About this event

---

PRESS PLAY - 3 YEAR BIRTHDAY Press Play celebrates 3 years of parties with a special birthday edition, marking the journey so far with a line-up that reflects the sound, energy and identity of the brand. To mark the occasion, we welcome two standout headliners. Archie HamiltonArchie Hamilton is one of the most respected artists in modern underground house and techno, recognised as an early originator of a new European minimal sound. His productions and DJ sets are defined by rugged basslines, stripped-back grooves and ethereal atmospherics, a signature style that has become firmly embedded in club culture worldwide. Now one of the most in-demand touring DJs in the scene, Archie has played across the globe - from closing the Space Terrace at Miami Music Week, to a full summer schedule in Ibiza at Circoloco, Music On, Solid Grooves and Paradise, as well as major international festivals including Sunwaves, Caprices, Kappa Futur, Creamfields and Awakenings. His sound is firmly rooted in the dancefloor, refined through years of consistency, innovation and technical precision. Dr BananaA record connoisseur, label boss and highly respected selector, Dr Banana is known for his light-hearted, left-field approach and deep, unpredictable record bags. With roots firmly in UK garage, he runs a globally recognised label releasing forward-thinking cuts from new producers alongside carefully curated reissues from the genre's golden era. Far from being confined to one sound, Dr Banana's sets move fluidly across house, electro, minimal and techno, adapting effortlessly to the room. Whether playing cross-genre party sets, straight-up club shellers or more stripped-back selections, his DJing is defined by versatility, sharp instincts and an infectious energy behind the decks. Now established as one of the UK's most in-demand selectors, Dr Banana has taken his sound worldwide - from intimate venues like Berlin's Hoppetosse to major stages such as Glastonbury, as well as iconic clubs including fabric, Art Club Closer (Kyiv) and Khidi / Bassiani-adjacent spaces in Georgia, cementing his reputation as a DJ who can deliver wherever the crowd and setting demand Completing the line-up are Press Play residents who have been part of the journey since the beginning: Claudio Rampling, Dan Skinner and Reece Quinn, each of whom has played a key role across the last three years.
