Thirty years is the difference
A lot of promoters can put on a good night. Very few can point at three decades of them. The Epidemik crew has helped define UK underground electronic culture across that whole span — emerging from the warehouse rave scene of the 1980s, moving through some of the country's most exclusive venues and festivals, and still programming events now.
That length of involvement isn't a boast, it's a working advantage. It's the reason the roster reads the way it does: these are not artists booked through an agent's catalogue, they are people the crew has been putting on for years, in some cases since the beginning.
One continuous lineage
The sounds Epidemik programmes — oldskool, breakbeat hardcore, jungle, drum & bass, hard house — are usually treated as separate genres. They aren't, really. They're one continuous lineage, and most of the people who built the later stages were present for the earlier ones.
That's the idea behind the Seven Ages: rather than treating rave as a period that ended, treat it as something that kept moving and take the whole arc seriously. It's why an Epidemik bill can put a 1991 selector next to a modern drum & bass DJ and have it make sense to the floor.
Where it happens now
Recent Epidemik events have run at Electrowerkz in Angel Islington, at Wold Farm on the Santa Pod Raceway site near Wellingborough, and at Cambridge Junction. The rooms have changed; the programming logic hasn't.
Tickets for upcoming events are on On The Door, our own ticketing platform — which exists so the money and the data stay inside the ecosystem rather than being handed to a third party.
