Simple has now been rattling the nightclubs of Oxford for 25 years... a true pioneering promoter of cutting edge house and techno on our doorstep, bringing some of the worlds biggest names in dance music to the city every year.So it was suggested we throw a party to celebrate. Something bigger than usual. And we're truly blessed to be hosting two of the greatest Djs of our time as well as a whole host of local talent...
And not only that, we'll be setting up two stages; one outside during the daytime and one inside for the nighttime session...

A man who needs no introduction. One of the most legendary garage & house producers of our time. He made his name in the mid 1990s defining his own unique sound full of vocal chops and bouncy rhythms which went on to be a huge influence on the UK garage scene. As well as his production skills, he is notably an incredible singer and went on to collaborate with Daft Punk, singing & co-producing on chart topping hits, 'Face To Face' from the Discovery album & 'Fragments Of Time' from Random Access Memories which went on to win several Grammy Awards for Album of the Year, Best Dance/Electronica Album, and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
It doesn't get much bigger than this in dance music. Very special for Oxford and guaranteed to be a show to remember...Todd Edwards will be headlining the outdoor stage in the early evening.

Hailing from Streatham, South London, Oneman has been present on the scene for well over a decade, nearly two!...his early days getting hooked on London's many pirate radio stations, on dubstep and garage sounds that were resonating from Brixton's DMZ and Shoreditch's FWD, and the vibrant & chaotic nightlife in noughties London helped lay the foundations of his career. Now in 2024, his Boiler Room sets are legendary, he's logged hundreds of shows on Rinse FM and he's played some of the biggest night clubs & festivals around the globe.
As a DJ, Oneman is hard to pin down, jumping from genre to genre proving that all music can be mixed he's developed a style where no direction is a wrong turn; house, rnb, pop, 80s, disco, dubstep, hip hop and many more can merge to create the wildest party.
He does it like no other, don't miss - Oneman will be closing the night inside.
