Rizla host big bash to celebrate another storming year for the Invisible Players

This article is about The Rizla End of Year Party @ East Village in London (UK), Fri 14 Nov 2008

The 2008 tour has played host to such legends as Graeme Park, Hot Chip and Maurice Fulton, and the line-up for this shindig promises to close the year off in true banging style.

In the main room, getting proceedings underway are much-hyped London pair Heartbreak who’ll be treating us to a rare DJ set. Fusing the modernity of electro with the melodic drama of early 80s Italo Disco, their powerful synth-pop has been described by Vice magazine as “how the ’80s would sound today if the ’90s hadn’t got in the way”.

East Village resident and part of London’s legendary Faith collective, Stuart Patterson, will take over the controls ensuring the dancefloor is in top gear for the arrival of Chicago house legend Derrick Carter. Derrick, an internationally recognised big hitter and one of the pinnacles of the 90’s House scene, will get pulses racing as he brings the party to a close.

Upstairs, two of London’s legendary record labels go head to head as Heavenly Jukebox jump into the booth alongside the boys from 1965 Records.

Next up are a massively popular Dundee based DJ duo, Autodisco DJ’s who played the Rizla Arena at Rockness Festival packing the dancefloor to capacity. Headlining upstairs will be electrofunk maestro and Invisible Player Greg Wilson with his unique rare edits and samples.

Greg Wilson had this to say: "It's been a really incredible year, the whole tour generated such energy and positivity, culminating in the massive mudfest that was Bestival! I can't wait to round things off with this big London finale, and look forward to seeing lots of familiar faces out on the dancefloor.”
