Red Bull Revolutions In Sound
Tonight (Thursday 14th November) will see Red Bull Revolutions in Sound finally take to the skies, with a UK Club takeover of the EDF Energy London Eye. 30 capsules gigs will bear witness to performances, whilst in rotation, from the likes of Lily Allen, Richie Hawtin, Katy B, Rudimental (DJ set), Sasha, Mike Pickering, Skream and Boy Better Know to name but a few. The final line-up, a roll call for clubland's legends and luminaries, includes over 100 DJs and MCs, eleven dancers, five singers and two conga drummers.
The night not only celebrates UK music history but writes it too: A world first in live streaming, all 30 capsules will be broadcast simultaneously on the web (on Channel4.com in the UK, and globally via Red Bull Music's YouTube channel). The individual streams, which allow fans the world over to be part of the celebration, provide a snapshot of some of the most influential club nights that, together, have shaped the nation's musically rich club culture over the past four decades.
Bringing their unique sounds and musical pedigree to the already formidable talent list Glasgow's Sub Club( one of our favourite clubs in the UK) step up with residents Harri and Domenic alongside the legendary Derrick Carter, Bristol house savant Julio Bashmore steps in to represent the Warehouse Project capsule, whilst Numbers man Jackmaster, Juke-Dubstep Trailblazer Girl Unit and seminal Streatham producer Oneman join Boiler Room's, alongside Night Slugs' Bok Bok and Lil Silva, and Swamp81 crew's MC Chunky. Heading up the Metro capsule, London indie imprint Young Turks presents Friends & Family including Mercury-winning Jamie XX, Red Bull Music Academy participant Koreless plus a live set by Pional. Elsewhere, sleazy-disco swilling duo Bicep and Cologne-based Ava Records founder Damiano von Erckert join Corsica Studios' unit, while the Sidewinder capsule welcomes grime honcho DJ Slimzee, Blive and Viper. The Hydra touts Ibiza terrace mainstay Paul Woolford vs Special Request whilst CJ Beatz and Majestic join Channel 4 House Party. At ground-level on the South Bank, party-starting duo The 2 Bears and Queen of jacking Heidi weigh in for the 2000-capacity silent disco, joining previously announced Felix Da Housecat and Ashley Beedle.
