Industrial playground: Junction 2 has quickly become London's best techno event
In its second year, the techno all-dayer was back to thrill crowds in London at the weekend
1 East End Dubs ‘Lexa Groove’
Willow, The Hydra: Thousands have already flooded in within the first two hours to squeeze in as many acts as possible. We eyeball the schedule at Junction 2’s main field before rising talent Willow draws us into the marquee curated by revered promoters The Hydra. She weaves the slick ‘Lexa Groove’ into her set and a panorama view of fragmented visuals flashes along with the chunky drums.
2 Sebo K 'Brock Wild'
DJ Tennis, Sonus: After quickly getting to grips with the layout, we follow a path tucked away behind the trees to discover the area fronted by Sonus. Although it’s completely open air, the sound here instantly blows us away with its power and clarity. DJ Tennis is in control of the decks and gets the early-doors vibes spot on with ‘Brock Wild’. It was the first bite of the day and upped our expectations for what was to follow.
