Acid Techno

For anyone who has been to a Hydraulix event you wil know that we consistently try to push the boundaries of our beloved underground techno scene
Our mission is to combine our style with the club scene and create line ups that are different and inspiring, to try to bring different sides of the techno spectrum together.

Hydraulix has been running since 2010. Always in October to celebrate another year in techno for label boss D.A.V.E. The Drummer and Hydraulix records.
Our goal has always remained the same, good music, good vibes, underground line ups featuring artists from the label with some great special guests
To push the sound as far as we can.

This time we think we really excelled ourselves with a stellar line up of some of todays hottest talent combined with some outright legends of the scene.

Join us for a 2 room 12 hour party at London’s best small venue Fold.

Huge welcome to our special guests:

SLAM
(6 decks B2B)
(Soma)

The legendary SLAM from Glasgow pretty much kick started the UK techno scene with their classic “Positive Education” on their own SOMA imprint. Slam were also responsible for releasing the first Daft Punk 12” to an unsuspecting world. Thomas Bangalter slept on their sofa in the early days, it doesn’t get much more legendary than that.

We are absolutely over the moon that we managed to convince them to come and play for us. SLAM have had a steady stream of top notch releases on Soma, with support from DJs from all genres and age groups from their own dark dystopian techno to deeper more hypnotic tech, Slam bring their unique techno style to Hydraulix and to Fold for the first time.

We’ve been huge fans of Slam since their beginning and it’s an honour to have the boys from Glasgow play a 2 hour set for us.
