Birmingham rave night 02.31 explodes into 2017 with a customarily low end-heavy lineup of top selectors. Hailing from Marseille, the DJ/production duo and CUFF label bosses known as Amine Edge & Dance are the evening’s main event, acclaimed for their signature fusion of classic hip hop sounds with house. And in charge of the Blackbox for the first time is bassline junkie Flava D, whose mission it is to get the venue rocking and revellers skanking to a soundtrack of sub-bass wobbles and screeches. ‘Crack house’ creator DJ Zinc, London-based producer DJ Haus and idiosyncratic east midlander Murlo also star alongside Trudos, Zach Hamp and more.
