No Sleep Festival is set to return to the gargantuan warehouse set by the Danube at the Port of Belgrade on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th November.. The final line-up is now revealed with fabric London and Bicep, Mind Against, Terry Francis, Anna Wall and Anastasia Kristiansen joining Amelie Lens and more in Serbia.
Having presented its musical outlook at Petrovaradin Fortress last summer, London club fabric is set to return for the second edition of No Sleep Festival. One of the world’s leading clubs and a symbol of London’s nightlife, fabric celebrates its 20th anniversary in Belgrade with a programme is led by Bicep, the Belfast-born duo, whose eponymous LP from 2017 found acclaim from all corners of the electronic music world.
While last year saw the pair touring the world to present their celebrated live show, currently Andy Ferguson and Matt McBriar are returning to their roots behind the decks. The bouncy grooves of Chicago house and the electrifying energy of old school Detroit techno, mixed with the ravers’ favourite British acid-house, plus many more styles and influences including their own euphoric dancefloor-ready productions, have made Bicep’s DJ performances a unique experience on the global circuit.
fabric brings XX tour to No Sleep Festival 2019
To join what’s surely set to be one of Belgrade’s parties of the year, fabric and the EXIT team have invited another of electronic music’s top duos, Mind Against. The Italian pair have dropped a series of killer tracks on labels like Life And Death, Afterlife, Cocoon and Hotflush, many of which have been played by house and techno’s top hitters. Having played around the globe, Alessandro and Federico Fognini are set to come to Belgrade with a new set and material due for release next spring.
Also joining the bill is one of techno’s most promising stars on the rise, Anastasia Kristensen. The Danish artist returns to Serbia after debuting at EXIT in 2018, bringing the dynamic, high-energy sound that’s brought her attention across electronic music’s entire playing field. As well as landing at a number of major festivals, she’s released a number of fierce club tracks, including remixes on fabric’s sister label, Houndstooth. It’s hard to imagine an anniversary party without fabric’s resident DJs, and for their upcoming takeover, they bring Terry Francis, who’s been responsible for commanding the club’s DJ booths for the last two decades.
He’s flanked by London selector Anna Wall, who leads the next generation of fabric’s residents. This team of artists join us to represent the sound of the London institution, telling the story of the club’s unparalleled contribution to electronic music over the last 20 years.
