ÂME 2 ÂME
FRI 17 FEB
Kristian Beyer and Frank Wiedemann don’t deal in nostalgia. You won’t find either of the duo listening to the cooing sound of member berries in their free time. Âme’s obsession is with the future. Since 2003, they’ve been busy penning songs to counter everything they didn’t hear in the club, combining classy deep house with floor-filling elements and conceptual conceits.
Now members of the prestigious Innervisions family, they remain as distinguished as their sound, and as distinct in their outlook today as they were over a decade ago. On Friday 17th February they’ll head to Superstition for an all-night-long takeover, which will see the duo DJing and performing live. Make sure you catch them.

KITSUNÉ FRENCH KISS PARTY
SAT 11 FEB
We promised you there would be a line-up worth waiting for and Kitsuné have not disappointed. Their 4th French Kiss party turns all those Valentine’s cliches upside-down for an inclusive disco with the freshest selection of future-house block-rocking beats. Manchester’s one to watch, Karma Kid, heads the night, alongside Zimmer’s enticing mix of West Coast feel-good vibes and Parisian chic, Fono, Tkay Maidza (live) and Young Franco. They’ll be packing out the stage on Saturday 11th February - all they ask is that you bring the love.
