Now relocating to Hertfordshire's Hatfield House, the hotly anticipated return of Eastern Electrics sees the reliably impressive party brand unleash a bill crammed with the most important players in underground electronic dance music on Saturday 2nd August.

Hitting the St Albans venue will be the irresistible house grooves of Canadian duo Art Department (watch them at Movement Detroit above), soulful house legend and MadTech records head honcho Kerri Chandler and dark house overlord Steve Lawler. Enchanting Berlinette and Bpitch owner Ellen Allien is drafted in too to provide her usual display of melodically superior, beat driven techno and electro.

Elsewhere, machine funk specialist Daniel Avery, Swamp 81 bass music giant Loefah, deep house man of the moment Route 94 and Shorterz take to the Rinse stage, complete with the bone rattling RC1 sound system, perfectly primed to make the most of their low end ideals.

The likes of Apollonia's Dyed Soundorom, Secretsundaze masterminds James Priestley and Giles Smith, Desolat's tINI, 2020Vision's Ralph Lawson, and Hot Creation's Waifs & Strays also get in on the action, as the endlessly impressive line up showcases the kind of quality we've come to expect from Eastern Electrics.
