A night of global bass, electro, and techno from the outer reaches

Contact is proud to launch into the national holiday with two distinct rooms of electronic music that dares to be different.

Spurred on by the rapidly swelling scene orbiting Kampala and the Nyege Nyege festival, Kenyan producer Slikback has made his sonic presence felt across the globe in a short space of time. Launching his own Hakuna Kulala label to carry two widely celebrated EPs, and collaborating with vital Chinese artists like Hyph11E and 33EMYBW, his visceral and wildly different take on the dynamics of bass music are as excitingly fresh as they are utterly heavy in the dance. His appearance on the Studio X Floor comes off the back of a first appearance at Rural Festival.

On the Contact floor, Intergalactic Gary will present his vintage version of the future through the medium of deep-cover electro, techno, acid and more besides. The Dutch DJ rose to prominence as the founder of Intergalactic FM, with his immense knowledge and skill as a selector earning him respect and recognition in many different places. Gary will be joined by Oliver Hafenbauer, a central figure at legendary German club Robert Johnson and the founder of consistently intriguing techno label Die Orakel.
