Saturday highlights the vibrancy of electronic music in the UK today, zeroing in on Club music. Electronic music has never been so diverse & dynamic. Harder, faster, more political; it soundtracks the UK’s most radical spaces for reasons that reach beyond the dance floor. With Saturday’s line up ranging from Detroit mainstay DJ Stingray to Boiler Room’s own breakthrough artist Sherelle, Boiler Room Festival will be celebrating the DJs & crews who are pushing club culture forward, and re-shaping the sound of house and techno.
