Bang The Box Bounces Back

• 20th Dec 2010

Bang the Box is Lovebox's occasional heavy-duty party, which pitches a fresh take on an inspiring hybrid of dance sounds. Bang The Box have held one-off underground dance parties since 2002 at various venues across London, such as The End, Bagleys, 93 Feet East and T-Bar, and will be kicking off the new year with two club events at XOYO / Shoreditch. For these two events, Bang the Box continues as a collaboration of friends and partners from around the globe, to deliver an uncompromising zest for breaking new acts alongside innovative local crews.

The parties will run on the first Saturday of February and March, marking a new era for the festival’s re-vamped Friday curated by Bang the Box.

For the first party at XOYO, the main room will be hosted by pioneering party starters Ed Banger Records, forming the London leg of their “Let the Children Techno” tour and compilation release, with DJ Mehdi and head honcho Busy P representing the legendary Parisian crew.

Leading the charge at the second party are Night Slugs; one of 2010's most celebrated labels. Currently riding high in FACT’s “Best Record Labels of 2010“ end of year chart and November's label of the month on Resident Advisor, they've previously released dance floor gems by Greena, Jam City and Girl Unit. With an on-the-pulse taste in grass-roots talent, which they regularly share on their Rinse FM show, Night Slugs will be joining Bang the Box on 5th March to showcase London's unique sound system heritage with a back to back DJ set from Bok Bok and L-Vis alongside Egyptrixx (Live).

Across both nights room 2 will feature Lovebox residents Hot Blood and the FACT DJs.
