Music : All Music

Eclectricity returns to the Custard Factory with a boutique festival of contemporary music and performing arts set in the heart of industrial Digbeth!

Our music policy is simple….we have no room for musical snobbery and welcome all great forms of contemporary music..

For this unique event, the whole of the Custard Factory complex is to be utilised, with Gibb Street being cordoned off, making way for an array of music areas and other activities. This will create a festival with a capacity of 4,000 with over 5 rooms of music and other activities! With two massive main arenas, expect a big room, festival feel with high levels of production that still maintains a degree of intimacy and a unique vibe….

The lake (normally a pool of water situated directly in the middle of the Custard Factory complex) will be drained and a luxury heated marquee and production put in its place to act as the Bacardi B Live Arena. Cut and paste expert DJ YODA will headline, performing one of his legendary AV sets; that combines visuals, music, comedy and turntablism into a unique, mindblowing performance. Added to this is an exclusive DJ set from SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO whom have a foot in both indy and dance camps - with their productions combining the dynamics of rock with the propulsive groove of house music! With support from the inimitable EVIL NINE, one of the hottest producers of recent times SWITCH and a semi live performance from the BLACK GHOSTS (DJ TOUCHE on the decks with SIMON LORD on vocals). Expect to see indy kids shocking out to electronic music and dance kids moshing out to live bands…. A true testament to how contemporary music of today is evolving and how much cross over appeal there is in electronic and live music.

In addition a 2,000 capacity former engineering warehouse unit will act as the second main arena playing host to SPECTRUM. The world’s best breaks night of 2006 adds a diverse range of contemporary music styles from Hip Hop to Breaks to Drum n Bass to the line up. Headlining is one of the biggest dance outfits of recent times, the critically acclaimed PENDULUM….well known at the Custard Factory for their DJ sets; that have been responsible for several sold out shows in the past. In support former DMC world Champions THE SCRATCH PERVERTS will be supporting with a full onslaught of party tunes and deck wizardry on 6 turntables, 4 CDJS and 3 mixers. Added to the bill is one of the hottest producers in drum and bass - TC and his live band will be in full force with Distorted Minds, MC Jakes and Hannah Colllins all part of the performance. Added to this monster of a bill is Radio One’s FABIO, MEAT KATIE and a whole host of other acts.

The Factory Club space will play host to Disorder with Space, Ibiza resident and world class producer PAUL WOOLFORD for those who like their underground house, minimal and techno! With support from REBEKAH and the Disorder residents!

Local night Bigger than Barry, that has been recently making waves on the Birmingham scene will be representing in the Kitchen with a unique mash up of party music which spans indy, electro, grime, funk and whatever else. Rooty Fruity on Gibb Street will also be part of this massive event with several local outfits such as No No, Avant Garde and Dex in the City all having a sound clash and of course a huge party in the process!
