Phuture and 808 State head up a night of acid house at London’s Koko

Phuture and 808 State to celebrate acid house at London's Koko

All the 303 you could possibly want in one night.

Legendary Chicago outfit Phuture are to make a rare London appearance in October alongside 808 State as part of a celebration of all things acid house.

Phuture, made up of DJ Pierre, Spanky and now ex-member Herb J, created what is widely held to be one of the first acid house tracks, 1987’s ‘Acid Tracks’. The night will see them perform a live set full of TB-303 action.

The party also features UK acid house heroes 808 State, who formed in Manchester the same year as Phuture’s seminal record was released. They will also perform a live set that includes founding member Graham Massey.

Taking place at Camden’s Koko venue on October 8, the line-up also includes performances from Planet Mu boss Mike Paradinas in his μ-Ziq guise, Robert Babicz, who records under the name Bob Acid, and veteran 303 mangler Ceephax Acid Crew. Phuture’s DJ Pierre will also perform a solo set at the party.

Tickets for the event, which is being hosted by The Playground, are on sale now from the promoter’s website.
