An essential date in the diary for any house and techno head, Eastern Electrics is always a stand-out party in the UK Festival calendar, and this summer’s edition is one of the strongest instalments yet. In true cheeky Eastern Electrics style, the EE family won’t be making it easy to find the forty plus names who’ll be joining them on Saturday 5th of August at their new London location, instead you’ll have to find them yourselves. To find out who the DJs, live acts and stage hosts are, you’ll need to match the artist names; once the artist matches it means they are playing at EE 2017. The #RevEEal game up at the Eastern Electrics website now, try your luck!

Eastern Electrics will transform new London home (to be announced very soon) into a fantastical playground spanning seven stage areas, all soundtracked by the crème de la crème from the house, techno, disco, bass and garage worlds. This year the icon, the legend, the don Carl Cox headlines the EE Main Stage; a face who has shaped the electronic underground for over two decades working with institutions like Space Ibiza and Privilege. Prolific duo Âme (DJ) are also set for the main stage, along with Do Not Sleep head honcho Darius Syrossian and new school tech head Nick Curly. Finishing off the bill are dream team house duo Waze & Odyssey and Alexis Raphael.  

Eastern Electrics’ much loved Switchyard arena hands over controls to Hot Since 82 this year, who’ll bring his Knee Deep In Sound team to the industrial themed stage. As well as an anticipated set from the man himself, he’ll be joined by revered Italian duo Mind Against, a breakout success story of recent years. Plus, Desolat affiliate and craftsmanGuti plays live, joined by Numbers’ poster boy Denis Sulta, and Deep House mainstaySerge Devant. 

Skream makes a welcome return as an Eastern Electrics stage host, taking over The Bigger Top with an all-star cast in tow. Skream has evolved to be one of the most important British artists across the last decade, from his early days as a dubstep pioneer to his recent explorations of the house ilk. Helping Skream hold it down is Defected affiliate Dennis Ferrer, Watergate resident and Hot Creations / Rekids artist Butch, plus Glasgow selector squad Jon José & Celino. There’ll be some very special guests too – keep your eyes peeled.

This years Big Top is hosted by returning crew, Viva Warriors. Punters can see Steve Lawler, Art Department and Denny journeying through deeper house and tech. Also stepping up is newcomer Elliot Adamson, a producer who has shot into the public eye since working with Patrick Topping. Warriors resident Jamie Roy is also on board, a name with releases on Skream’s Ofunsoundmind imprint and 8Bit, plus trio Wax on Mare Street who’ll present sleazy disco explorations. 

Making an EE debut is revered institution Defected, the London label who have grown into global club brand with their solid output, epic parties and much-loved artists. For their first EE stage, they’ve recruited a set of label pals; with first lady of Defected Sam Divine set to lay down some funky-filled house jams, plus favourite Sonny Fodera and Kings of Tomorrow member Sandy Rivera all on. Hotly-tipped producers Emanuel Satie, aficionado Franky Rizardo and Italy’s Dario D’attIs are another few names representing for the Defected camp. 

‘The Star of EE Pub’ will be hosted by premiere London radio station; Rinse FM, who’ll take a darker stance with bass, grime and garage. Find sets from Bristol bass boys My Nu Leng, with twisted garage and bad boy bass. There’s a rare set from OG’s Heartless Crew (HEARTLESS!) with an old-skool flow that’ll get everyone hyped. Pirate radio don and king selector Oneman, grime favourite Sir Spyro, station associates Barely Legaland Sian Anderson are all set to play too. Finally, the VIP area plays host to a nostalgic ’30 Years Of Acid House’ theme, with a killer bill of veteran selectors, including acid pioneer DJ Pierre, proper house promoter Stuart Patterson, Terry Farley, Clive Henryand Back2Basics’ boss Dave Beer. 

Fairground rides, street food, glitter girls, dress-up tents and much more on-site madness will be part of Eastern Electrics’ festivities this year, adding another dimension to the big day out. It’s a chance for ravers to lose themselves in a playground for big kids, letting go for a day of debauchery. Since their early warehouse roots, EE have grown into a UK clubbing mainstay, known for their sense of fun, and no holds barred attitude. Now in a brand new location to be revealed very soon, EE is the perfect summer day out for those wanting some extra summer fun. With a small amount of tickets at just £29.50 and VIP tickets from just £49.50, it’s a day out that won’t break the bank too. With easy access from all London train stations and plenty of accommodation nearby, it’s an easy journey for any out of towers too.
