Bristol’s InMotion announce The Chemical Brothers, elrow, Hunee, Ben UFO, Chase and Status, Heidi, Skream and many more
As Motion prepares to enter the next chapter of the In:Motion series, we can announce more huge names, including a slew of very special Bristol exclusives and some dazzling surprises in store.
On Friday 1st December we begin with BuggedOut! As one of the UK's longest running club events, BuggedOut! has firmly left its stamp on nightlife culture. It traces back to the halcyon days of UK rave, during which they developed a longstanding relationship with The Chemical Brothers, hosting some of their earliest shows. With a close link to Bristol and Motion's head promoter Jack Scales, BuggedOut! will now bring The Chemical Brothers to Motion, where the seminal UK duo will make a rare Bristol appearance with their glorious DJ set. One of dance music's greatest, The Chemical Brothers have challenged the possibilities for electronic acts, creating some of the most spectacular experiences in the industry. As such we're thrilled to be hosting an act of this calibre and welcome them to the club for the first time – sure to be one of the most propulsive and electrifying moments of the series.
They are joined by more UK dance music institutions and those who represent the adventurous spirit of electronic music, including Trash icon Erol Alkan, esteemed Bugged Out resident Lemmy Ashton and The Chemical Brothers' warm up DJ of choice, Nathan Detroit. Artwork will be making you feel right at home with the house party-influenced Art's House. As a larger-than-life character who's been lighting up dance floors worldwide for decades now, the man knows how to throw a party, and he welcomes you into the fold of his raucous get-together alongside ascendent Glaswegian DJ Jasper James and Rhythm Sister's Jess Farley.
Starting out as a stage at Miami's Ultra festival in 2015, Resistance has since taken on a life of its own with events on every continent and a successful 8 weeks at Privilege in Ibiza this summer, with Sasha and Digweed their residents. On Saturday 2nd December the brand comes to Bristol as a stop on its colossal world tour, bringing with it four heavyweight DJs. Chunky house juggernaut Eats Everything makes another triumphant return to the club, as well as the pioneering veteran and resident DJ John Digweed, Matador, the unstoppable Dublin DJ who's a staple of Richie Hawtin's Minus label, and the globetrottingPaco Osuna, one of the most consistently in-demand DJs in the industry.
On Friday 8th December we welcome London tech house titans ABODE to Bristol for another exclusive debut. The London promoters, who made a name for themselves hosting sell out Sunday day parties, will soon be announcing a selection of very special guests as well as their renowned crew of residents. Watch this space – this one will be big.
We then join forces once more with Bristol-based tastemakers Crack Magazine on Saturday 9th December. With this storming line-up, they host a selection of some of the world's most sought after DJs. A set from the inimitable Ben UFO is sure to reach celestial heights as he returns to the club after two years. Detroit original and one of the most charismatic DJs to ever do it, Moodymann will also return to the club – Grey Goose at the ready. Joining these two beloved DJs are Hunee, whose soaring house and disco is sure to get bodies moving, the dark depths of Hamburg's finest, Helena Hauff, Panorama Bar resident Tama Sumo, the dusty house and Afro excursions of Palms Trax, Studio 89's Mr Price, and Housework residents Gramrcy and Daisy Moon. Overmono, the collaboration between two brothers, Truss and Tessela, who are some of the most vital producers in the UK underground, will also DJ.
Another Bristol In:Motion debut arrives on Saturday 16th December with Amsterdam clubbing institutionSTRAF_WERK taking over, also renowned for their innovative DGTL festival brand. They host a heavy hitting lineup which is headlined by a rare extended b2b from Richy Ahmed and Patrick Topping, and the rest of the line-up doesn't let up, with one of our favourite live music masters KiNK bringing his array of machines, Jackathon head honcho Heidi, Amsterdam and STRAF_WERK Luk van Dijk and Motion resident Em Williams. Expect wild scenes when Skream takes control with a special all night long set – a journey through the various influences and styles that have continually kept him at the vanguard of dance music. Meanwhile, there's even more sublime house and techno, as Kompakt duo Blond:ish, Bristol's own Waifs and Strays, Amsterdam's ANOTR duo and upcoming producer to watch Wouter S will keep things bouncing.
This year we invite you once again to dance off your Christmas dinner at our special Boxing Day event on Tuesday 26th December, where The Blast come through with festive cheer and thrilling, hi-octane sounds. As we've come to expect from The Blast, there's some serious heat among the line-up. Expect mass euphoria when Chase and Status DJ alongside MC Rage, while UK garage soundsystem Heartless Crewbring their infectious energy. There's also epic drum and bass from Dimension, rising Nottingham producer Darkzy, breakthrough drum and bass sensation Mollie Collins and The Blast resident TS2W. Bristol mainstay Sam Binga, Voltage, Nastee Boi and The Blast DJs will also be on hand to tear through the remnants of the holiday season.
Lastly but definitely not leastly, we can announce that In:Motion's New Years Eve event will be presented by global superbrand elrow, who will be transforming the whole Motion complex into a Toontown Farmyard, with elrow mascot Rowgelia taking centre stage at her own theme From Lost To The River! Together with her rowdy bunch of farm friends, Rowgelia alongside twin sister Rowberta will unleash an explosion of farmyard fun to see us into the new year, full of interactive performers and crazy production. That's all we can announce for now, but given the scale of the mammoth event series' past extravaganzas and huge lineups, this is sure to be something special – bringing Motion to life in glorious technicolour for the start of 2018!
Pre-sale tickets are available from 10am on Wednesday 27th September, with General Release Tickets on sale from 10am on Thursday 28th September via www.bristolinmotion.com
