Matinée returns for an intergalactic experience to take you beyond the final frontier and into a world far, far away with a ‘Starship’ theme. OK, it’s not that far away – it’s over at Fire in Vauxhall on the Victoria Line – but if past events are anything to go by, this one will blow you into the stratosphere and into Beyond [the after-hours at Area]… literally. At last, the British Interplanetary Society across the road from Fire will have something to talk about (seriously, take a look when you leave, it’s right there!). Promoter Mauricio Ortiz reveals all…
Matinée returns with a ‘Starship’ theme. How will Fire be transformed for the night and what can people look forward to?
Fire will be unrecognisable, turned into a realm from outer space. The main room is to be transformed into the Matinée Starship, the Mirror Arch is going deep into the darkest corners of the universe and in the Fire Lounge you’ll experience the lighter side of life with the Starlight Express. I can truly say I have never been more excited for a venue transformation as I am with this one!
What can people look forward to musically? Which DJs are playing?
Musically, there will be a wide spectrum over the three rooms. The main room is the Matinée circuit sound that people know and love with headliner Lydia Sanz [Matinee Ibiza] joined by D’Johnny, Gonzalo and Fabio. The Mirror Arch goes deep and techy with sounds provided by Massimo Paramour and Maze & Masters, and the Fire Lounge is a bit more vocal and uplifting, with Zach Burns, Jamie Head and Rob Sykes on the decks.
• Matinée Starship is at Fire (South Lambeth Road, Vauxhall, SW8 1RT) on Saturday 13th April, 11pm–7am.
