Valve Carnival Weekend Showdown -
29th August 2009

After an incredible sell-out debut at the IndigO2 last May (scroll down for pictures) Valve are ready to up the anti even further with what promises to be the biggest party in London this August bank holiday weekend!

Whilst the last show featured the likes of Goldie, Friction and Hype all battling it out with the Valve owners Dillinja & Lemonde in front of 2000 people the next line-up is equally if not more mouth-watering. Dillinja & Lemonde, Andy C, Adam F, Sub Focus, Noisia, DJ Fresh, Bryan G, Clipz and Brockie are all cutting their dubplates right now in preparation so be warned – expect dance floor annihilation!

The Valve system has also been re-developed and will offer even better sound than before so keeping hold of its ‘biggest touring sound system in the world’ tag. Bespoke lighting rigs and gogo dancers will add to the mayhem to rinse out that carnival vibe even further! Aye aye aye! Keep an eye on thesummerslam.com/showdown for updates!

What’s more Dillinja & Lemonde will be presenting the premiere of Valve Live which will see the boys donning samplers and synths as well as decks and CDJs to roll out an awe-inspiring set of Valve classics and forthcoming gems from their as yet unfinished album due out next year.

Future technology – turn on your Bluetooth when you enter the venue and you could receive exclusive Valve content direct to your phone whilst dancing! Whether it’s a track being played in the club, real tones, Valve screen savers or anything else that take our fancy you can be rest assured it’ll be very, very cool.

Also about to start is Valve’s search to find some stars of the future. June 29th will see the Valve DJ & MC competition kick-off in conjunction with Drum And Bass Arena. Five finalists will get to battle it out at a free-party at London’s trendy Herbal nightclub on August 26th and the winner will win every bedroom DJ’s dream – a set on the Valve Sound System at the Carnival Showdown the weekend after.
