Saturday 28th May

Black Atlantic Present Moodymann and Joy Orbison
Having hosted Juan Atkins in March and Sherard Ingram in April, Black Atlantic continues its ongoing ode to Detroit with a hotly anticipated appearance from originator Kenny Dixon Jnr, aka Moodymann, of Carl Craig's legendary Planet E label. KDJ brings his trademark funk and soul-inflected house to a London warehouse this May for a set aficionados will not miss lightly. Appearing alongside is UK Bass darling and Doldrums Records boss Joy Orbison, who is now taking things in a housey direction himself – with infectious consequences. This night promises to combine a history lesson with a forecast of the future of the house sound, set in the type of surrounds within which it was surely designed to be heard. Black Atlantic continues to straddle the ocean of their namesake with laudable aplomb...

Sunday May 29th
2020 Vision Bank Holiday Special
2020Vision return to Village Underground after last year's snow-filled Tensnake shindig with a line-up of some of the best up and coming talent the house scene has to offer. Two names that have got the Spoonfed HQ in a tizzy over the last year are Maya Jane Coles and Jozif, who are both appearing. Nevermind ones to watch for the future, you're eyes and ears should be firmly locked on them already. 2020 boys Simon Baker, Ralph Lawson, Danny Raper and Ewan Pearson will all be strutting their stuff on the night, as well as the hugely talented and well respected Mark E. Sometimes you can't recommend a party enough.

Sunday 29th May
Eastern Electrics 
Bloc, mulletover and Benji B's Deviation are in charge at this May Bank Holiday's Eastern Electrics. Always brilliant, they line-up announcements just keep on coming. They've only gone and added Lone to the Bloc room - plus legends of Chicago house Virgo to Benji B's Deviation room. This edition also boasts techno overlord James Holden and man of bass brilliance Martyn in the Bloc room, DJ Koze heading up mulletover and Loefah, Actress and Braiden in the Deviation room. Better and better.
