After its successful launch in the summer, Between The Cracks is back this Saturday. The venue will be announced nearer the time.

Heading up the DJs will be Scott Cooper, an established name in the breed of new producer DJs in the fidget house scene. He is a clear leader and innovator with numerous releases under his belt on labels such as Potty Mouth Music and Warehouse. He has already played in America and travelled extensively spreading his sound.

Luca C, probably better known as the guitarist in the Cazals, is an avid exponent of electronic dance music. His sets have a dark edge with a late night sound combining dark electro, skippy rhythms, on an almost minimal tip. After the Cazals’ huge chart success recently in Japan he is about to head back there and show them what he has in his DJ palette.

Warboy will be playing his usual energetic, dirty mix of wobbly basslines and fidget floor-stompers. His anthemic track London’s Getting Dirty has recently been signed to A New Hope Records, a label that has already managed to get into DJ Download’s Top Ten with their first release. The track will be released with new remixes in the Autumn.

Young star Ollie Rant will be dropping in from Bristol to play his broad and eclectic sounds spanning from garage to fidget, drum n bass to old skool. Anything goes with this experimental wizard.

When Warboy decided to launch Between The Cracks in late July, one of the hardest times of year to successfully launch any party in London, people said he must be mad. However, he and K-tron had already successfully launched All You Can Eat in January 2006 – three weeks into the New Year – another difficult time to launch anything. It just went to prove that if something is interesting enough and well executed then the seemingly impossible is within reach.

When BTC launched at The Macbeth in Hoxton people were queuing one out one in by midnight - a clear sign that they were up for something new. With over 450 people coming through the doors that night, and many more being turned away because the party had already reached capacity, the council turned up trying to pour water on the party revellers because the music was causing rumbles down the street. There was no stopping this crowd of party-harders though. They were determined to make the most of their chance to dance til 4am to some of the freshest, talented DJs emerging in the UK.

BTC is not aiming to replicate or even match the explosive impact of Warboy’s previous parties. It does promise though to find some of the most exciting DJs both inside and outside London to deliver dance music with fresh ideas that inspire the dancefloor. The current focus is picking up on the bass heavy sounds, such as fidget house, wobble, bassline, and all the mutant strains coming through that are so young they have yet to be classified.

The launch party’s menacing poster artwork of Cristiano Carotti’s Darth Vader figure asking ‘Where is the rainbow?’ set the tone for future art to be included at BTC events.

Neon Skullz will be showcasing work that starts to express the discontent that seems to prevail around the London post Nu Rave scene post. However, this is not depressing, Emo-styled, self-indulgence but a frank acknowledgement that for many people living both inside and outside London there is a dark cloud that hangs over their heads and it’s very unlikely to be filled with rainbow dreams when it bursts open.

Masumi Saito will be doing a special dance performance. Expect something bizarre and interesting.

This will be a night that offers the crowd an opportunity to party together and realise that they’re not alone in, what often feels like, a very lonely city. Who gives a shit when you can’t pay your rent? Who tries to understand when you question why you even bother? Who holds out a helping hand when you’re down on your luck? Who even notices when you’ve slipped Between The Cracks? We do - because we’re there too!
