Drumcode Halloween streams live from Tobacco Dock

With the return of their monumental Halloween party this October at Tobacco Dock, Drumcode celebrates its 20th year by broadcasting the event live on Drumcode Radio.

Drumcode Halloween is back at Tobacco Dock on Saturday 29th October, marking its seventh year of debauchery. A spine-tingling lineup sees Drumcode’s most iconic artists, play alongside a host of special guests drawn from every end of the techno spectrum.

Label boss Adam Beyer is once more at the helm, alongside dancefloor powerhouses Alan Fitzpatrick and Ida Engberg who have been a defining part of the Drumcode Halloween experience. Nicole Moudaber also stars, along with LWE favourite Anja Schneider, Detroit’s finest Stacey Pullen and UK producer Reset Robot. For an incendiary live performance look no further than the UK’s Dense & Pika, as well as Berlin based duo Pan-Pot and fellow Berliner’s Marcel Fengler and Monika Kruse. Drumcode’s rising stars Sam Paganini and Marco Faraone join the Halloween tribe with their signature soundscapes and rolling bass, along with Kevin Over and Russian DJ Julia Govor, who steps up for her debut London show.

The Victorian majesty of Grade 1 listed Tobacco Dock will once more provide a stunning industrial backdrop, as haunting sets are woven into the rafters, zombies shapeshift through the walkways, and a very special crowd make the space their own with an array of costumes, characters, and styles. Intense, euphoric and hypnotic.

For the seventh year in a row the event has now completely sold out but those not lucky enough to get a ticket can tune into Drumcode Radio live from Relentless Studios as they broadcast direct from the ten thousand capacity sell out show, featuring interviews and exclusive access to all the action backstage as well as well as key performances from the Great Gallery, including Adam Beyer, Pan-Pot, Sam Paganini, Monika Kruse and Boxia. It’s going to be one hell of a party so be sure to tune in to the radio stream between 12:00 and 22:30 on Saturday 29th October and soundtrack your Saturday with some of techno's finest. Alchemical frequencies, subterranean sorcery and a roaring techno flame. Welcome to Drumcode Halloween.
