House | Tuesday 28th July 2015 | Christina
Ceremony just got bigger, with Skepta and DJ Marky added to the already epic line-up.
Returning to Finsbury Park for a second year on Saturday 12th September, Found Presents: Ceremony Festival 2015, completes a string of five festivals taking place across London this summer from Found Series. Celebrating 360° of electronic music past, present and future, Ceremony will bring leading figures in club culture from across the globe to close the summer festival season.
Headlining Ceremony's main stage are The Martinez Brothers, playing a London festival exclusive for summer 2015! Raised on their father's love of New York's Paradise Garage, the brothers' taste for classic house sounds encapsulates everything Ceremony aims to showcase - innovation, energy, and a wealth of musical heritage. Pushing this concept further is long-serving house DJ and producer Armand Van Helden, whose exclusive classic 90s set will explore his deep-rooted affiliation with New York's club scene.
Fellow American and Hot Creations label owner Lee Foss will be on-hand to represent the techno sounds of his hometown of Chicago. Elusive Parisian Shiba San will also feature with support also coming from one half of No Fit State label owner Geddes and the legendary Artwork.
Following what promises to be his biggest Ibiza season to date, Found Series favourite DJ Sneak brings his I'm A House Gangster movement to host Ceremony's second arena, joined by some of his closest allies. Todd Terry and Harry Romero help to make up a bill that represents some of house music's most influential producers alongside the legendary talents of Doc Martin. amme.
Having featured at last year's inaugural edition, Santé and Sidney Charles will return to Ceremony Festival with a special AVOTRE stage takeover. Heavily supported by Found since its inception, the label's main men are renowned for their electrifying back-to-back sets that are constantly jam-packed with heavy club rollers.
Tipping their cap to powerful and ongoing influence of UK garage on the electronic world, is Ceremony's Heritage stage, which will be fronted by one of the godfathers of garage house, Todd Edwards. Former frontman of The Streets and bonafide legend of the UK scene, Mike Skinner, will also feature alongside the duo-alias of Scott Garcia and Sticky's Foundation - two of the most influential names in UKG.
After resounding popularity of their showcase at Urban Nerds stage at last year's Ceremony, Tropical fly the flag for grime and have now been let loose with a whole arena to themselves. Lead by one half of collective and label Boy Better Know, JME will be joined by Preditah, C4, Plastician, Logan Sama, Slimzee, and Novelist.
