Considering we couldn’t put on a New Year’s Day party in 2021, we’re going full whack in FOLD to celebrate some of the names which have proved quintessential to UK club culture over the last decade. Die-hard Blawan fans will know that the sound of the Barnsley-born producer goes beyond analogue-driven techno and into the realms of experimental and broken beats, as well as the club-orientated cuts which he is now widely associated with. Undoubtedly one of the most captivating names to breakthrough in recent years, the TERNESC label boss couldn’t be more apt to start 2022 on a powerful note. The human definition of multi-talented, Madam X joins Blawan. The DJ, KAIZEN label head and resident on the airwaves of NTS, London and Movement Radio, Athens, Madam X is synonymous with bass, dubstep, breakbeat, techno and sometimes the downright bizarre; all pulled off with seamless blends and bubbling energy. Veering through a magnitude of genres, expect the London-based powerhouse to arrive armed with a full tank of 4/4, oddball and fiery rhythms. Otik comes from the Bristol school of dubstep and grime which, these days, he merges with techno, jungle and leftfield to invoke a maelstrom of glorious chaos on any given dancefloor. Throughout 2021, the London-based producer built his profile with stellar releases on 3024, Club Qu and BEAUTIFUL, with plenty more in the pipeline for next year.
