Mind Expansion Pack 3

Mind Expansion Pack 3

Not standing still. Not resting on our laurels. 

Mind Expansion Pack 3 charts a course from Chicago and one of the founding fathers of House, through legendary label Rephlex and the sweatbox bacchanalia of London, to one of the breakout club hits of the year forged in Sheffield. 

This doesn’t happen here… It does now.

Mind Expansion Pack 3 will take place on 17-18 May at DEYA on the Lansdown Industrial Estate. It's split into Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and Saturday night, with a weekend ticket covering all the bases. 

Powered by a mighty OHM Sound System (as commended by Mr. Scruff, no less) expect defined sound that packs a punch. 

But who are the headline artists??

MARSHALL JEFFERSON - Chicago native and one of the founding fathers of House Music, Grammy nominated no less, and producer of the first Acid House record. 

HORSE MEAT DISCO (3 hour set) - legendary London party starting collective and production team, with remixes of the likes of Dua Lipa and Jessie Ware under their belts.

DENHAM AUDIO - The mastermind behind one of the club hits of 2023 - Make Me - Denham Audio is at the cutting edge of contemporary dance. “Mean breakbeats that move like a bulldozer.” (Resident Advisor)

DMX KREW - having released six full albums on Aphex Twin's label Rephlex Records, DMX Krew’s position in the pantheon of electronic musicians is already assured, but he consistently knocks out top quality acid and synth wizardry.

NEMONE - BBC 6 Music stalwart Nemone previously presented the Electric Ladyland show, and is now at the helm of Journey's in Sound.

Over 18s only Friday and Saturday evening. Under 18s can only attend Saturday Afternoon, and must be accompanied by an adult. Please do get a free ticket for any under 18s, so we can have an idea on numbers.

***Get the t-shirt! We did t-shirts in MExP's first year, and for Mr. Scruff too, and we're doing it again! Yes, you can get the amazing design by Thom Hobson, DEYA's in house artist, on an organic cotton t-shirt, hand screen-printed by Bristol's Hidden Temple - see below. We'll be doing a limited run - you can pre-order here to pickup at the festival at the ticket section (or hit Bandcamp if you want it posted). A mock up of the t-shirt is below (NB it'll have the final lineup on, so will include Nemone etc.).***
