THE DJ HARVEY REVIVES LEGENDARY RULIN PARTY AT MINISTRY OF SOUND FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY

The summer event will be the seminal selector’s only UK show in 2026, landing August 22nd. 

DJ Harvey is set to perform his only UK show of 2026  this summer at Ministry of Sound. Forming part of the club’s 35th anniversary programme, the event, taking place on August 22nd, also sees the return of the club’s seminal Rulin series for the first time in over a decade, marking a momentous moment in the dance music calendar. 

 

It’s been 35 years since Rulin MoS was launched and I was one of its resident DJ’s. To celebrate, for one weekend only we’re bringing it back. I’ve been given the keys to the club and partnered with Ministry of Sound & Rulin's original founder. Together we’ve put together an incredible lineup, some DJs that played Rulin way back when and others that embody the free spirit and sound of Rulin today. I’m playing an open to close set in the box and cannot wait. In 35 years time you won’t wanna say you weren’t there, trust me!” - DJ Harvey 

 

Intertwined both with the history of the club and DJ Harvey’s career, Rulin was a defining Saturday night series that built a cult following in the 90s. With Harvey as the central resident, the hedonistic night was known for its expansive sound and eclectic crowds, playing an influential role in the culture of London’s club scene at the end of the century. 

 

Now widely regarded as a singular figure in dance music, DJ Harvey’s Rulin sets at Ministry of Sound marked a formative chapter in the early development of a career that would go on to achieve near-mythical status.

 

Known for his marathon sets that draw on a lifetime spent immersed in music scenes all over the world, Harvey is celebrated for a defining style that is uniquely his own. His genre-spanning selections frequently traverse everything from disco to rock, techno and acid, delivered with an attitude and aura that magnetise the dance floor.

 

It’s an honour to welcome back DJ Harvey for the return of Rulin. Three decades later, we’re back where it all started, in the newly renovated space. There’s no better way to celebrate the club’s history. ” - Matt Long, Club Director 

 

This show will be Harvey’s first appearance at Ministry of Sound since 2019 and his first London performance in over a year, uniting three pillars of London club culture and global dance history for one night only.

CLOSER FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES EUROPEAN DEBUT IN BOSNIA WITH FIRST EDITION IN THE SHADOWS OF LIVNO’S KAMENSKO MOUNTAIN RANGE

Heavyweight techno lineup features the likes of Alarico, Daria Kolosova, Dax J, Yanamaste, Stef Mendesidis, BLANKA, Estella Boersma, SLAM and many more

Australia's cult CLOSER Festival is set to make its European debut this summer, as influential underground talent SPEZ brings the concept to Bosnia & Herzegovina for the first time with an inaugural edition in Livno taking place from 24th-26th July 2026. Next to world class music, this cultured escape offers a mix of natural beauty, wild horses, lake swimming and plenty more. 

Founded as an extension of SPEZ’s wider vision through Warg Records, CLOSER has previously established itself in Australia with legendary events across Sydney, Perth and Melbourne. The move into Europe marks a bold but natural next step for the project: Livno holds particular importance as SPEZ’s hometown, so ensures the festival is underpinned with a strong personal as well as cultural context.

Set against a striking natural backdrop beside one of Europe’s largest man-made lakes and beneath the Kamensko mountain range, the fully camping-based festival will welcome 5,000 attendees with multiple camping options available. The blissful site will feature swimming access, lakeside bars and restaurants with a dedicated wellness and social space called “Ritam Kahve” (or “The Rhythm of Coffee”), where traditional Bosnian coffee will be served each morning ahead of carefully curated musical programming.

Musically, CLOSER will present two immersive stages: a main stage hosting international artists, and a dedicated CLOSER stage focused on exciting emerging & underground talent, curated takeovers and label showcases. The featured hosts are Frazi.er's PLTFRM, Amsterdam’s techno crew Vault Sessions, and Manchester’s Clergy Records — Cleric’s renowned imprint known for its uncompromising contribution to techno culture.

The lineup reflects a full and essential spectrum of contemporary techno with influential artists including Colin Benders (Live), Cleric, Daria Kolosova, Dax J, SLAM, Estella Boersma, Ignez, Yanamaste & more alongside a strong selection of emerging names.

Beyond the music, the festival will incorporate rare, unmissable experiences tied to the local landscape including organised excursions to see Livno’s wild horses in the nearby Cincar mountain range.

Since its inception, CLOSER has hosted respected labels such as Clergy Records and Mutual Rytm and was also recognised by the Victorian Government in 2023 as a festival of cultural significance, and is one of the scene's most respected and discerning brands. 

With its first European edition taking place from 24th-26th July, CLOSER continues to build long-term infrastructure for techno culture through innovative international programming and a strong focus on local culture that allows the festival to stand apart in its own right.

INNELLEA SHARES FULL EDC VEGAS 2026 PERFORMANCE ON YOUTUBE

From Heelys and live German vocals to unreleased IDs and hand-burned CDs, Innellea turned EDC’s Quantum Valley stage into something radically personal.

Internationally renowned German artist Innellea has officially released the full YouTube stream of his highly talked-about performance at EDC Las Vegas, offering fans a complete look at one of the weekend’s most distinctive and emotionally charged sets.

 

Performing on the iconic Quantum Valley stage, the set quickly became a standout moment of the festival; not just because of oversized spectacle, but because Innellea approached one of the world’s biggest electronic stages with something increasingly rare: personality, spontaneity and sincerity.

Before the music even began, Innellea rolled onto the stage wearing his now-trademark Heelys, immediately shifting the energy in the crowd and setting the tone for a characterful performance that refused to follow convention.

Throughout the set, Innellea delivered his own live vocals over his own music in German, bringing a raw, punk-driven intensity rarely seen in a festival environment of that scale in the US. Built entirely around his own material and unreleased IDs, there were no featured guests or pre-packaged moments, just Innellea performing in real time, fully immersed in his own world.

 

In one of the night’s most unexpected moments, Innellea threw self-burned “Slave to the Hype” CD-ROMs into the crowd – a physical, DIY gesture dropped into the middle of modern festival culture. Equal parts artifact, statement and souvenir, the moment quickly became emblematic of the set’s anti-formula spirit.

 

As the performance came to a close, Innellea paused to speak directly to the audience, reflecting on how meaningful and surreal the experience felt. Without theatrics or scripted fanfare, the closing message landed as one of the most human moments of the weekend. Now available in full on YouTube, the set captures an artist choosing connection over convention, transforming the scale of EDC Las Vegas into something intimate, emotional, and unmistakably his own.

 

Beyond the release of his EDC Vegas performance, Innellea now continues a major international run of live shows across Europe and North America, including two standout belonging label showcases at Fabric London and Knockdown Center NYC. The forthcoming dates arrive as momentum around Innellea’s live concept continues to grow, with recent performances increasingly defined by unreleased music, live vocals, and unpredictable crowd moments that blur the line between club set and live show.
