline artists, including the Nigerian afropop powerhouse and self-proclaimed ‘Banku Music’ tastemaker Mr Eazi, who has worked with the likes of Beyoncé, Bad Bunny, and J Balvin and over the past several years has become a leading name within afropop, afrobeats, and R&B. Also headlining is reggae-dancehall legend Barrington Levy, who has built a storied and prestigious career that stretches across 40+ years. Fans can expect to hear favourites ‘Here I Come’, ‘Black Roses’, and ‘Under Me Sensi’ as the music pioneer creates festival moments to remember for all in attendance.

For over a decade, Protoje has become a frontrunner in modern reggae and is now set to headline City Splash this year. With his expansive catalogue of music that spans across 6 studio albums, Protoje has consistently taken inspiration from roots, making him one of the most authentic artists on the scene as he fuses the genre with his fresh reggae stylings that incorporate rap and hip-hop. With over 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify and having worked with a series of A-list names including Tory Lanez, Ty Dolla $ign, and Wiz Kid, Kranium is a much-welcomed headliner of this year’s line-up and will be taking the festival to another level when he takes to the stage. Also headlining City Splash in Brockwell Park this summer is the Grammy-nominated afropop, dancehall, and reggae virtuoso Stonebwoy, who has become a leading name in the genre through his ability to traverse across multiple sub-genres to create a sound that is both invigorating and addictive.

Elsewhere on the line-up, City Splash is pleased to welcome the immensely influential Sister Nancy, whose track ‘BamBam’ has amassed close to 100,000,000 streams on Spotify and has been sampled by the likes of Jay-Z and Kanye West. Her not-to-be-missed set at City Splash is certain to be a historic moment within London’s reggae and dancehall scene. Joining her is the spectacular roots-reggae singer Luciano, who will be bringing his silky smooth beats and supple vocals to the festival stage. Also added to the bill is the genre-fusing sensation AMARIA BB, who despite releasing just a handful of singles and EPs has already become one of the most exciting artists to have emerged in recent years. Her blend of pop, afropop, R&B, soul, hip-hop, and more will be one of the highlights of the festival in 2022.

City Splash 2022 is set to be one of the parties of the summer as the line-up continues to overflow with stellar names, including the Tottenham-born proto-jungle tastemaker Congo Natty, whose exhilarating beats will be taking the festival to new heights in May. Also announced is renowned specialist reggae sound system brand turned electrifying live act Channel One (Mikey Dread and MC Ras Kayleb), rising reggae and dancehall star Khalia, reggae co-founders Twinkle Brothers whose music extends across nearly 70 years, R&B hitmaker Kele Le Roc, and the renowned DJ Ras Kwamewho has been a been a much-loved resident DJ at both BBC Radio 1 and BBC 1Xtra before joining Capital Xtra in 2013.

Completing the line-up is a collection of both established and up-and-coming artists that span across decades of reggae, dancehall, afrobeats, and more. Names include Christopher Ellis, Dreya Mac, Dubwise Jamaica, Eva Lazarus, General Levy, Heartless Crew, Iration Steppas, Juls, King Tubby’s, Mad Professor, Mercedes Benson, Moonchild Sanelly, Neptizzle, Pioneer B2b Supa D ft. Coldsteps, Rampage Sound, Saxon Sound, Seani B, The Heatwave and final additions Alicai Harley, Earl Sixteen, The Compozers, True Identity, Bobo Blackstar, Cassandra London, Claire Angel, Daddy Nature, Dohlance, Flags Sound, Horseman, HYA-P, Kemarr, Legal Shot Sound, Lioness Fonts, Mixmaster J, Natural High Music, Rebel Clash, Ric Carbi, Shotz, Super Midz and Vincent Nap. For a full and comprehensive list of all announced names please see below, and more names are to be announced in the coming months!

City Splash is also pleased to announce its official stage partners for 2022, starting with the female-led Bossy LDN, who since 2015 have been showcasing cutting-edge talent from across music, popular culture, and fashion with its creative and innovative events and radio shows. Joining them are the historic Channel One Sound System, who have been ingrained into roots and reggae culture for over 40 years and are integral to the scene. Also being announced as stage partners are the London-based music and broadcasting legends Rampage Sound, who are famous for their presence at Nottinghill Carnival in which they present their phenomenal static sound system, the largest of its kind in Europe. Their impressive resume dates back 20 years and counting, and they have worked alongside the likes of Kanye West, Jay-Z, NAS, Usher, Wyclef, and more. The final stage partner to be announced are the viral internet-radio sensations and live event creators Recess, who have undergone an almost overnight success having first emerged just a few years ago and have since gone on to become a leading voice within the UKs Black community.

Each one comes under his Metamorfosi banner on Fridays July 22nd, August 5th and August 19th and they promise to be an immersive dive into the Italian tastemaker’s unique musical world alongside a carefully curated mix of special guests.

Joseph has always been on a mission to constantly push forward as an artist as does his commitment to making a lasting mark on the global dance music underground through his music. As such, when he arrives at Amnesia he is sure to step up his game and take the vast crowds to the next dimension.

Says Joseph, “It’s a dream come true to have these dates at Amnesia. I have been dreaming about this since the first time I went to the club. Every party will be packed with passion from me and my whole team. Everyone will feel that when they step into the club. We decided to do just three nights so that we can really put everything into each one. I can’t wait to see you there and make sure these events are truly special and unique experiences.”

These are set to be three unmissable events for techno lovers. Sign up now for tickets at https://www.amnesia.es/.

MEUTE release latest single ‘PLACES’, taken from forthcoming TAUMEL album

by

Stream now: https://spoti.fi/3kH78kJ

FTechno marching band MEUTE delivers the next brand-new single on in-house label TUMULT. Out now, ‘PLACES’ is a MEUTE rework of the same name by French duo ‘The Blaze’.

