La Rumba: Ross From Friends, Demi Riquísimo, Amaliah, Flock, 7 Percent

Ross From Friends from June 2022.

This time we're packing an extra punch with 3 rooms of action featuring Semi Delicious boss, Demi Riquísimo and Borne Fruits queen, Amaliah, plus a Janksy takeover from Flock with Aisling, and Mesters action with the hottest b2b2b from Zubz, Rubes, and Roof, A.K.A. 7 Percent.

First emerging onto the scene with his woozy, nostalgic, and synth-pumped sounds taken from euphoric 80s house and reworked into a new form of electronic music, Ross From Friends led the lo-fi charge. It all began in 2017 for the producer - real name Felix Clary Weatherall - who ran with the likes of DJ Seinfeld, Mall Grab, and DJ Boring, transforming lo-fi from a fad-inclined microgenre to a fully realised dance music phenomenon. Still flying high from his 2021 album release, ‘Tread’, Weatherall has endless energy to give us a stellar performance in December.

Closing the main room is the Borne Fruits label head, Amaliah. The exciting London based Rinse FM regular is seen as one of the UK's most exciting artists, hybridizing modern house and techno sounds with global club cuts rooted in a love of soundsystem culture.

Thirdly, ready to tear up Hope Works' Janksy room is the Detroit-raised, London-based Demi Riquísimo on his Sheffield debut hosted by Flock with Aisling. The Italo house 'don is quickly gaining worldwide recognition for his standout acid, squelchy and disco-inspired sonic palette with support from the likes of Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Danny Howard, Artwork, Optimo, Skream, Tom Trago and many more.

Taking over Mesters is Sheffield’s latest heavyweight trio, 7 Percent, made up of Zubz, Rubes, and Roof, who have individually been making waves across the North of England sharing their high NRG, face-scrunching sounds. Dress to sweat for this one.

Support comes from La Rumba alongside Raze on Sound for 6 hours of high-octane, world-class dance music.
