Saturday 21st December at Parallel
23:59-06:00

The weather is getting icey, the nights are drawing in and as always we are bringing you another line up of only the COLDEST names for our final edition of the year on 21st December! We welcome Kode9, DJ Swisha, Mallaury and EYCEE to Parallel for a hot and heavy low-end showdown to combat the winter blues.

It's not easy to sum up Hyperdub founder Kode9 in one paragraph but the DJ, producer, artist and writer has touched on all corners of music with remixes for legends across genre divides such as Mr. Fingers, Lee Scratch Perry and MF DOOM. He's had an undeniable influence on bass music from a production standpoint through his stacked solo discography (as well as academic), publishing his 'Sonic Warfare' book in 2010. With mixes for institutions such as DJ-Kicks, Fabriclive and Rinse somehow in between all this, he finds time to keep his skills in the booth razor sharp and we can't wait to welcome this legend next month!

Philly-born and Juke Bounce Werk family member, DJ Swisha lands with us at Parallel bringing an arsenal of his polyrhythmic, nostalgic yet forward-thinking dancefloor cuts with him. A contender for one of our favorite and most consistently hittin' Bandcamp pages out there - it's a pleasure to welcome his trademark mix of footwork, juke, booty bass and Jersey club to our dancefloor.

Mallaury has been shutting down dances across Europe recently and after witnessing the ground shake during her rowdy set on the La Cassette stage at Orbit festial, we knew we had to get her in the PARDON booth sooner rather than later! Expect playful yet sonically wide-ranging and powerful tracks blended with precision.

EYCEE rounds out the line-up after having schemed up an all-timer of an ADE edition last October alongside the PARDON team, it was a no-brainer for us to get back in the hotseat ASAP and December 21st was perfect timing!

Line-up

Kode9

Steve Goodman, aka Kode9, is also known as the owner of influential and pioneering label Hyperdub — the house of iconic musicians such as Burial, Cooly G, Zomby and the late DJ Rashad. Initially inspired by dub, reggae and jungle — and always open for new, emerging styles of club music — Goodman has been an integral part of the early dubstep scene and has greatly influenced the many niche scenes that followed. In his own music production and deejay sets, Kode9 embraces the full potential of underground club music, as he effortlessly shifts between dub, grime, drill, footwork, jungle and even more unclassifiable forms of hybrid electronic music.

DJ Swisha

Juke Bounce Werk crew member and Fool's Gold Records signee DJ SWISHA is a DJ and producer whose work focuses on polyrhythmic, nostalgic dancefloor tracks. Born in Philadelphia, he grew up between his home city and Los Angeles, and became a drummer as a child. This sense of tactile rhythm has been injected deep into his club tracks — footwork, juke, booty bass, Jersey club and more are all part of DJ SWISHA’s repertoire.

EYCEE

EYCEE (Real name Alexandros Christodoulides) is an electronic musician, producer and DJ hailing from Amsterdam. EYCEE is known for producing forward-sounding club cuts and - in his DJ sets - blending sounds spanning house, jersey club, jungle, UKG, funky, techno & bass. In 2018 he released his debut EP,Delicate Drippin’, on London-based label Sans Absence - run by DJ and Producer Akito. Hot on the heels of his first release, EYCEE followed up with Valuable. The UK funky-infused cut from this EP, ‘Love & BS’ was nominated for the prestigious Xite 2020 Music Video of the Year Award. Being a former resident on the now defunct Red Light Radio and currently at RRFM, EYCEE has been slamming out mixes on a multitude of platforms, with numerous acclaimed guest mixes for radio stations around the world. Outside of his own mixes, his tracks have reached many ears through Boiler Room sets and radio stations such as Triple J (AUS), NTS, Rinse FM and BBC Radio 1(UK). This has not gone unnoticed by 3voor12, they labeled EYCEE as a discovery at Lentekabinet. They also wrote about the artist earlier this year, and the programmer of Lowlands named EYCEE one of the promising Dutch DJs of last year. In addition to his commitment & love of DJing, EYCEE has played a fair part in contributing to the Dutch club scene over the past decade, founding & operating numerous popular club nights across the country. One of them being label and clubnight:PARDON, which made its return to Amsterdam nightlife after the pandemic and has sold out most of their club nights in the last year. The event takes place bi-monthly in the exciting space: Parallel (formerly known as Paradiso Noord) and has hosted events at Paradiso too. Previous guests of the night include: Interplanetary Criminal, Special Request, Nightslugs, Two Shell, Pangaea, Kikelomo, Mad Miran, Jamz Supernova, Ploy, Skin on Skin, Mixtress, Conducta and many more.
