Junction 2 2023. A year of rebirth, regrowth and new collaborations.
Returning to our original home, the inimitable Boston Manor Park, this year’s edition is set to be the boldest Junction 2 yet, as we gather our energy from recent years to present a collective experience to live long in the memory.
We begin the festival with an eclectic bill that bridges the gaps between strains of house, bass and techno and the classic sounds that have come before it. Notably, Underworld make their long-awaited return to London and their first performance in their home city in 4 years. Armed with new material alongside the timeless classics released across a near 40 year long career, the influence of Karl Hyde and Rick Smith on electronic music cannot be understated. The enduring effects of their no-limits sound are still felt today, so we cannot wait to welcome them to Boston Manor Park for an exclusive and very special live set.
They will be joined by the original Detroit techno icon Jeff Mills, for his long awaited Junction 2 debut. As he continues to push the boundaries of the dark art, traversing between space-age, hypnotic atmospherics and banging, destructive techno, Mills is someone who has kept dancefloors on their toes his entire career. Utilising four decks alongside his trusty 909, Jeff will no doubt take the Junction 2 faithful to places they have never been to before.
Alongside these two titans of the scene, we have a collection of DJs known for their bold, risk-taking choices behind the decks and dedication to their sound, with many playing back-to-back. These include Helena Hauff and Ben UFO, playing their first B2B for many years, which fans of their celebrated set at Sonar 2016 will be pleased to hear; house and disco masters Daphni and Hunee, whose synergy behind the decks is a joy to behold; highly respected technical wizard Objekt, who joins forces with Detroit electro legend DJ Stingray 313, Elkka teams up with Sofia Kourtesis, whilst Mall Grab and Skin on Skin go head to head, bringing with them some of the hardest hitting techno slammers of the day.
Aside from these duos, the bill also features a range of artists holding the fort on their own, including Innervisions head-honcho Dixon on his hugely anticipated return to Boston Manor; Midland, who is constantly cementing his integral status within UK club culture; Max Cooper, who brings his larger-than-life live set to Boston Manor Park for the first time; Or:la, whose star has not stopped rising since her phenomenal Boiler Room debut back in 2017; CC:DISCO! and Dan Shake, both revered within the worlds of house, disco and its adjacent styles; musical chameleon DJ Seinfeld; Irish rave star Kettama; Nabihah Iqbal, who plays a special DJ set, and I. JORDAN, one of the underground scene’s most in-demand producers and DJs. We’re also joined by producer wunderkind Otik, deep digger B.Love, the energetic force of Cashu, future star Manami, Black Artist Database founder and top shelf selector NIKS, Mona Yim, KT and Storm Mollison, all of which are hotly tipped for a bumper 2023.
We are also very excited to have London institution Phonica Records join ION Festival as our music partners for this day, continuing our long-running friendship with the city’s most revered record shop in its 20th year.
All-in-all, Friday takes influence from the heyday of techno, through to the inclusion of some of its current leading lights and fastest risers. There’s something for everyone to enjoy, whether you’re drawn to sun-soaked disco excursions or the hardest-hitting strains of techno.
