Elena Colombi (NTS/Abattoir)
From Milan to London via pretty much every city with a soundsystem, a late license and an open mind to completely batshit music, Elena Colombi has established herself as one of the world’s most exciting and unique DJs - and we are bloody chuffed to have her down in Bristol for the first time.
For a decade now Elena has become notorious in the capital through her NTS residency and mind-bending Abattoir parties, establishing herself as one of radio’s best loved left-fielders. The definition of genre-defying, she’s been eclectic since before eclectic was cool, and is now internationally renowned as a selector’s selector. The early months of this year alone have seen her go b2b with Interstellar Funk and play the opening night for Berlin’s CTM festival at Panorama Bar.

Kiara Scuro (Balamii/Dimensions)
On warm-up we have enlisted the help of London-based fire-starters, trouble-makers and SP family: Kiara Scuro.
Under their previous guise ATLAS, Rosie and Nadia hosted shows on Reprezent Radio & Worldwide FM, and under their current moniker hold down an exceptional monthly residency at Balamii. Through these shows they explore all the dark, weird, fucked up corners of EBM, new beat, electro and beyond. Their musical knowledge and proficiency has seen them become bona-fide rising stars, with a residency at Ghost Notes and a slot on the Dimensions festival line-up. All of this owing in no small part of course to Rosie’s impeccable PEPmix a few months back...
We could bang on about their achievements until trance comes back – come down early and see how much of a problem these two really are.
