Elation have teamed up with the mighty All-4-1 to create a force never seen before in the Hardcore scene. The cream of the underground Hardcore crop have finally come together to create the true "Critical Mass" - a collective of awakened DJs, MCs, Producers and Promoters whose combined artistic influence will initiate a self perpetuating shift in hardcore conciousness. We represent the very best of the whole spectrum of hardcore, brought together to drive the scene to the most unimaginable heights. We have no leaders, and our only goal is to create and play the very best music for the scene we all love.
We wish to thank every single raver who packed out our 5th Birthday celebrations in our new venue, Club Jacks, and we promised that Critical Mass will be our biggest and most exciting event yet. As well as an arena of Hardcore jam-packed the most most cutting-edge DJs and Live PAs, we are proud to unveil the Elation Eclectic Lounge, where DJs are free to play the "Music That Inspired Our Generation".
