It is with great pleasure that we today announce the first acts to be confirmed for the Bugged Out Weekender 2015. Âme, Daniel Avery, Erol Alkan, Jackmaster, Jonas Rathsman, Maya Jane Coles and Shadow Child will all be playing at the event, which,
Bugged Out wouldn’t be Bugged Out without an appearance from the aforementioned Erol Alkan who has, over the years, become part of the furniture (as has Alan the Dancing Misanthrope who appears at every Erol Alkan gig) and (no doubt both) will return once again to the club which launched his career all those years ago.
Bugged Out are delighted to welcome back Maya Jane Coles for her third Weekender, the London producer is at the top of her game off the back of her debut album ‘Comfort’ and remixes for Tiga and Booka Shade - Maya will sit on the line up alongside Food Music boss and In New Music We Trust DJ, Shadow Child, and Swedish producer, French Express producer and one of Pete Tong’s ‘future stars’ Jonas Rathsman, as well as much loved Bugged Out regulars Dusky who proved a highlight at last year's event.
The Bugged Out Weekender has become something of a staple in the dance music fan’s calendar. The previous sold-out years have provided some exceptional moments with both dance music’s freshest and most established talent. From Route 94 dropping his number 1 record Your Love (the hour it went to number 1) to a dance-floor packed full of fans who sung the song back to the producer, to The Chemical Brothers blowing the roof off with their extra special set in in 2013 and the 2 Bears getting an entire swimming pool of people dancing at the pool party last year – Bugged Out Weekender is the dance music event of the year.
Throughout this year, Bugged Out, one of the UK’s most enduring, influential club nights, continue to celebrate their 20 year anniversary – an enormous accomplishment and an epic journey marked with some truly memorable moments. It has, over this time, become something of clubbing phenomenon. Evolving out of dance music institution Jockey Slut magazine (RIP) in 1994 at Sankeys Soap in Manchester where the likes of Daft Punk, Richie Hawtin and the Chemical Brothers played early shows. Since then Bugged Out has thrown regular parties in London, Liverpool, Ibiza, Milan, Barcelona and continues to act as a habitual destination for fans of cutting edge dance music.
