What’s On is throwing Party In The Park to celebrate its 35th anniversary, and we’ve enlisted the help of some friends. Our good pals at Hype are sprinkling an added edge of cool on the event with Dubai’s coolest clubs, DJs and urban culture junkies coming together for the first showcase of its kind. Cue epic fun at the Hype Clubhouse and Hype Village…

Over to you, guys…

After rubbing our hands in glee, we’ve put together the Hype Clubhouse and Hype Village, bringing all the good stuff you’ll find in your favourite mag to life for a brilliant ten-hour bash.

We firmly believe that Dubai’s underground club scene is worth shouting about and ten of the city’s coolest clubs have jumped on board to represent at the Hype Clubhouse in an amazing show of unity never before seen in Dubai.

If a little bit of what you fancy does you good, then you’re in for a mighty fine time, with house, tech-house, funk, soul, reggae, hip-hop, garage, UK bass, techno, drum ‘n’ bass and more all on the musical menu to get you movin’ and groovin’. Expect back-to-back sets, some old school turntablist skills (yay!); and a b-boy battle that’ll make your jaw drop.

Hype Clubhouse at Party In The Park

The promoters and DJs are as excited as we are for this clubbing showcase. “Weekends in Dubai are now an explosion of cool events,” says Superheroes promoter Sean Rutherford. “The Hype Clubhouse will capture the spirit of the scene fantastically.” Bassworx’ Tim Woodstock claims: “It’s a fantastic opportunity to get together with Dubai’s top DJs and be part of the first mixed-genre underground event.” “It’s all about spreading the music we love and showing that promoters can work together,” reasons GlobalFunk’s Ben McDonald. “Dubai and the UAE needs exposure to different genres of dance music and where better to showcase it?”

Deep Crates’ Lobito Brigante agrees it’s an ideal opportunity to “support the proliferation of underground culture”, while Analog Room promoter Mehdi Ansari is relishing the chance to “gather with fellow promoters and make contact with more music lovers”.

With our ‘perfect ten’ on board, it’s gonna be one helluva party. From kick-off to kick-out, the Hype Clubhouse will be rockin’.
