A LOVEBOX & RED BULL MUSIC ACADEMY SPECIAL

Lovebox and Red Bull Music Academy join forces to present a sensational musical journey charting the lineage of the electronic dance music of today back to the sounds of 1970’s New York City Disco at The Forum on Friday 14th June. 

Lovebox and Red Bull Music Academy are upping the ante with an event headlined by Chic featuring Nile Rodgers who are widely credited with pioneering the R&B and disco scene in the 70’s and responsible for some immortal classics from the era, including “Le Freak”, “Dance Dance Dance”, “I Want Your Love” and “Good Times” with Rodgers also producing albums for artists such as Madonna, David Bowie, Sister Sledge and Diana Ross.

Still selling out arenas worldwide, front man Nile Rodgers returns to London hot on the heels of his Classic Album Sundays x Red Bull Music Academy appearance in New York.   The party doesn’t stop there however, with Rodgers curating a roll call of top drawer DJ talent to make sure the celebrations continue until the early hours.  There will be sets from DJ Pierre, Derrick Carter, Seth Troxler (Disco Set), Horsemeat Disco, and RBMA Alumni Rebel Rebel.

DJ Pierre, one of the originators of the Acid House movement, will usher forth the sounds of underground Chicago during the mid 1980’s Acid House explosion, while Derrick Carter will no doubt deliver a rare disco set before Prince of the new school and fourth wave Detroit star Seth Troxler (Disco Set) completes the journey from vintage vogue to contemporary cool.  Also perk your ears up for support act Nicky Siano, past resident at the legendary Studio 54 and renowned pioneer of the New York disco scene.

There’s no better way to warm up for Lovebox Festival, set to be one of the hottest events of the summer.
