Lineup
-
Daniel Avery
Still known as Stopmakingme when he first played the Weekender in 2013 Daniel Avery has since become an artist of stature in UK techno with his fourth solo artist album due this summer. He also found time to compile a book with the misnomer title Techno is Boring.
-
DJ Paulette
Bugged Out and Paulette were both partying and playing in Manchester back when we started in the mid 90s. She’s become an even bigger presence at festivals and club nights in recent times joining us at both of our huge Drumsheds events.
-
Dresden - Ivan Smagghe & Manfredas
Dresden is a party from long time Bugged Outer Smagghe and surname dodging Manfredas. They both share a love of psychedelic techno.
-
Emerald
Emerald’s star keeps ascending with her own Radio 1 residency starting in 2024 and recently launching her own Precious Stones label.
-
Erol Alkan
It wouldn’t be Bugged Out without Erol Alkan. 25 years out of our 30 have seen Erol play for us over 800 times. You know the drill!
-
HAAi
With her second album for Mute record due this year we can’t wait to welcome the unique HAAi to Butlin’s. She a keen table tennis player so we’ll no doubt meet her in the games room over the weekend.
-
Helena Hauff
Hamburg’s finest with several releases on Tresor under her leather belt. Expect 130bpm plus paced acid techno.
-
Jen Cardini
Parisian and now Berlin resident, Cardini has long championed proper tilted techno and warped house.
-
KiNK - Live
The Bulgarian techno producer is in a field of his own, his live shows are visceral as he shares his machines up close with the crowd (sometimes involving them), his energy as infectious as the music.
-
Optimo (Espacio)
Now in their 28th year Twitch and Wilkes’ genre bouncing ex-Sunday party has become a festival mainstay. Expect the unexpected (and then some).
-
Sean Johnston (ALFOS)
Sean and Andrew Weatherall started A Love From Outer Space to be An oasis of slowness in a world of increasing velocity as they pitch their tunes down to 122bpm or below.
