Moondance:

the 12th birthday

Saturday 9th September

10:00PM – 06:00AM

@ The Renaissance Rooms

Miles Street, off Wandsworth Road, SW8 1SD

 

 

This isn’t just any old birthday party – this is Moondance’s 12th Birthday celebration! The ultimate London rave-up is feeling as youthful and energetic as ever and is celebrating 12 years of roadblocked events with a move to London’s most exciting new venue – the amazing Renaissance “Rave” Rooms in Vauxhall.

 

This isn’t just a dance classics night that’s sprung up in the past few years – this is a proper rave with years of glorious history. Promoter Funki launched Moondance back in 1994, trying to recreate the original unprejudiced, loved-up vibe of the original acid house and rave days. Moondance is and always has been about bringing together different styles of dance music, and a diverse crowd of the most up-for-it bunch of party-people around. This means YOU!

 

“The first Moondance event took place at The Astoria in 1994 and was really well attended. We didn’t do another one for a year, and when we finally did at Bagleys, we had 4,500 through the door and more people queuing outside! I think what helped to make Moondance so popular, aside from the quality music and atmosphere, were the adverts we used to do on KissFM. Random wind-up phone calls which showed that Moondance was all about having FUN and not taking things too seriously!” – Funki

 

The main Moondance Arena takes you back to the golden era of dance music between 1990 and 1993....before jungle was jungle and hardcore was hardcore, it was all just RAVE music! No MCs, no fillers, just pure anthems from legends such as The Ratpack and Slipmatt as well as our original Moondance DJs. We couldn’t do a classics event without a room dedicated to where it all started – The History of House! This arena will rock to the full spectrum of House music classics with the finest DJs from House music institutions like Kinky Malinki, Freedom 2 Dance, Kiss FM and Soul Heaven. Rooms 3 is hosted by Son of Dance providing Upfront in your face DnB. Epidemik take over Room 4 for a DnB knockout covering everything from Jungle in 1996 all the way through the present day nu-skool jump up and sexy liquid DnB. With all this awesome music to choose from, you should be prepared for some serious arena-hopping!

 

The stunning Renaissance Rooms has taken the capital by storm since opening in January, regularly packing in up to 2,300 clubbers across its 4 arenas (including 2 outdoor spaces). It is fully kitted-out with top-of-the-range, clear-but-punchy Funktion One soundsystems, great lighting, mind-blowing lasers, powerful air conditioning and numerous toilets and bars. It also has the biggest Ibizan style outdoor terrace in London, plus the capital’s ONLY outdoor funfair, complete with rush-inducing rides and food concessions. What more could you want from a venue?

 

“It’s an excellent venue, a lot of people are going to like it....I think a lot of people will be surprised by it as it’s an excellent venue which is only just now coming into the limelight. It’s big enough, but not so big that it loses that intimate feeling. People were asking us to do more multi-arena parties as a lot of people like several styles of music – so it’s much easier to do one night with 4 different styles....kind of like 4 different events for the price of 1!” - Funki

 

If you’ve never experienced the magic of an amazing classics night, you need to do yourself a favour and get down to Moondance. One of the few clubs with that genuine “one family” vibes, it truly is something special that puts most other events to shame.