Compared to previous MEUTE singles, ‘PLACES’ has a slightly softer touch and more of a tropical vibe. Exceptional for the band are vocals by MEUTE’s bass saxophone player Philip Morton Andernach. In this setting, MEUTE again finds new ways between the characteristic live techno sound and a more receivable house vibe, ready for the next summer rave.

This unique band has been making worldwide waves since 2016. The 11 musicians from Hamburg wear their iconic red jackets and love to break the rules and defy boundaries. What started as a small experiment on the streets of St. Pauli quickly became a globally acclaimed phenomenon. The band revolutionises techno and redefines the concept of a brass band using only acoustic instruments. They have crafted viral hits, sold-out clubs, had props from Dixon, Laurent Garnier and BBC Radio 1 amongst many more, and generate real excitement every time they play.

The new single shows the versatility of the upcoming album TAUMEL, out on November 18th. After finishing their second North America tour at the legendary Coachella Festival, MEUTE is embraced to unveil a world of electronic indulgence on Europe’s Festival stages.

by

Stream / Purchase – lnk.to/OxygenLevelsLow

 
Following his previous excursion Patterns EP, dutch DJ and producer Colyn returns to Afterlife with more interplanetary sonics.

‘KL427’ and ‘Lightyears’ are a little more pensive, blending emotive composition and compelling rhythms to tantalise your body and mind.

Huge 90s Pop show arrives in Manchester at the AO Arena

by

20+ legendary 90s POP artists perform for one night only on 29th October 2022

Hold onto your seats, this show is about to blow you away. 90s Baby brings you the greatest 90s pop artists performing live at the monumental AO Arena. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see all your favourite 90s pop artists together for one night and guarantees to transport you back to simpler times.
 
The multi-platinum song Barbie Girl arguably sums up the late 90s pop era by itself and its europop creators, Aqua, will be performing live this October. Hailing from Turin, Italy, Eiffel 65 came together in 1997 and the group quickly gained global popularity. Their singles Blue (Da Ba Dee) and Move Your Body from the album Europop proved immensely successful worldwide.  Heyyy Macarena! We’ve all heard those legendary lyrics at parties up and down the country. We’re bringing Los Del Rio to the arena, the creators of the globally successful tune Macarena released in 1993.
 
British soul singer, Heather Small joins us and is the lead singer in the group M People which went on to win Best British Dance act at the Brit awards in 1994 and 1996. Lou Bega’s performs live! His iconic tune Mambo No. 5 topped the charts in most European countries including France, Germany, and the UK. Next up, Gala’s incredible tune Freed From Desire – another Eurodance belter from 1996 which peaked at number 2 in the UK charts for 8 weeks.
 
Atomic Kittens formed in 1997 and their songs Whole Again and The Tide Is High captured an era. Two original members, Liz and Natasha will be performing these classics and more live. Irish girl group B*Witched also join us, best known for their tunes C’est La Vie, Rollercoaster, To You I Belong and Blame It on the Weatherman. These songs all reached number one and the group sold millions of records worldwide.

 

2 Unlimited’s legendary acid-house track Get Ready For This released in 1991 and reached dizzying heights across the globe. Corona created seminal dance tracks such as The Rhythm of the Night released in 1993, which is up there with the best dance music to come out of the 90s. Italian dance act Whigfield created the legendary tune Saturday Night in 1993 and joins us at 90s Baby. We can’t wait for you to see them!
 

Las Ketchup’s The Ketchup Song (Asereje) sold over 7 million copies worldwide and immediately transports you to those early noughties’ times.

by

Sonus Festival today announces the third phase line-up for its hugely anticipated 2022 edition.

Dates: 21st – 25th August 2022
Now playing across four celebrated open air clubs on Zrce Beach from 21st – 25th August 2022 as part of the more than 50-strong list of headliners will be The Martinez Brothers, Margaret Dygas, Vintage Culture and VTSS.
Each of these new additions brings a fresh and unique sound to Sonus. They are all boundary pushing artists with their own take on house and techno, which is what Sonus has always been about. The Martinez Brothers bring fresh energy and a youthful New York style powered by drums. Margaret Dygas is a minimal mainstay who knows how to submerse with her selections. Vintage Culture is a breakout Brazilian with a warm, rich sound that has quickly won him fans and earned him plenty of top chart positions, while Poland’s VTSS has a no hold barred approach to techno that is seriously powerful.

In all, visitors from more than 70 countries will descend upon Sonus once again this year, and for that reason it is a real industry meeting point and scene celebration that brings out the best in everyone. The outstanding programme includes more than 50 artists from all across the underground spectrum with names like Carl Cox, Black Coffee, Paula Temple, Amelie Lens, Richie Hawtin, Michael Bibi, , Denis Sulta, FJAAK DJ, Âme,Dixon, Anfisa Letyago, Fisher, Sven Väth, IMOGEN, Seth Troxler, Ricardo Villalobos b2b Zip, Dax J and tens more all lined-up.

The music will play in the world renowned open air clubs of Aquarius, Kalypso, Noa and Papaya from dusk until dawn each day, with friendly and welcoming music lovers making the atmospheres at each event extra special.

As well as the music, of course, there is a wealth of local customs, cuisine and culture to explore. The location is stunning with sweeping beaches and glistening ocean, plenty of secluded bays and long coastal walks to enjoy.

Because of the ongoing uncertainty around the Coronavirus pandemic, Sonus wants to put customers at ease. As such, if you book with Sonus you are safe: even if the event gets cancelled the festival will refund tickets. There is also the option to do a booking protection when you book your tickets so you can even get money back in case you fall ill. Also there are payment plans available.
