Desperados and UKF launch the City Hack parties

Over the Bank Holiday weekend Desperados and UKF's City Hack project brought P Money, Plastician, Dillinja, Mumdance and more to parties in Bristol, Manchester and London. 

City Hack was launched earlier this year to give young creatives the opportunity to develop a brand within a UK city through a series of tasks in order to get their home-towns to take notice. 

Challenge one saw the three teams create a video to showcase what their brand was all about, and then challenge two was based around a stunt within their city. They were then faced with the final task of throwing a party in a unique space within their respective cities (watch the results above). 

Manchester's crew Rain City Movement event was the first one of its kind in Projekts skatepark and was soundtracked by the likes of Matrix & Futurebound, Dillinja and Fred V vs Grafix. 

Bristol's Shifted Spaces focused on the visual impact with a live LED ceiling, with GoPro cameras capturing the ravers underneath and then feeding it onto the screen above. It was first time that had ever been used in Bristol.

London team The Big Smoke took over the Round Chapel with projection mapped visuals and had Jammz down to perform with Plastician their City Hack track 'London Living' which has received airplay on Radio 1Xtra. 

The final challenge is Hack The Bill which will see all the teams go head to head with themselves and with Sub Focus to win over a crowd in London's Building 6. Head here for more info.
