About
First and foremost, Singularity UK is a London based collective who love raving, old skool UK dance music and the cultures that surround it! It’s this wonderful love-affair that’s fuelled them to put on over 80 conceptualised and boundary pushing nights for the past 7 years, always with the old skool at heart. Here are some examples of concept nights they’ve had fun putting on:
“Duplate Dealers” (all DJs play only test press/unreleased tunes on white label vinyl) or “Lessons from Above” (a 100% Northern/Midlands born lineup make the journey South to teach its inhabitants a lesson). Striking visuals and creative promotion have always been a core part of their brand.
Rooted in old skool UK Dance Music, their sound spans a lot of different genres including: Jungle, DNB, Hardcore, 4x4, Bassline, Acid and much more. The infusion of these sounds with modern sonic experimentation from the raw talent of the producers in their crew, is what makes Singularity nights a melting pot of new dubs, old skool classics and anything in between. It has to be bass heavy and get the body grooving.
This year, the crew’s focus has been to push sound system culture in the capital, something they feel is lacking there these days, especially in contrast to other cities like Bristol, where a sound system powered event is almost a given. In London, promoters often have to make do with in-house systems, which rarely ever cuts it.
They’ve also just recently launched their first festival: Ground Rules. This is the next step in their quest to put on exciting and fun parties where every aspect is considered. You’ll catch the crew front left in the dance, as close to the sound system as possible, dancing like crazy.
