Platform 11, Pontypridd
Sat 28 July
It’s not often you get internationally acclaimed DJs being hosted in Wales outside the capital, but the announcement of Secondcity in Pontypridd is a gem of an event bang in the middle of festival season. Secondcity crosses of the boundaries of techno and house regularly, where his later material explores basslines of funk with carnival overtones. Bursting onto the scene with his four-track EP The Story, the single that gave Secondcity a name in underground dance was his following single I Enter in 2013. Since, he has topped the UK singles chart with I Wanna Feel.
Secondcity has retained some of the most prestigious residencies in dance, including an ABODE run in Sankeys, Ibiza. Having packed out legendary venues such as Ushuaia, having him touch down in Wales is something not to be missed. Born in the UK, but raised in Chicago, he’s a producer that combines the dance trends across the Atlantic so vibrantly.
Platform 11 has been curating a sensational series of events, and the 016 instalment promises an enormous 12-hour event, opening at 4pm and running until 4am. With further residents to be confirmed, you can revel in both the indoor and outdoor dance spaces ‘til the early hours.
Tickets: £12. Info: www.platform11.co.uk (FRJ)
