"Under the ban, --
So, ye have wrought me
Designs on the night of our knowledge, -- yea, ye have taught me,
So,
That haply we know somewhat more than we know.

Ye lispers, whisperers, singers in storms,
Ye consciences murmuring faiths under forms,
Ye ministers meet for each passion that grieves,
Friendly, sisterly, sweetheart leaves,
Oh, rain me down from your darks that contain me
Wisdoms ye winnow from winds that pain me, --
Sift down tremors of sweet-within-sweet
That advise me of more than they bring, -- repeat
Me the woods-smell that swiftly but now brought breath
From the heaven-side bank of the river of death, --
Teach me the terms of silence, -- preach me
The passion of patience, -- sift me, -- impeach me, --
And there, oh there
As ye hang with your myriad palms upturned in the air,
Pray me a myriad prayer.
My gossip, the owl, -- is it thou
That out of the leaves of the low-hanging bough,"

“The phrase and the day and the scene harmonized in a chord. Words. Was it their colours? He allowed them to glow and fade, hue after hue: sunrise gold, the russet and green of apple orchards, azure of waves, the greyfringed fleece of clouds. No it was not their colours: it was the poise and balance of the period itself. Did he then love the rhythmic rise and fall of words better than their associations of legend and colour? Or was it that, being as weak of sight as he was shy of mind, he drew less pleasure from the reflection of the glowing sensible world through the prism of a language manycoloured and richly storied than from the contemplation of an inner world of individual emotions mirrored perfectly in a lucid supple periodic prose?”

"The keynote of the stylization achieved in ballet is: weightlessness. Paradoxically, ballet presents man as almost disembodied: it does not distort man’s body, it selects the kinds of movements that are normally possible to man (such as walking on tiptoe) and exaggerates them, stressing their beauty—and defying the law of gravitation. A gracefully effortless floating, flowing and flying are the essentials of the ballet’s image of man. It projects a fragile kind of strength and a certain inflexible precision, but it is man with a fine steel skeleton and without flesh, man the spirit, not controlling, but transcending this earth . . . .

Strong passions or negative emotions cannot be projected in ballet, regardless of its librettos; it cannot express tragedy or fear—or sexuality; it is a perfect medium for the expression of spiritual love."

"As Opposed To What?"

"Almost every wise saying has an opposite one, no less wise, to balance it."

“All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination?”

Aidan Doherty - London based DJ and founder of Warm Up and Warm Up Festival.

Founder and resident DJ of London’s beloved subterranean community, Warm Up, Aidan Doherty has established himself as a vanguard of a special pocket of sound and space in London’s underground scene, since the movements conception in 2013.

It is his uncompromising, passionate belief in music’s capacity to affect emotional change, together with total emersion in Warm Up’s own particular narrative, eclectic groove that has earned him an avid, loyal following and recognition as one of London’s most respected, sought after names.

From a potent list of warm up sets for the likes of Max Cooper, Stephan Bodzin, Christian Löffler, Joris Voorn and Kollectiv Turmstrasse, to his signature extended closing sets at ‘Warm Up In The Woods’ outdoor summer events, expect above all, transition. A journey.

It is there that you will begin to get quietly subsumed by a dynamic range of deep, melodic techno and electronica coupled with the unique painterly style that flows and bristles through his sets.


For him, community means everything, community is after all, about identifying the people around you with whom you can create a common, passionate cause. It’s about ignoring the conventional wisdom of bland, sometime politics and playing the game by a different set of rules. You have DJ’s who play music, and you have DJ’s who tell stories, be a storey teller.

DJ, ive act & producer Sturge, originally from Belfast, is now based in Ibiza after spending over a decade in London. He has been DJing and promoting electronic music parties across Europe and beyond for many years, from Belfast to Burning Man, from London to Berlin. As one of the curators for the Celtic Chaos stage at the Burn, he takes equal pride in his curation as much as in his DJ sets..

Sturge is an avid collector of all things electronic. From the early days of purist Techno in the late 90s and early 00s, his repertoire has evolved and he is adept at playing anything from downtempo to Techno, but these days the BPM is irrelevant. His eclectic sets usually tend towards emotive and driving melodic Techno- emotion is paramount in all his selections, and the perpetual intention is to take the listener along on the journey. This journey over the past three decades has led Sturge to develop his personal sound as he continues to hone his craft.

As much a regular in the underground scene as he is on some of main stages in London and at Burning Man, he has shared the bill with the likes of Gorgon City, Township Rebellion, Osunlade, Christopher Coe, Christian Loffler, Igor Marijuan, Seth Schwarz, Natascha Polke, Josh Butler, Roy Rosenfeld, Jim Rider, Jon Charnis, Guy J, Guy Mantzur, Mees Salome, John Daly, Moonwalk, YokoO, Be Svendsen, Jan Blomqvist, Chaim, Solvane, Prismode, The Scumfrog, Unders, Britta, Goldcap, Sabo, Rey&Kjavik, The Desert Hearts crew, and Aidan Doherty, to name just a few! 

Sturge’s first mainstream release, What Were The Skies LIke When You Were Young, was released on Musique De Lune Records in summer 2024. This stunning 5 track EP, featuring the lead track and four remixes, went straight into the Beatport top 10 and gained immediate support from industry heavy hitters Above and Beyond, Adriatique, Audiojack, Agoria, Armin Van Buren, Ame, Black Coffee, Blond:ish, Bedouin, Christian Varela, Jim Rider, John Digweed, Joris Vorn, Joseph Capriati, Marcelo Vasami, Mariano Mellino, Nick Warren, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Loco Dice, Mind Against, Paul Oakenfold, Pete Tong, and Solomun. 

Exciting developments are on the horizon for the next chapter of Sturge’s career, as highlighted by recent standout sets at Akasha in Ibiza and a move to a hybrid live set. New releases will be coming shortly on some standout labels- with sets lined up across the globe, the sky’s the limit and the future is bright.
