RIPOSTE
Get ready to rumble. Riposte takes over Electrowerkz with a Fight Club theme, spreading across five rooms including two dancefloors and a literal boxing ring. The art-rave collective champions LGBTQIA+ artists and the more experimental side of queer nightlife, blending serious techno programming with live performances, market stalls, and a clothing exchange. Over nine hours, this isn't just dancing—it's a full sensory experience where art meets rave culture head-on.

SHERELLE
HERE
SHERELLE presents a raw, emotional performance that celebrates the dancefloor as a space of love and togetherness. Her sound spans jungle, drum 'n' bass, footwork and juke, drawing from foundational influences like Kode9 and Machinedrum while pushing high-speed dance music into new territory. After touring the world twice over and building a dedicated following through her SHERELLELAND nights, this night marks a new era for this artist. Expect fierce feminine energy and uptempo catharsis.

TECH COUTURE
Tech Couture closes out their year at FOLD, bringing all residents together under one roof for the first time alongside returning favourite Quelza. After twelve months of parties spanning Amsterdam to Burgess Park, the collective returns to their spiritual home for a night of groovy, sexy techno. Founders Bessie Armitage and Ollie Hajjar have built a reputation for colourful, inclusive parties and this edition is set to be emotional, sweaty, and SXC af—exactly how we like it.

BUGGED OUT MEETS TRESOR
Mancunian club night Bugged Out! and Berlin techno catalyst Tresor come together in this massive warehouse space. Leftfield headline with a live set, showcasing the pioneering acid-electro sound that broke British dance music from the underground in the 90s. IMOGEN brings dystopian electro, rumbling bass and choppy breaks honed through years in London's club culture, while OK Williams delivers high-energy, freeform selections blending bass, techno, jungle and house that highlight the diversity of Black dance music.

CRAKER
GALA and The Cause launch their first annual festive festival with CRACKER, a Christmas party that prioritises nostalgic nonsense over serious vibes. Themed rooms span from a Sue Veneers-hosted office party to Dalston Superstore's karaoke booth, plus an Irish pub and Eurotrash Après setup. But don't mistake the playful concept for lack of substance—rave remains central, with a carefully curated lineup from GALA, The Cause and Origins ensuring the music hits as hard as the festive production. Expect Santa's grotto, a traditional boozer, seasonal food and drink, plus all the absurd party energy you need to get in the festive pre pre Christmas mood.
