The promotion teams bringing funk to the UK club scene

According to Greek mythology, the Hydra is an aquatic serpent beast with multiple heads. To Londoners, however, thanks to Broken & Uneven, it’s become a different beast entirely — one made up not of reptilian heads, but 11 different top-class dance events running until New Year’s Eve.
Its launch — on Friday 24th August with an Ostgut Ton showcase featuring Marcel Dettmann, Marcel Fengler and label boss Nick Hoppner at a secret East London location — was a fitting way to open, considering Electric Minds’ Dolan Bergin and We Fear Silence’s Ajay Jayaram first crossed paths when Dolan brought the label to Cable in August 2011, when Ajay was a director at the club. Shortly after came Broken & Uneven; a London-based party that would serve as “…a vehicle with which to promote the music we love, across a wide-ranging spectrum of styles and genres,” Dolan tells DJ Mag.

The promoters bringing funk to the UK club scene

Despite struggling to gain a meaningful foothold in an over-saturated clubbing circuit during its first 12 months, Motek is making moves to become one of the capital's leading forces.

Where does a string of venue closures leave the capital?

The abrupt news of the closure of London's Cable at the hand of Network Rail repossession and plans for redevelopment sent shockwaves across the capital this May.
