Inside brand new festival Project 6
In case you missed it, Project 6 is a brand new festival this summer in South London’s Brockwell Park that switches up the format and champions London’s vibrant club community, followed by a series of all-night parties at venues across the capital. The Project 6 stages will host a diverse lineup of the most innovative, game-changing artists and labels; a convergence of the very best in drum & bass, techno, hip hop, grime and everything in between.
As the sun sets over London, festival-goers can make their way to one of ten nighttime sessions featuring all-star action from some of London’s top promoters and a stellar programme that extends the party deep into the early hours on some of London’s best dance floors.
Project 6 have announced the full run down of their nighttime sessions featuring some of the finest acts in the business. Fabric will host a three-room takeover each curated by Channel Tres, P5NT0 (Skinny Macho) and Lauren Duffus. Meanwhile, an all-junglist affair at Village Underground with 23 Degrees will bring a dubstep edge of b2b sets by Sully, Tim Reaper, Coco Bryce and Dwarde. Calibre & Friends will stir things up at Venue MOT with an extended tasteful set alongside V.I.V.E.K. and Tasha. At Steel Yard, Flexout Audio will take over 30 years of classics with Fabio & Grooverider, Amoss, QZB and Charli Brix who recently launched her new album alongside others.
Alchemy will bring a sub-heavy session to Colour Factory featuring Fracture, DJ Storm, J: Kenzo and more. Lenzman’s label The North Quarter sees out a killer final session at Phonox.
But that’s not all, Outlook Festival calls on festival favourites and long-standing sound system stalwarts at Brixton Electric. DJ Shy FX will be presenting, a live set incorporating reggae anthems while spinning old classics. Other artists on the bill include Mala & Coki, Novelist, Plastician & Flowdan and Madam X. Set to be an unforgettable night of nostalgia and bass-heavy beats.
Project 6 will also support other South London hotspots including Tola, Hootananny and XOYO.
Recently, London’s nightlife has been hit by the cost of living crisis and soaring inflation rates. The impact has been felt by many clubs and music venues struggling to stay afloat. By working with these iconic venues Project 6 hopes to highlight the importance of London’s nightlife culture – and in doing so, extend their daytime party to unite music lovers and support local venues.
Team at Project 6 comment, “Project 6 has been created as a way to celebrate both the legenedary and the burgeoning talent that exists within London, and we wanted the festival to reach out further than the confines of the event itself on the day. Therefore we’ve partnered with several promoter and venue friends and a few new ones too, to create Project 6 Festival’s Nighttime Series, which we’re proud to announce in full today. The key Project 6 genres of Drum & Bass, Rap, Electronica and Dubstep will be explored across ten fanstastic nights that cover some of our favourite rave spots across the capital, including legendary venues such as Fabric, Electric Brixton, XOYO and Steelyard. We’re proud to have created ties with such esteemed brands for the inaugural edition of Project 6, and are definitely going to try and take in a bit of each show that night if we can. To choose one would be far too difficult…”
