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
3 M Fukuda ‘Dual Wield’ (The Reactivitz remix)
Sam Paganini, Sonus: We check out Rødhåd in the blacked-out Warehouse next. He can’t wipe the smile off his face while he takes us through a workout of high-tempo techno. Massive fans cool us down, but we fancy something a little less intense so head back to Sonus. Sam Paganini hits the nail on the head with a thumping, high-octane set. The Italian commands the floor by stitching the jacking groove on The Reactivitz’s remix with his recent outing for Drumcode.
4 Quim Manuel O Espirito Santo ‘Senhor Doutor’ (Adam Port Edit)
DJ Koze, The Hydra: The Hydra invites DJ Koze next and he locks in solid tracks with plenty of character. Koze is wholly suited to the afternoon time slot and the German DJ looks right at home. An acid rework of ‘Higher State of Consciousness’ is followed by tracks laden with percussion. It’s all topped off with Adam Port’s summer-appropriate funky and frivolous edit.
