This Saturday the industry’s finest techno and house DJs congregate for one of the UK’s most jaw-dropping dance music events, Junction 2. Set amongst the harsh industrial overpass of the M4 motorway and the rolling wonders of Boston Manor Park, this one-dayer’s location is something to behold in itself. On site, LWE have gone all guns blazing to create five stages offering the most complete and diverse raving experience out there. An oppressive hangar-style warehouse hosts the likes of Chris Liebing, Alan Fitzpatrick, and Rodhad for an epic afternoon/evening of ominous and dark techno. There’s then two more tents put on by The Hydra (Daphni, DJ Koze…) and Sonus Festival (Joseph Capriati, Maceo Plex…), plus an additional wooded area. Then it’s the showstopper: the Drumcode Stage, set beneath the overhanging M4, with Adam Beyer, Ben Klock, and Tale of Us at the helm – in terms of stage design and production, it honestly doesn’t get any better. The list of names go on and on…
Personally, this was undoubtedly the highlight of last year’s music calendar. If you’re in town, then you know the drill!
