Venue: The Arches
Date: Friday 26th November
It’s Pressure’s 12th birthday, and to prove the techno never stops, they’ve booked Paco Osuna, Mathew Jonson, Ivan Smagghe, Heidi, Jackmaster, and Sunday Circus to jam-pack the Arches with quality house, electro and techno beats. If you somehow develop the ability to be on two dancefloors at once, tell me how all their sets went, because you pretty much don’t want to miss one! Slam play a special set to mark the date in history by taking the crowd on a 12 year journey of music.
