The new underground house and techno brainchild of Luke Black makes its debut at the Rainbow Venues. Bringing promoters and brands from all over Europe together under one roof, Chord sets its sights on world domination right from the off, securing a headline slot from none other than minimal techno sorceress Magda, who will be playing her first show in the region in nine years. Joining Magda in the Warehouse is techno connoisseur Mathew Jonson – who, according to Black has “the rudest live set I have ever seen” – as well as cult favourite Jane Fitz. And it wouldn’t be a Rainbow night without the Blackbox and Roof Terrace also being open; Daniel Bell, Matthew Burton and co. are set to tear these more intimate spaces up with aplomb.
