Get Ready To Get Rabid… The Rabid Festival on Saturday 7th November (8pm-8am) is London’s first winter music festival. So while most people have nothing more to look forward to than a credit-crunch Christmas and the usual NYE clubbing rip-offs, you’ll be able to enjoy 5 rooms of music from the best underground promoters in London: Wet Yourself; Lost Souls; Ketoloco; Trailer Trash and DJ MAG. Why, it’s enough to leave you foaming at the mouth… The Rabid Festival sees top international DJs – including techno superstar Umek, Matthias Tanzmann (Moon Harbour Recordings / DC10), Andre Kraml (Kompakt) and Silversufer (Crosstown Rebels) – sharing the limelight with respected London talent like Hannah Holland & Mikki Most (Trailer Trash), FB Julian (Kubicle) and a huge cast of others, all at a secret South London location. Location details will be revealed in August, but there will be state-of-the-art sound and lighting, with Rabid’s indoor vibe meaning you’re safe from the elements and can actually hear the music as the noise police won’t be knocking!
Tickets for the Rabid Festival will cost £25 + BF (early bird) and then £35 + BF – great value compared to most summer events around. But for the Rabid Festival’s organisers, the Icona Group, partying is an all-year-round pastime.
We’ll let them explain: ‘London needs a winter festival – people don’t just want to party in the summer! What are they supposed to do the rest of the time?’
Wet Yourself promoter and Rabid Festival room host Mr Cormac agrees: Raving is an all year round past time! London is a fantastic city in that there are always incredible events and parties available throughout the year. Date-wise this is the perfect time to do a big party as it’s between summer and Christmas, and the rave family of London will be hungry for this incredible line-up!’
Big events and serious partying certainly don’t faze the Rabid Festival / Icona crew; they started promoting in Mexico, where most clubbing events are still massive outdoor parties for around 15, 000 people. In fact, the highpoint of their promotions career involved bringing the likes of Moby and Underworld to a crowd of 30, 000, at the Festival Xtremo in 2008.
But they’re fully aware of the unique circumstances of promoting in London: There are 30 or so 500 capacity events every Saturday night, as well as bigger clubs like Fabric and MOS, so people follow their favourite sound. But why shouldn’t people dip into the Wet Yourself room for a polysexual tech-house-electro binge, then head over to get minimal with Ketoloco, or just loose themselves in Lost Souls’ underground techno sounds? London has everything a clubber could want – we want the Rabid Festival to reflect that.’
*Watch out for the Rabid Festival pre-party on Saturday 31st October with Davide Squillace, plus the Rabid Festival / Lost Souls afterparty, which kicks off at 8am after the main event! Details of both to follow...*
