Sven Vath, Ilario Alicante, Dana Ruh at Motion in Bristol on Friday 20 Dec 2019
Known on the scene as 'Papa Sven', Sven Vath returns to Bristol on 20th December alongside two artists with whom he has shared multiple billings; Ilario Alicante and Dana Ruh.
Having founded the monumental imprint Cocoon Recordings, Sven has gone on to curate a plethora of Cocoon events and festivals, inviting new and established names to share the stage with him. A legend in his own right, Sven's return to Motion marks a truly unmissable date.
With a sound that touches on the tougher side of techno, Italian producer Ilario Alicante is one of the most respected artists on the global techno realm. Having released a solid body of work on Cocoon Recordings over the years, it's very much a family affair for Sven's stop in Bristol.
Dana Ruh has followed an astonishing trajectory, building a reputation as an impeccable selector and accomplished producer. Like Ilario, Dana has released an amalgam of minimalist productions which also veer towards rolling techno on Sven’s iconic label. Room 1’s sound system will receive a thorough workout, no doubt.
Tickets cost £33.93 and are available online here.
Consistently rated among the world’s best club venues and regarded as a pillar of UK club culture, Motion stands head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to Bristol nightlife. Sat in a sparse industrial estate, the 4,000-capacity venue has thrived on Avon Street for the past decade.
Inside, the club is an industrious matrix of old warehouse space. Almost deliberately sparse and dark, Motion lets its bookings do the talking. Armed with top equipment and immersive staging capabilities, the venue has hosted some of the world’s most exciting artists over the years. Events are packed; DJ sets are intense and high energy, but Bristol wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s the ultimate club to experience the city's unwavering love of electronic sound and pioneering promoters.
