dissolve presents: mutation

mutation - a meaningful change in an organism, or the changed organism itself...

...it is well known that radiation can lead to mutation

In its youth, expanding across borders and subcultures, acid house was freed from constraints, allowing it to explore new forms. It was this radiation that spawned our most beloved genre: techno.

Following in those footsteps, we’re excited to offer something a little different with this second event. Inspired by traditions from Berlin, we aim to bring together a dance floor which places self-expression and experimentation at its heart, bound together in collective catharsis by loud, mesmeric techno. Everyone is welcome, dancing with the wildest abandon is encouraged and no outfit is too much (or too little). In the same vein, you can expect longer sets, darker rooms and music with harder edges and deeper depths. Unlike in Berlin, we won’t be turning anyone away at the door… if you arrive ready to let loose and respect other dancers, our answer will always be “Ja!”.

Alongside dissolve residents, music will be curated by new friends. Welcoming Rosie Glow, hailing from Manchester, all round queen and orchestrator of HERA, and the guiding hand that brought our very own FloState into being. Stoking the furnaces early doors, we're also excited to present selections by OITAA. Rescued by the Sheffield scene from the clutches of DnB, OITAA has amassed a well-rounded and varied collection we're looking forward to hearing some of in this debut set.
