Glitterbox has revealed the line-up for its debut event at London’s Printworks on Saturday, 23rd February 2019. With a huge additional headliner to be announced in the new year, Purple Disco Machine and Jellybean Benitez will be joined by Glitterbox head Simon Dunmore, The Shapeshifters and young residents Melvo Baptiste and Katie Goodman. Printworks will also be taken over by the usual crew of ferocious drag queens and performers, bringing the Glitterbox phenomenon to life.
Welcoming nu-disco’s man of the moment Purple Disco Machine, the soundtrack to the party’s Printworks debut will be fresh vocal house sounds, brand new disco cuts and dancefloor anthems from the Glitterbox label, plus well-loved soulful classics and rarities from the disco archives. One selector who has his roots deep in those archives is Jellybean Benitez, a legendary producer and musician who honed his DJing skills during disco’s golden era. Four of Glitterbox’s finest residents make up the billing, including hitmakers and disco devotees The Shapeshifters, Simon Dunmore and the voice of Glitterbox Radio, Melvo Baptiste and newest recruit Katie Goodman.
The daytime Glitterbox party at Printworks will kick off at midday and close at 11pm, a consistent set-up for the forward-thinking venue making it accessible to all. Situated south of the river in Surrey Quays, Printworks’ groundbreaking multi-purpose venue is changing the face of London’s cultural scene, with staggering lighting and sound production, original machinery and industrial features retained from its time as a fully operational printing press. Through its thoughtful, broad programming the club shares Glitterbox’s dedication to breaking ground in nightclub culture, heralding a new chapter for London’s clubland.
2018 has been a defining year for Glitterbox, with a record-breaking season at Hï Ibiza alongside parties in New York, Zurich, Amsterdam, Belgium, Croatia and Manchester to name only a few. By the close of this year, over 150,000 people will have experienced a Glitterbox dancefloor within just 12 months. With its immersive, uplifting confetti moments, all-inclusive crowd and soundtrack of nu-disco, classic house and fresh vocal sounds, Glitterbox is synonymous with unforgettable moments, the most spectacular production, dancers, and performers – a truly 21st century disco.
