Adi Shabat @ The Block 17.8.17

This was the last hour from a mega 3 hour set at Fox&Badge’s spectacular ‘Underground Masquerade’, held at the Steel Yard, London, where I was among 3 DJs, along with Aidan Doherty and Gus Emmett. I also plan to upload the the first part but especially loved the intensity of this last hour. The view from the behind the decks was simply incredible: immersive performers, circus and fire, and the most beautifully attired crowd, shimmering under the laser beams and masked in anonymity until the big reveal. The whole night was outstanding, enchanting, mysterious and mesmerising; where imaginations and guests ran wild. This is London partying at its very best.

As for this part of the set, the chimes mark midnight and Sinead’s dance of the Masque of the Red Death, inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s story in which Prince Prospero hosted a masquerade ball for 1000 nobles in his abbey… I wanted a big, haunting and moody feel I also love vocals and chorals, and so having the opportunity to play these in this cavernous setting felt absolutely immense. 

I’ve been hugely inspired by a number of DJs who play the most stunning music, among them Marius Lenhart, Roy Rosenfeld, Miss Melera, D-Nox, Simon Doty, and Einmusik. I am also forever indebted to Kai for his unwavering support and advice and for sending my the final track upon discovering it several weeks ago, saying it would be perfect for this night. Indeed it was.

Thank you Fox&Badge, aka Sinead MacManus and Alex Haw, for such an unforgettable opportunity to play for you.

******************

Fox & Badge courteously invite you to our biggest & boldest party yet - our deviant twist on an Underground Ball.

The magnificent Venetian Carnival enabled disguise. Masks protected the identity of their wearers, safeguarding the freedom to escape social norms, divisions and constraints. Decadence ensued; every excess was permitted; licentiousness reigned as intuition was unleashed.

Our guests will all arrive mysteriously masked for their journey into an elegant night of anonymised immersion, escapism and interaction. Expect a pageant of performers amidst our masque of masks, whispers and gestures; a flock of the finest frocks amidst a phantasmagoria of fog and feathers and forbidden encounters.
Come revel in newfound anonymity as you melt amongst our masked melée, join the a masquerade shimmering with elegance and intrigue.

We’ll be hosting this experience in the Piranesian vaults of The Steel Yard - buried in the heart of the City beneath Cannon Street Station, right by London’s version of the Canale Grande.

Glance up and you can see vast heritage chains and machinery from its industrial legacy - as well as glimpse the occasional aerialist or furtive reveller, and new cutting-edge lighting & sound systems we’ll be pushing to their very limits. The venue has a cavernous central dancefloor; a long adjacent parlour, acres of chillout space, an outdoor smoking area, 2 vast reasonably-priced bars, its own brewery on site - and endless capacity for intrigue.

We’ll be delivering cinematic soundscapes driven by utterly beautiful melodic techno from the brilliant DJs Aidan Doherty + Gus Emmett (Warm Up) & Alexandra, while we envelop you in undulating landscapes of light and darkness. Prepare for whiffs of Church and dungeon, Kubrick and Malkovich, antiquity and avant-gardism, fashion and fetish, opera and impropriety; a host of interactive characters and spectacular performers, including a dramatic new Masque choreographed and performed by Foxy amidst the chimes of midnight...

The Dress Code is ballroom elegance - divinely attired, as deviant as desired. 
Guests are required to wear a mask at all times, and maintain the utmost anonymity. 
Then suddenly, we'll permit the Grand Reveal.

Some darkened spaces will enable further descents into the unknown; others will require silence and nonverbal communication; still others will enable discreet revelation.

The night is yours; explore with abandon.
