Secretsundaze go from strength to strength in 2016, with their 15th year being one of their strongest years to date. After a hugely successful sell out birthday party just a week or so ago they can now reveal details of their annual Halloween party on Saturday 29th October.
To celebrate the 15th birthday of Secretsundaze, Boiler room has invited head honchos James Priestley and Giles Smith to stretch their legs with an extended b2b set in their London studio. Founded in 2002, secretsundaze continues to be one of the most authentic, relevant, consistent and non-compromising nightlife events in the capital and the resident duo have become a part of the fabric of London’s nightlife.

SECRETSUNDAZE 15TH BIRTHDAY DAY & NIGHT PARTY AT OVAL SPACE
To celebrate their 15 year milestone, Secretsundaze are throwing a birthday party on Bank Holiday Sunday August 28th, a very special extended day and night session which will take place at regular haunt Oval Space. The party will kick off at 2pm on the outdoor terrace where Secretsundaze residents will play a special freestyle set covering many bases.
Joining Secretsundaze on this special occasion and all playing extended 3 hours sets will be three of their favourite artists. Prosumer should need no introduction. Panorama Bar resident for many years and Ostgut Ton recording artist he is a self confessed Chicago house expert, cutting his teeth working in the legendary Hardwax store. Joining Prosumer will be another current Panorama Bar resident and regular Secretsundaze guest Nick Höppner. Nick is surely one of the most versatile residents at the much lauded Berlin institution, able to play everything from classic house to cutting edge UK sounds to the typical Berghain techno sound. Their third and final guest will be london hero and friend Jane Fitz. Jane has been doing what she does quietly for many years but it’s only in recent years she has gained the props she deserved for being one of London’s finest house and techno DJs.
To close the party, there will be a special one-off, never to be repeated again, 4 hour surprise b2b session which will serve as a perfect celebration of the club’s 15 year history. Tickets are available exclusively through Resident Advisor.
