We Love… SW4

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

We’re very happy to announce the lineup for our arena at SW4 on Sunday 28th August in London’s Clapham Common.

Headlining the arena, Sasha makes a welcome return to the We Love fold. One of the undisputed kings of dance music, Sasha returns to SW4 having smashed last year’s Main Stage to pieces. He will be joined by Terrace icon Steve Lawler. A We Love party wouldn’t be complete without our residents Simian Mobile Disco and Joris Voorn. Simian make their long awaited SW4 debut this year, whilst Joris returns to the Common having played a storming set in John Digweed’s Bedrock arena in 2010. Completing the line-up we welcome Berlin’s Bpitch Control label boss Ellen Allien for her SW4 debut, alongside We Love favourites Technasia and Mat Playford.

We Love… Savana Potente – Die Musik Ist Kollektive Vorstellungswelt

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger to his friends) had to contend with not being the only famous son / daughter of Germany in Torino, Italy last weekend. In conjunction with our friends at Savana Potente; Ellen Allien, Marcel Dettmann and Ben Klock flew in from Berlin to sample local cuisine and indulge in a techno marathon taking place over two clubs in the historic city. Here is a taster of the film we’ve made of the night (and day) with some screen shots to whet your appetite…

Like all good nights in Italy, it began with fine food

Have a look at this short video created to promote the event online. The soundtrack is composed exclusively and originally by Jozif to complement the visuals. The musical brief was to make something that sounds like Star Trek on drugs yet is fluffy and acidic and with something four-to-the-floor for “the heads”.
