First up: Budapest
Budapest is kicking off the party on September 13th at a venue that's nothing short of impressive: Arzenál. This iconic club, with a warehouse feel and top-notch acoustics, is tucked away in the industrial area of Budapest (easy to reach by tram 2B). Arzenál has hosted plenty of underground, techno and drum & bass events, so you know you're in good hands.
The lineup
And this is one night you definitely don't want to miss! Expect a lineup of globally recognised headliners, paired with a specially curated selection of local talent, all coming together to celebrate Budapest's unique story and sounds.
Leading the charge is UK drum & bass star HEDEX, no stranger to Hungary; he rocked the stage at A38 back in 2019. Known for high-energy shows, he is set to deliver an experience that Hungarian fans won't soon forget.
Next up, we've got Charlie Tee, a London-based DJ and producer known for her energetic sets and for hosting BBC Radio 1’s flagship drum & bass show. Following her is Latte, an up-and-coming drum & bass DJ, also from the UK, whose mixes are packed with the most hype and fierce jump-up beats you'll ever hear.
Joining them are local artists Bug, a drum & bass DJ representing Hungary's thriving grassroots scene, and Shaymi, another rising star already making waves at festivals, club nights, and radio stations.
Workshops
By day, Budapest's leading figures in club culture will join forces with the Burn Energy Tour to host a series of free workshops designed for emerging talents in the industry. Don’t miss the chance to attend an insightful talk on building communities through radio, featuring Lahmacun Radio founder Peter Bokor and UK-based DJ and BBC Radio 1 presenter Charlie Tee. The session will be a radical exploration of the topic, alongside the values of dance music culture. Attendees will walk away with hands-on skills for building communities that support local nightlife and music scenes.
