Hot on the heels of last week's party, we're very excited to reveal the lineup for our collab with the one and only 303 Alliance Records on May 2nd in Sheffield for 303 Alliance X Alto !

A.P. — A highly regarded name in techno, A.P. runs Refined Format, a similarly esteemed label. He plays regularly at festivals across the UK and at clubs such as FOLD as well as touring extensively, performing all over Europe, as well as in South America. [.p._1 ]

TASSID — Active since the late ‘90s, Tassid has released tracks on some of the most respected underground techno labels, including the legendary Stay Up Forever and Perc Trax. Fresh off a show in Poland in February and a set at Tresor last summer, he's back to bring the heat. [
]

BENJI303 — The driving force behind 303 Alliance, Benji303 consistently delivers his signature acid techno and hard techno sound. In addition to releases on his own label, he has dropped tracks on legendary imprints like Stay Up Forever, Hydraulix, and Cluster. He has played countless club nights, festivals, and free parties across the UK and Europe.

SAM J — Representing Alto, Sam J has been mixing for a decade, playing at festivals, clubs, teknivals, squats, and free parties—where his roots lie—representing Oltanate Sound System. While focusing primarily on DJing, he has also released a vinyl record on 303 Alliance. An avid digger, his sets always vary in style, but expect dynamic techno and more.

The week is upon us—TOMORROW NIGHT, we're back with Alto 007 !!

A quick focus on the venue, the sound system, and some important info:

The sound system will be a finely tuned stack of familiar funktion one boxes, provided by Oltanate. Expect crisp, dynamic sound to satisfy our auditory desires!

The venue is Zephyrs, tucked away in the courtyard of the industrial Stag Works, full of character dating back to 1880. We've had many great nights in Stag Works, but this venue is relatively new, and it'll be the first time we see it in action for a party. We’ll save the current photos and hope you’re pleasantly surprised by an intimate, smoky, red-lit space perfect for us all to dance.

IMPORTANT INFO:

INCLUSIVITY IS PARAMOUNT to any party or space we share. No bad attitudes tolerated. If anyone has any issues, please speak to the bar staff and ask for the Alto crew. For any feedback after the party or questions before, feel free to reach out.

On that note, we don’t want people priced out. We’ve kept a lot of tickets at £8, available until Friday afternoon (allocation permitting). Ticket link is in our bio. If you're struggling, get in touch.

See you all Friday night!

Below is a reminder of the lineup, should you need it.

JACK MAJIC – We first saw Jack play for Odyssey soundystem back in 2018. Since then we've personally seen him grace the decks in varying locations. From clandestine windfarms in Scotland to warehouses, festivals including Boomtown and clubs such as FOLD. Jack always blows it out the water and has brought us many a set that lives long in our memory.

SUKI SOS b2b YANNY – Both are members of the Flaw Collective , playing recent sets for Effective Relief , Off Me Nut Records and at Jabbarwocky's IWD party.
Their lively sets are multi-genre and span from hard groove to infectious dembow, b***y tech, and trance. They are set to debut their new radio show 'juicy fruits' on Kitchen Radio which they are co-hosting alongside Gut Level's k-swiss.

ALTO Crew – You know what to expect by now. This event will be in line with our aforementioned HARD & FAST agenda.
