Essential outdoor dance brand, Under, returns to its unique home under the Nene Parkway Flyover in Peterborough this August with another epic two-day rave. Two of the hottest names in house music, East End Dubs and SOSA, will headline on Saturday 17th August hosted by trusted event brand Mixology, while Sunday 18th August sees the return of BBC Radio 1 DJ, Charlie Tee with her Unitee drum ‘n’ bass club brand, headlined by legend of the scene, Shy FX. Powered by a Funktion-One sound system and attracting thousands of clubbers at a remarkable setting under the bridge, complete with large-scale graffiti murals, daytime urban clubbing doesn’t get more underground than this. Tickets are available now from £24.95 from www.under.events.
Since its inception as a one-day event three years ago, Under has morphed into a vital dance event that rivals any UK production of its size. Under has staged some of the world’s best DJs at its iconic location, including Sub Focus, Hedex, Richy Ahmed, Hannah Wants, Roger Sanchez, Sam Divine, Bou, K Motionz, Darius Syrossian, Solardo and Skream, while at the same time, priding itself on giving local DJ talent a platform to perform.
Following a mega three-day May Bank Holiday bash – which saw an on-stage marriage proposal orchestrated by Charlie Tee – the Under crew are ready to do it again. Saturday 17th August is staged by the revered east of England club promoter, Mixology, which for years has attracted world-class DJs to Peterborough, from Bicep through to Danny Howard. For the August party, it lines up the cultured selector East End Dubs, who’ll keep crowds locked in with his stripped-back, distinctive grooves from the worlds of house, garage and tech.
The Eastenderz label boss and TRMNL regular will be complimented by the hypnotic grooves of SOSA. SOSA’s signature minimal-tech productions have picked up support from key tastemakers such as The Martinez Brothers, Camelphat and PAWSA. From remixing Solardo & Eli Brown’s hit record ‘XTC’, to signing to The Martinez Brother’s imprint Cuttin Headz and Jamie Jones’ legendary Hottrax label, SOSA is a pioneer of all things minimal and is ready to take crowds on a journey at Under.
Sunday 18th August is hosted by Unitee events, founded by Radio 1 Drum ‘n’ Bass show presenter, Charlie Tee. The self-confessed music nerd represents everything special about the new wave of inclusive energy exploding in dance music culture right now, and who better to showcase where it all started than the ‘Original Nuttah’, Shy FX. From scoring several UK crossover hits including ‘Shake Your Body’ to maintaining his underground credibility with tracks such as ‘Bye Bye Bye’ featuring Chronixx, few jungle and drum 'n' bass artists have successfully straddled both ends of the spectrum, like Shy FX.
The setting of these events beneath the Nene Parkway Flyover makes for no ordinary clubbing experience. It’s the unique surroundings of the event that give it its special vibe; the juxtaposition of concrete and industrial wasteland with the beautiful, scenic landscape of the River Nene and Nene Park off in the distance. And with the giant graffiti murals of the headline DJs - which tower the height of the bridge - painted by the region’s most reputable artists, JXC, Nathan “Nyces” Murdoch, Gnasher Mural and Hero 32, as well as a huge mural by the infamous Helch, makes Under a true celebration of urban clubbing.
Various tickets are available from day and weekend passes to VIP and discounted group packages. Starting from £24.95 for a day ticket and £59.95 for a weekend ticket, Under is serious value for money. And situated just 45 minutes from London Kings Cross, ravers can arrive in less time than it takes to watch an episode of The Gentleman.
Running from 12 midday until 10pm, and with a ton of talent yet to be announced, the August Weekender of Under is already shaping up to be one of the most in-demand daytime club tickets this summer.
