The Rainbow Venues’ mid-year house and techno centrepiece returns for its thirteenth installment with twelve hours of pumping tunes and pulsating basslines. Outside, Jamie Jones, Dubfire and Richy Ahmed take over the car park while techno titans Adam Beyer and Joseph Capriati set the Arena alight. In the Warehouse, Mixmag DJ of the Year The Black Madonna performs alongside Midland as a four-hour deep house marathon courtesy of French trio Apollonia races on up in the Roof Garden. And somewhere within the Rainbow complex, party brand Portal unleashes a devastating sonic attack on a secret warehouse venue. Eschewing the gimmicks for a no-nonsense, non-stop afternoon of thumping bass beats and techno treats, this is one to put in your diary sooner rather than later. It’d be foolish to make other plans.
