Hybrid
Hybrid, global superstars, Sasha cohort and synonymous with headlining massive events worldwide, will be making their long awaited Platform 12 debut and what a time to do it. If ever there was a dance act that conjured up the very feeling of heightened emotion it would be Hybrid, so how very fitting they’ll be down to play at Platform 12 on NYE.

Cicada
Joining Hybrid will be Cicada, where musically, references have been made to the likes of Blondie, Can, New Order, The Sugarcubes, The Cocteau Twins, Daft Punk and Quincy Jones, and have previously rocked Platform 12 where they played live back in May. Cicada are a truly unique proposition, melding their influences into a wholly original sound has made them a unique prospect for the late noughties – the kind of band that the rock kids ‘get’ just as much as club kids do.

The Rogue Element
The Rogue Element, winner of Breakspoll’s best breakthrough producer in 2005 then best producer & best remixer in 2006, has gone on to have a series of club smashes including Fat Boy Slim’s Star 69 remix and has remixed just about everyone from The Crystal Method to Krafty Kuts. Simply put, there is no more exciting talent emerging from breaks than The Rogue Element and you can be sure that he’ll be showcasing all the new material from his highly anticipated 2nd album

Alex Metric Size matters, and by any standard of measurement, Alex Metric's talent is large, as made clear by the release of his new artist e.p. Whatshewants. At just 26 years of age, Marine Parade's newest signing has made a big splash as both DJ and producer. He's played gigs spanning the globe from Fabric in London to Eastern European festivals to Los Angeles clubs, and developed a significant rep for his work in the studio assisting superstars ranging from Darren Emerson to Adam Freeland - producing his next album.

Spin Out Records
Supporting this illustrious quintet will be DJs from Spin Out Records, Platform 12’s favourite label of 2007, Alex Collings, London favourite & resident DJ at the hugely popular Dirtbox event at Turnmills and Platform 12 resident DJs Reveal, Clay Hey, Microlovr, Fava Faaade and Euan McGrath.

All in all, they’re putting together the kind of event that not alone befits the occasion of Platform 12 NYE but perhaps, more fittingly, the end of an era for London clubbing, with the last ever party @ The key. With a knowing attention to detail for musical programming, décor, lighting and attracting the kind of crowd that makes any event special, Platform 12 NYE really is the hottest ticket in town.
