London's The Steel Yard is celebrating a decade at the top on Friday, October 25th. The special birthday event is headlined by Calamar Records founder MooJo, Konflict London boss Antares with support from Selador stalwart Redfreya and tickets are available now from; thesteelyard.london
The space is housed inside three beautifully restored and cavernous Victorian railway arches in the heart of London. It has a long, rich history because way before it was a cult music venue, the spaces were used as a maintenance yard for trains and still include a vast steel crane that was used to manoeuvre the engines into and out of the arches.
In 2014, The Steel Yard on Allhallows Lane was launched by Regan McVaddy and former Cable Nightclub and SEOne owner Euan Johnston following an extensive renovation of the Loose Cannon venue on the same site.
“We took inspiration from the arches' past, kept their industrial feel and made the brickwork a prominent feature. We’re running a high spec Nova line array sound system plus plenty of cutting-edge production that brings each party to life every weekend.” Regan McVaddy - Founder
The Steel Yard hosts influential brands and parties like Keinemusik, Andy C’s Ram Records, the annual DJ Mag Awards, 20 Years of Virus Records, Spotify Live, DJ Frictions’s Shogun Audio and house, garage and techno parties like Solid Grooves, LWE, Labyrinth, Dankie Sounds, City Splash, Free From Sleep, Parable, UKG and Old School RnB Brunches. It is even home to the capital's Bongo's Bingo.
“Since opening, we've always had a passion for diverse and forward-looking programming and this has kept The Steel Yard at the forefront of London's club scene. Such a wide array of talent has lit up our arches from Jarvis Cocker to Leftfield, Pendulum to Skepta and Richie Hawtin through to Honey Dijon.” Barry Sharp - Programmer
Now the last decade will be celebrated with this special birthday event. French DJ and producer MooJo runs his Calamar label out of Hong Kong and takes great inspiration from movie soundtracks. He adds that to a mix of timeless grooves and ethnic sounds to cook up fresh Afro house and melodic sets that are emotive and immersive. DJ Antares is a Steel Yard favourite who has previously hosted his influential Konflict events at the venue. He will offer a journey through many different emotions and senses with support from Londoner Redfraya, a fast-rising talent with a knack for laying down deep, hypnotic and melodic sounds.
London would sound very different without The Steel Yard and never has there been a better time to celebrate that than with this special 10th anniversary party.
