After 30 years of creating defining moments in electronic music, Time Warp has finally found a fitting home for its Los Angeles debut at Ace*Mission Studios.

LA DISCOTHÈQUE SECURES MAJOR INVESTMENT FROM ESCAPISM TO FUEL WORLDWIDE GROWTH FOLLOWING SUCCESSFUL 10TH YEAR

As the first in a series of six global investments planned by Escapism, the partnership scales the celebrated 10-year-old UK brand into North America, Europe, and Asia

WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM

Celebrating “A Decade of Disco”, influential event series La Discothèque marks its 10th anniversary with new and substantial investment from Escapism, the electronic music brand and family office led by Dez Derry. 

Derry, who manages an eight-figure family office fund focusing on electronic dance music brands that target an older demographic, has selected La Discothèque as the first investment in a portfolio he is building, with the goal of completing six deals globally over the next three years. The investment will fund the brand's expansion into new international markets including North America, Europe and Asia.

Founded and led by Kat Warburton, who will continue as CEO to drive global expansion and scale the business, La Discothèque has spent the past decade building one of the UK's most respected disco brands. They mark this 10-year landmark with two huge Anniversary shows at The Warehouse Project and Drumsheds this November, and, most recently, a monumental July residency at 528 Ibiza. This milestone year now sets the stage for the brand's next chapter, taking La Discothèque beyond the UK into new regions where interest in the brand has already been building.

The investment will support the expansion of Kat’s team, providing La Discothèque with the infrastructure to run multiple shows simultaneously. This will allow the brand to meet growing international demand while preserving the core values and ethos that have defined its first decade.

Kat Warburton, founder of La Discothèque shares:

“I’m incredibly proud to have taken La Discothèque to its 10th Anniversary. A decade of building, pushing boundaries and throwing some seriously unforgettable parties. It’s taken hard work, creativity, innovation and resilience, but above all, it’s been driven by an incredible community and the relationships we’ve built along the way. 

The investment from Escapism gives us the opportunity to take La Discothèque to the next level, elevating every part of the brand, expanding into new markets and bringing our vision to audiences around the world. We’ve got big ambitions for the next 10 years. This is just the beginning!”

Says Dez Derry founder of Escapism, "Escapism backs music brands that have already proven themselves, and La Discothèque has done exactly that over a historic 10 years. We're not here to change what already works. We're here to give Kat and her team the platform to take the unique La Discothèque experience to the rest of the world."

To complete this year's anniversary celebrations, La Discothèque has a packed run of shows ahead including a 5-room takeover at The Warehouse Project and a return to the 15,000 capacity Drumsheds following its previous sold-out show there, both taking place this November. Meanwhile, Escapism, which focuses on hosting events in unique locations, launches its sold-out debut event on 10th October at the iconic Victoria Baths, featuring headliners Deep Dish alongside Smokin Jo & Pattn.

Music and live entertainment specialists Brian Doyle and Ben Stoter of Ross Bennett Smith served as M&A advisors to Dez Derry’s family office, managing the structuring, financial due diligence, and execution of the transaction. Pearse Connery and Ethan Turner of JMW Solicitors served as legal counsel for the deal.

ANOTR, JAMIE JONES AND MAHMUT ORHAN TO PERFORM ON BAKU’S WATERFRONT FOR F1 WEEKEND AT APEX AFTER DARK OPEN AIR

FOMO Baku, Baku City Circuit and iTicket unite for three official Azerbaijan Grand Prix nights in a spectacular 2,500-capacity open-air waterfront setting overlooking the Caspian Sea

FOMO Baku is taking its Formula 1 weekend celebrations outdoors for the first time this September, with ANOTR, Jamie Jones and Mahmut Orhan set to headline three huge open-air events from 24th-26th September during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend.

For this special Grand Prix weekend, a 2,500 capacity open-air venue directly on Baku Boulevard and the Caspian Sea has been confirmed for APEX AFTER DARK OPEN AIR. The waterfront setting creates an incredible backdrop for three evenings of electronic music in the heart of Baku.

The purpose-built setting will combine FOMO’s high-impact production with open-air views across the Caspian Sea, bringing a new dimension to the venue for one of the biggest weekends in the city’s calendar.

Running across practice, qualifying and race day, APEX will bring three major names in electronic music to the city for three very different nights, creating a new destination for the thousands of international visitors descending on Baku for Formula 1 weekend.

Kicking things off on Thursday 24th September, ANOTR will take control of the waterfront for a sunset session showcasing the full spectrum of their sound. Expect the Amsterdam duo to move effortlessly between rolling house, disco, funk, soul and deeper late-night cuts as daylight disappears over the Caspian.

On Friday 25th September, Jamie Jones steps up ahead of race day. Hot Creations founder, Hot Natured member and the DJ who shaped Circoloco at DC-10 across two decades, Jones arrives mid-season from Ibiza. He will bring the unmistakable energy of his Paradise parties to FOMO’s outdoor setting. With thousands gathered on Baku Boulevard and anticipation building across the city, expect rolling grooves, deep house and peak-time records built for a packed open-air dancefloor.

The weekend reaches its finale on Saturday 26th September, as Mahmut Orhan closes the run on race day itself, taking over within hours of the chequered flag. After headlining the final night of FOMO’s 2025 Grand Prix weekend, Orhan returns to Baku for an even bigger open-air show, bringing his signature fusion of electronic music, melodic house and globally influenced sounds.

Anastasia Hajiyeva, FOMO Baku Co-founder says "We didn't want to just throw a party for Grand Prix weekend, we wanted to give Baku something it's never seen. APEX AFTER DARK takes everything FOMO has built inside the club and moves it out onto Baku Boulevard, right on the water's edge, with ANOTR, Jamie Jones and Mahmut Orhan headlining three nights that'll define the weekend. This is Baku stepping onto the map.” 

APEX represents the next step for FOMO, taking the experience beyond the walls of the club for the first time and placing it against the backdrop of Baku Boulevard, with three nights built around the energy and spectacle of Formula 1 weekend.

Tickets are available via iTicket. More information and tickets here: https://fomo-last-version-iythirgs.on-forge.com/apex
