The Playground Weekender hits London
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 24 March 2011
Gig promoter The Playground will be at Electrowerkz on Friday and Saturday this week for the first Playground Weekender, which features an impressive line-up of electronic artists over the two nights.
San Francisco’s oOoOO will headline Friday night with their first ever UK performance, alongside the Brainfeeder label’s Jeremiah Jae and Teebs, plus Dimlite, Becoming Real, Breton, D/R/U/G/S and Anxst. If you can cope with all the excitement of the first night, you can head back on Saturday for a headline slot from French popster Yelle, along with fellow Kitsuné acts In Flagranti, Punx Soundcheck and Waylayers, plus Delooze, Tiger Love, The Coolness and Douce Angoisse.
The Playground’s head Warren Morris told CMU: “We’re extremely excited to once again present some of the most interesting and edgy music out there. Watching underground acts like oOoOO and Dimlite, and labels such as Brainfeeder, put out fresh music which references electronica, hip hop, experimental and gothic genres, and then seeing media outlets including The Guardian, Supersuper, FACT and Pitchfork embracing them, really reinforces The Playground’s mission for our events. Alongside our continued support for electro and dance it only made sense that we put on an event that presents both the darker and upbeat styles we love in a central London location”.
