Global Rave

Horizons Festival closes with a global rave and everyone is invited! From Democratic Republic of Congo to Iran, HOME brings you Techno Soukouss and Psy-Trance as they transform Theatre 2 into a 2 hour night club for the world!

Delivering these high-octane sonics which are guaranteed to make you move are Blanchard de Plaizir and Psyfunktions. Both are making their HOME debut. Blanchard de Plaizir brings Soukouss, a unique dance form from the Democratic Republic of Congo, fusing African and Latin rhythms.

Soukouss has long been popular on the African continent in its traditional form, which was introduced to Europe back in the 1980s by the likes of Kanda Bongo Man, Papa Wemba and Awilo Longomba. In his new offering, Blanchard de Plaizir slams the genre right up to date, throwing his own brand of African Salsa and Zouk into the mix.

While Psyfunktions, travelling as a refugee from Iran, through Greece to the UK with a passion for Psy-Trance, will be delivering a psychedelic show to set your heart racing. Move your body with the world, and still make the last bus home.
