Swivel - London's future garage night

The UK's resurgent UKG/two-step/future garage movement is getting another shot in the arm with the arrival of London's first true future garage night - Swivel. Like our own more nostalgia-tinged night Days Like That parties, Swivel will take place in Dalston's den of rave the Russian Bar and begins its journey on Sunday 30th May with a line-up that will get heads from all ends absolutely hype. Two-step futurist Spatial headlines alongside Maddness from the legendary mid-'90s outfit KMA Productions - an act that straddled the lines of soulful two-step, deep jungle and dubby 'ardkor like no other in history.

Essentially, though, Swivel is a label night for Whistla's definitive future garage label LS2 Recordings - a label that has been taking the best elements of classic UKG and pushing them into the future they never quite realised first time round.
