Techno don Dave Clarke, dubbed ‘Baron Of Techno’ by John Peel, headlines this very special event — the former Brighton resident consults for both the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) and BMC, and remains one of Europe’s biggest DJs. He’s supported by Hypercolour hotshot Tom Demac; Ralf Kollmann from Berlin techno-house label Mobilee; techno gal DJ Rebekah, from Chris Liebing’s CLR imprint; and party legend Dave Beer of Back To Basics fame. And that’s just for starters…

You would be hard pushed to find a more in-form, in-demand, exceptionally talented artist than Steve Lawler, regarded as highly by his industry peers as he is by his huge global base of musically educated fans. Dynamic, driven and drastically obsessed with performing as well as he possibly can Steveʼs passion for House, Techno and Electronica is too strong for one simple generic association, and right now his message is louder than ever.
