Directors behind HERE are New York artist Nicolas Matar as well as London promoter Simon Denby, who also works on Percolate and Waterworks Festival.

"We're focussing on a diverse range of electronic music, with club and live shows reflecting the makeup of London's diverse and exciting musical heritage," Denby and Matar told Resident Advisor. "It will also be a space to host the best of worldwide touring talent with all its contemporary and eclectic musical strands."

They added: "Top-level production is at the heart of the project. The sound treatment is more like that of a music studio, but on a very large scale unseen in London clubland. It features the latest d‘n’b audiotechnik sound system installation, a top-spec lighting rig and a huge 8K resolution screen."
