Having captured the hearts and minds of all who attended the summer residency at Space Ibiza, the island’s most talked-about party, Glitterbox, makes its triumphant return to London’s Ministry of Sound for what promises to be an electrifying event.
The December show once again welcomes an eclectic mix of established DJ talent, all of whom are given free rein to dig that little bit deeper into their respective record collections.
Norman Jay MBE, The 2 Bears, The Shapeshifters, John Morales and DJ Pippi have all received rave reviews for their respective Glitterbox sets at Space Ibiza this year, whilst Defected founder Simon Dunmore leads little further introduction as one of the most essential selectors of his or any other generation.
Making his Glitterbox debut, Crazy P’s Ron Basejam is renowned for sets that span disco, funk, house and everything in between with a heathy dose of the productions, remixes and edits which he has established himself as an artist of unwavering talent.
Glitterbox’s emphasis on performance further elevates proceedings with a live appearance from the legendary Alison Limerick, who will be performing amongst others the iconic, Frankie Knuckles-produced ‘Where Loves Lives’, as well as M-People percussionist and renowned drum warrior Shovell.
Finally, The Loft hosts the For The Love Of House DJs where Greg Sawyer and Simon Dawson who will be spinning classic house all night long, paying homage to the records that have helped define the scene over the past 30+ years, while the Savage dance crews Nutbags and Hot Heels will be out in force, with live dance shows and rampant dancefloor debauchery adding the final sparkle to Glitterbox’s unique atmosphere.
Accompanying the party, a new mix album Defected presents Glitterbox London will be released this November. Mixed by Simon Dunmore and featuring some the most inspiring artists from the last 40 years of dance music, including Gwen Guthrie, First Choice, Patrice Rushen, Donald Byrd, Blondie, Breakbot, Moloko, and Purple Disco Machine, the new London edition is packed full of both unashamed Glitterbox anthems and hidden gems.
