Behind the scenes, we are a cascading creative torrent. Buoyed by a wave of momentum after our event at Club Union in July, the ideas and plans are in full flow.

iv class='repsonsive-image'> iv class='repsonsive-image'> iv class='repsonsive-image'> iv class='repsonsive-image'> >Transcend will very soon celebrate 5 years of putting on clubbing events, as well as 3 years of doing it in London - undisputedly one of the greatest cultural hotbeds in the world. In that time there's been a hell of a lot to reflect positively on. With each year that has gone by our vision for what makes a good club night has evolved and crystallised. Moving venues or even cities hasn't derailed us in growing our brand and translating it into an ever clearer reflection of us as DJs and music fans.

iv class='repsonsive-image'> iv class='repsonsive-image'> iv class='repsonsive-image'> iv class='repsonsive-image'> >But in all honesty, in my years working with Transcend, there has never been a more exciting time to be involved. And what's more, the best and clearest evolution of what we do has undoubtedly occurred in the last 12 months. We are travelling faster than ever before, with greater clarity of purpose than ever before. In a sense, that's where so much of the excitement comes from.

iv class='repsonsive-image'> iv class='repsonsive-image'> iv class='repsonsive-image'> iv class='repsonsive-image'> >On top of all that, it's been quite a long time since I put the now proverbial pen to paper on an article like this. It was actually before our Fourth Birthday event almost a year ago. So much has happened in that time ... and yet there is still even more to come.

Traditionally, we like to put on an event around April time each year - The Thrillseekers in 2015 and Dan Stone in 2016 being two of our best. Next year we'll be putting things right by bringing you plenty of Transcend in the first months of the year, with two dates currently being worked on, and there will be more to follow.

We're hopeful of having that ready to announce at our Fifth Birthday and we should have more dates to confirm for your diaries in the coming weeks as well.
