The new London festival promises a “deeper exploration of transatlantic sounds”.
The team behind London’s Found has announced another new festival called 51st State, which will explore house music’s roots with a selection of DJs from the worlds of garage, disco, soul, dub, dancehall and more.
As well as headliners Masters At Work, the festival features celebrated veterans DJ Sneak, Dennis Ferrer, Todd Terry, Derrick Carter, David Morales, and Dimitri From Paris exploring house music across the main stage and the Groove Odyssey stage.
Other stages include BackTo95, which explores the atmosphere of the ’90s London club scene with Grant Nelson and DJ Luck & MC Neat, the Caribbean-influenced Hot Wuk Carnival headed up by bashment outfit The Heatwave, and a VIP stage hosted by London collective Future Disco featuring Horse Meat Disco and Romare. London soul night We Love Soul will also host its own stage, with Norman Jay MBE headlining.
The festival takes place on August 8 at Trent Park in Cockfosters, London. For full details and tickets, visit the 51st State website.
