'TRMNL PRESENTS...' brought the underground sound back to Birmingham with sets from Radio Slave, Mark Henning and Ethyl & Flori
Birmingham's newest music venue LAB11 opened its doors on Saturday 31st March drawing in throngs of dance music fans culminating in a sell out. To celebrate the launch, 'TRMNL Presents…' returned to the cool industrial quarters of Digbeth bringing the underground sound back to Birmingham. Revellers danced through the night to some of the biggest names in techno including Radio Slave, Mark Henning and Ethy & Flori and featuring two rooms of bespoke sound and lighting systems plus an incredible heated outside terrace securing LAB11’s position as the music hub of the Midlands. Tickets for next Saturday’s 'TRMNL Presents...' party featuring Carl Craig, Lauhaus and Samu.l are available to buy now for only £10 from Skiddle.
AB11 is based in a disused warehouse space in Birmingham’s Digbeth district. Owned by Network Rail, the building has been derelict for decades before being re-commissioned by TRMNL Music & Events and completely transformed into a cutting edge music venue.
'TRMNL Presents...' will take place every Saturday bringing the best names in techno from around the world. Following the launch weekend, 'TRMNL Presents...' boasts an impressive line-up of artists over the coming seven weeks. This Saturday is no exception with an Easter Bank Holiday Special featuring creative visionary and electronic music icon Carl Craig, Dutch techno master Lauhaus and Birmingham’s latest protégée Samu.l who is already achieving international success with hugely popular edits of Buriel and James Blake. Other names to feature on the seven-week season include Sebo K, Markus Fix, Marco Faraone, Andre Galluzzi and Cocoon favourite Raresh.
TRMNL Music & Events founder and CEO, Dee Dixon made the following comment: “We could not have asked for a better turn out at Saturday’s big launch party. The crowds were amazing, the sounds were incredible and although we were thrown plenty of obstacles along the way we have made it through to create what I hope everyone agrees is a top clubbing destination for the Midlands and the UK. Thanks so much to all those who are helping to make this happen and continuing to support LAB11 and the return of TRMNL. Bring on Saturday’s Easter celebration with the master that is Carl Craig supported by Lauhaus and local talent Samu.l.”
Initially open on a Saturday night, LAB11 will ultimately be open six days a week with opportunities for local promoters and student promoters to run nights at the venue. TRMNL Music & Events is also in talks with some of the UK’s leading electronic music brands to programme some exclusive events in the space.
