You may remember us featuring Coloursound a few weeks ago, the new party season that has been causing a storm in both Leeds and Manchester, indeed every Coloursound event so far has sold out. As such the crew are going all out to celebrate the end of end term with a massive ‘We Love… Coloursound’ indoor festival on 3rd December at Leeds University Union. We Love… are of course one of the world’s leading club brands, their festival sized events pretty much own Space out in Ibiza each summer, and on tour they bring just as much heat, alongside having their own label, radio and TV show, all of which are revered in their own right.
On the night, there will be four different arenas of sound, with live performances and a festival styled vibe throughout, plus a very special extra huge additional headliner announced in the next week.
Already confirmed as headlining are quite simply one of the great live dance acts of all time… the awesome Groove Armada presenting Red Light. As a Live band they were legendary; The Red Light shows however open a new chapter. A four decks, multi F-X, audiovisual DJ experience rooted in the warehouse, delivered stadium style. Over the past decade, Groove Armada have become established as one of the planet’s most-loved and biggest selling dance acts. The duo, Tom Findlay and Andy Cato, have stormed the charts and headlined stages at the world’s biggest festivals. Then, in 2010, they redefined the GA sound. Black Light, their 6th studio album, achieved massive critical acclaim, and a year headlining festivals from Australia to Moscow ended in Los Angeles and a Grammy nomination.
Little needs be said of next guest Kenny Dope for his place in house history is assured after seminal releases on Defected, BBE and Strictly Rhythm and for being part of legendary house act Masters at Work who pretty much defined the scene in the early days. For something completely different there will also be a live show from d&b and breakbeat legend DJ Fresh. His ties to Adam F and various integral labels mean he is one of the most assured producers and performers in the game.
Next up is Heidi. Having secured a regular show on Radio 1, the Dutch DJ continues to showcase all manner of new and jacking house and tech on the airwaves, just as she does at her ‘Heidi Presents The Jackathon’ club events and on her recently released Get Physical compilation of the same name. Spinning in Berlin and London as well as Paris, Manchester, Amsterdam and many other cities around the world, she’s the current queen of the underground.
With a massive list of up and coming support acts also on the bill, fans of everything from breaks to d&b to electro via all forms of house and techno will be catered for
