Renowned rave chiefs , Blow have locked horns with prime Sheffield hotspot Fez to form a partnership that'll flex its muscles in the house stakes with a solid roster of acts, guaranteed to rival the majority of what the UK has to offer.

The Steel City rave space is notorious for hosting high grade acts in it's intimate confines that cry out for straight up four to the floor beats, which is exactly what Blow deliver throughout the coming months.

Route 94 Friday 3rd October 

Route 94 likes to keep a low profile and let his music do the talking, a feat he undoubtedly conquered when his belting track 'My Love' with Jess Glynne smashed the charts to pieces, gaining tens of millions of views along the way. His stripped back jacking house beats are synonymous with what's hot at the moment, brilliantly demonstrated in his rework of MK's 'Always' (below) that took Ibiza by storm this summer. Grab your tickets here. 

Sidney Charles Friday 17th October 

With possibly one of the greatest middle names ever - 'Hurricane', Sidney Charles has the musical output to match it, mixing up solid grooves with a raw underground edge. The resultant force was a string of belting tracks that have infiltrated various charts, although his true colours lie in the underground which is where he truly shines. Catch a flavour of his latest workings with his new 'Going Down' EP released on Moda Black above. Get your tickets for it here.

Richy Ahmed Saturday 25th October 

The house scene was turned on its head when Ahmed arrived on the scene with Lee Foss and Jamie Jones under their hallowed Hot Creations imprint that has fast become one of the most symbolic labels on the planet.

Having held residencies at DC-10 and the much loved Hot Natured parties, Ahmed knows his way around the decks, swaying dancefloors all over the shop with his soulful deep seated groovers, as can be heard in this Ibiza villa takeover mix above. Grab your tickets here. 

Patrick Topping Saturday 8th November 

Another Hot Creations compatriot, Patrick Topping takes to the fold after blowing the lid off Ibiza this year with his bass injected roller 'Forget' (above) that claimed top spot of the Beatport tech house charts.

Topping however is no one hit wonder, leading a stern reputation for producing catchy bangers that have brought him to where he is today, which is usually somewhere between key UK venues and Ibiza including the godly DC-10. Grab your tickets here.

Secondcity and Dale Howard Saturday 8th November  

It's a well known fact that SecondCity made 2013 his own, most notably with his dancefloor jam 'I Wanna Feel' that earned him maximum exposure on the house front. He has since exploited this exposure with ultimate effect, most recently with the release of the vocally charged 'What Can I Do' in collaboration with Ali Love which appears above. 

He is backed by a fine purveyor of deep house music - Dale Howard, who's recently remixed a handful of tracks that helped accelerate his reputation as a talented producer. When he takes to the fold, there's no doubting that he'll fill the room with straight up house bangers and big drops. Both of which can be witnessed in one of his infamous 'To The House Beat' mixes above. Grab your tickets here.
