ESSENCE OF CHI CELEBRATES 5 YEARS OF VIBES

Essence of Chi was born in South London in February 2004, and since its beginning has become one of the fastest growing Drum & Bass promotions of the last few years.They throw parties that combine all angles of drum n bass from deep to dancefloor with an electric atmosphere, whilst paying special attention to sound, light, space, and of course the all-important quality DJ and MC line up fused together to achieve the perfect balance.

From humble beginnings in Brixton's Plan B, EOC progressed to bigger & more challenging ventures as time went by...from packing out their Birthday parties at the Scala & Hidden, to attracting queues round the block for their events at the infamous Herbal in Shoreditch.

They have held tour parties around the UK in places such as Leeds, Oxford, Brighton, Guildford and Portsmouth, and hosted Arenas at some of London's most prestigious drum n bass events, including Renegade Hardware v Valve during Carnival 2006, the Baby Box and Bar at the Ministry of Sound for their in house d&b nights Fuse and Switch, a whole weekend at Innovation in the Sun 2008 alongside Rotation, and of course the legendary Moondance where they have proudly hosted the EOC Arena 7 times in a row since 2005.

One of their most recent proud achievements was a charity event held in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support in October 2008 , which was also a huge farewell party for original Essence of Chi resident MC & Co-founder LowQui who has recently emmigrated to Australia. The event, held at EOC's birthplace Plan B included the likes of Goldie, Storm, Doc Scott, Skream + various other EOC residents and friends and was a huge success, attracting ravers from as far away as Dubai and Germany to wish LowQui "Bon Voyage".

As EOC celebrate their Fifth year in the business, 2009 looks set to be yet another stormer for the London party people including a nomination at the Official Drum n Bass Awards for Best Club Night for the Second Year Running, their return to Innovation in the Sun in June and an extra special 5th Birthday party set to take place on Easter Sunday at Brixton's finest, Plan B.
