For the first edition, long standing friend of the label Phasmid will be taking to the decks, playing an expansive selection of high energy styles ranging from UK garage and breakbeat to electro and jungle.

On tonight's party, Gimme A Break founder Luke Politz said:

"In last year’s return to dance we really enjoyed bouncing ideas off each other in the club environment.

"Although a five hour set may test our stamina, we can’t wait to challenge each other and push the night in different directions."
