The bar has well and truly been set and we can’t wait to do it all again on Saturday August 13th which just happens to be 2020 Vision’s 1st Birthday in London.

As always they’re providing Funktion1 Sound throughout, alongside 2020 VJs & full KSS lighting rigs, and as with all their Summer shows they’re starting extra early to make full use of the summer sun and Village Underground’s glorious skylit features. For this extra special show they’ve invited an array of talent that is sure to have both house and disco heads alike licking their lips with anticipation.

As ever, make sure you purchase your tickets early to avoid dissapointment as they are likely to sell out in advance, perhaps even earlier than normal this time with it being the 1st Birthday Show.

Ralph Lawson and Steve Bug took centre-stage at this 12-hour marathon

As we enter the ‘business-end’ of what has already been an enthralling year for the UK’s underground music scene, the abundance of fresh and eclectic sounds continue to break onto our air-waves and into some of London’s most exhilarating party venues.
With Bank Holidays in the Capital long renowned for bestowing adorned ravers with an exciting array of some of the World’s most endearing DJs, playing at some of the City’s most sought-after venues, the year’s record-breaking 6th Bank Holiday weekend proved no different.

On Sunday 29th May, a weekend dubbed by many as the ‘gateway’ to the summer’s clubbing season, East-London welcomed 2020 Vision Recordings into the nouveaux setting of Shoreditch underground tube station.
Headliners Ralph Lawson and Steve Bug took centre-stage at this 12-hour marathon, which lured a capacity crowd of 750 revellers into the terrace-style venue from 10am until 8pm…Playing host to just its second party since the station’s closure in June 2006, 2020 Vision’s label Boss and Berlin’s Poker Flat Recordings front-man, were flanked by none other than local boys Jozif and Ewan Pearson.

As the day drew on, the quintessence of the venue agreeably complimented the endless flow of spirited house music, and with its cutting-electro-funk-edge, the enjoyment of the day’s proceedings was unanimously apparent amongst a diverse crowd of young and old deep tech house aficionados.
Needless to say, 2020 Vision Recordings are more than accomplished in organising and delivering some of the industry’s most invigorating parties, and Guerilla Sounds will undoubtedly find themselves wholly immersed at their next such London event.

As for Shoreditch Underground, there are a further 10 parties planned to take-place here over this summer, so make sure you check-back to Guerilla Sounds and find out which infamous DJs will next be gracing the venue’s Funktion One sound system.
