Coloursound season one is well underway, with every event so far sold out. So by popular demand, the team are going all out to celebrate the end of end term with a massive We Love… Coloursound Indoor Festival on 3rd December at Leeds University Union.
The night see live performers and DJs performing across four stages, giving the event a real festival styled vibe to resemble We Love…'s weekly festival sized events at Space in Ibiza. With acts including Groove Armada, Kenny Dope, Heidi and a HUGE headliner to be announced next week, it's looking like one helluva night.
Headlining is quite simply one of the great live dance acts of all time… the awesome Groove Armada present their Red Light. As a Live band they were legendary; The Red Light shows though open a new chapter. A four decks, multi F-X, audiovisual DJ experience rooted in the warehouse, delivered stadium style. Over the past decade, Groove Armada have become established as one of the planet's most-loved and biggest selling dance acts.
Little need be said of next guest Kenny Dope for his place in house history is assured after seminal releases on Defected, BBE and Strictly Rhythm and for being part of legendary house act Masters at Work who pretty much defined the scene in the early days.
For something completely different meanwhile there will be a live show from d&b and breakbeat legend DJ Fresh. His ties to Adam F and various integral labels mean he is one of the most assured producers and performers in the game.
If anyone is deserving of the oft over used title of tastemaker, it’s surely Heidi Van Den Amstel aka Heidi. Having secured a regular show on Radio 1, the Dutch DJ continues to showcase all manner of new and jacking house and tech on the airwaves, just as she does at her Heidi Presents The Jackathon club events and on her recently release Get Physical compilation of the same name.
Also on will be Ministry of Sound act J Magik & Wickaman, Ram records’ DC Breaks, Italo disco and house duo Serge Santiago and Tom Neville aka Retro/Grade of Sony and Deconstruction association, breakthrough disco house crew Waifs & Strays of Hot Creations and Furtureboogie and VIVa’s leading tech house propend and local lad Darius Syrossian – also a Coloursound resident as is Cera Alba from Hot Creations who also plays. What that means is that fans of everything from breaks to d&b to electro via all forms of house and techno will be catered for.
