MICHAEL CANITROT RETURNS WITH ‘RENAISSANCE’, A CINEMATIC FUSION OF EMOTION AND ENERGY

Michael Canitrot, the creative force behind the Monumental Tour, returns with ‘Renaissance’, a cinematic progressive house track that fuses driving energy with the hypnotic textures of melodic techno. Inspired by his sold-out shows — from Château de Chambord to Luxembourg — the track channels the euphoria and grandeur of his recent performances into a powerful new chapter released on his own imprint. ‘Renaissance’ will be available on all platforms starting Friday, October 24.

Canitrot adds an extra layer to his recent performances at Château de Chambord and Rockhal in Luxembourg with ‘Renaissance’. The track perfectly reflects his signature approach of blending heritage with cutting-edge technology, complementing his audiovisual shows while allowing iconic locations to shine. Its mesmerizing layers create an immersive, cinematic experience, while the pulsing momentum makes it a perfect fit for the dancefloor.

“I wanted to translate the emotion I felt performing at Chambord – that sense of rebirth and creative freedom. ‘Renaissance’ is a track about transformation, about reconnecting with beauty and history while looking forward,” Michael says.

Having captivated audiences during the grand reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris and Paris Saint-Germain’s French Championship title celebration, Michael proves once again his unique ability to move a crowd – a talent that ‘Renaissance’ only amplifies. The track is set to shine in his enchanting sets, with upcoming shows in London (Troxy), Basel (Nordstern), and Dublin (Block).

Michael Canitrot is a visionary DJ and producer renowned for transforming iconic locations into unforgettable audiovisual experiences. He made history last year with a breathtaking performance at the grand reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris, an event that reached over 1 billion viewers worldwide.

Since then, Michael has continued to take his Monumental Tour across Europe, creating spectacular shows at landmarks including the Eiffel Tower, Mont-Saint-Michel, Madrid’s Plaza Mayor, and recently Château de Chambord, where part of the proceeds supported the castle’s restoration. Known for his unique ability to merge heritage with cutting-edge technology, Michael’s performances combine cinematic storytelling with progressive house and melodic techno, delivering immersive experiences that captivate audiences on a global scale.

EUTOPIA WAREHOUSE: EAST LONDON’S NEW 4000-CAPACITY MUSIC, ARTS & CULTURAL DESTINATION

Eutopia fully awakens this Halloween - transforming its interconnected warehouses and canal-side courtyard into a living, breathing cultural playground.

East London’s famous nocturnal landscape is set for transformation with the arrival of Eutopia - a bold new 4,000-capacity indoor–outdoor music, arts and cultural space set across three interlinked warehouses and a sprawling open-air courtyard on the River Roding in Barking.

Following a £1.5 million reimagining of a former industrial site, Eutopia blends raw architectural heritage with contemporary design and world-class d&b Audiotechnik sound systems. A series of soft launch test events have already taken place at the site which is now fully operational. The result is a multi-dimensional venue built for exploration - where music, art and community collide under one roof and out into the open air.

Designed as a flexible, future-facing hub for the next generation of London’s cultural landscape, Eutopia will host everything from large-scale live shows, club events and festivals to exhibitions and local community events - each experience shaped by high-spec production, immersive design, and a community-first ethos.

Eutopia has already enlisted some of the most respected names in UK and international music culture. Promoters confirmed for the first wave of programming include; 51st State Festival, AEG, Appetite, Back to 95 (25th Anniversary), Breakin Science, Centerforce, Dance On Arrival, HOWL, Moon Dance, Recess, Sankeys, Space Ibiza, World Dance and Zulu Nation, spanning everything from minimal and house to bass, Afro, amapiano and beyond.

Eutopia is multi-dimensional venue consisting of four large-scale arenas; 

• The Yard (1700 capacity) sits by the river - an open-air playground of sound, light and energy. With full staging, a bespoke pergola installation, raised dance platforms and elevated viewing areas, it’s designed for both intimacy and impact. Lined with seasonal foliage, art installations and street food traders, The Yard brings festival-scale atmosphere to a permanent East London setting. From sunlit afternoons to high-energy nights, The Yard is a place to explore, eat, dance and get lost. Inside, three unique warehouses each offer a distinct experience and capacity.

• WHS 1 (800 capacity) - An immersive, tunnel-like room inspired by the golden age of New York club culture and London’s underground heritage. Precision-tuned d&b Audiotechnik sound, raised dance platforms and bespoke lighting make it the heartbeat of Eutopia.

• WHS 2 (1,200 capacity) - A vast, reconfigurable space built for scale and versatility. With both 360° and end-stage formats, it’s designed for club nights, live concerts, brand launches and large-scale cultural events.

• WHS 3 (800 capacity) - The most intimate and design-led of the trio, this warehouse will host curated performances, exhibitions and social gatherings. The next phase of development will see WHS 3 evolve into a cocktail bar and listening space, hosting listening sessions, label launches and community-focused culture and lifestyle events.

Eutopia is led by a powerhouse team with more than a century of combined experience across music, events and culture:

• Michael Hughes - A pioneering figure in UK club culture and radio, founder of landmark events Garage City, Back to 95 and Groove Odyssey, and a long-standing advocate for authentic house music.

• Nikki Gordon - Co-founder of We Are FSTVL and former Head of Ministry of Sound, bringing almost three decades of creative and operational leadership.

• Will Paterson - Veteran promoter behind over 20 festivals and 11 London venues, known for his work in artist development, large-scale events and mentoring future talent.

• Tom Ranger - Acclaimed curator and programmer behind Dreamland Margate, Oval Space, Annabel’s, Percolate Live and Live Nation’s Soundcrash division, now consulting and programming events globally through Something Goes Right.

Combining world-class production with a community-first vision, Eutopia is set to redefine large-scale venues in London - a creative sanctuary built from the bones of East London’s industrial past, looking firmly to the future. Eutopia opens fully from Halloween 2025.
