K90 heats up the floor for Spangulation!
Friday 24 April 22:00 - 06:00


The Spangulation crew is unstoppable. Not only have they been running thumping nights for over six years, but they are also one of the only club nights keeping the euphoric sound of trance alive today. And on Friday, 24 April, they have planned a night that will shake every clubber’s heart and soul. The legendary K90 will share the decks with residents Steve Hitch and Pathfinder, and Essential Records’ Jessica B. Each DJ has been granted an exclusive 2-hour set – guaranteeing specially crafted sets throughout the night.

K90 needs no introduction. With his energetic sets and chart-topping productions he has fired up many dance floors all over the world. The busy DJ/producer recently released a brand-new artist album and with performances on just about every continent, catching him live in London is rare. His unmistakable sound, coupled with the Spangulation residents and Jessica B, will keep the crowd bouncing from the beginning to the end.
