Here at Monarch Street, we believe in the transformative power of techno and house music. It's a force that brings people together, encourages self-expression, and fosters a sense of community. Today, we pay tribute to an extraordinary venue that embodies these values: Printworks. This former printing factory, once the largest in Western Europe, underwent a remarkable metamorphosis under the guidance of Broadwick Live. As we reflect on Printworks' impact and future, we honor the enduring legacy it leaves in London's electronic music scene.
From Factory to Dancefloor: An Unforgettable Transformation:
In January 2017, Printworks opened its doors and became an eagerly anticipated beacon in the UK's nightlife landscape. It was a place where music enthusiasts, DJs, and artists came together to celebrate their shared love for electronic sounds. The Press Halls, the beating heart of Printworks, retained the essence of its industrial past. The towering machinery became a striking backdrop, enhancing the atmosphere and enveloping visitors in an otherworldly experience.
Broadwick Live: Architects of Sonic Magic:
It was Broadwick Live, the management company, that orchestrated the rebirth of Printworks. Their visionary approach breathed new life into the dormant factory, forever altering its destiny. With meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering passion for music, they elevated Printworks to a position of prominence. Their dedication firmly placed London on the global map of electronic music, attracting acclaimed artists from all corners of the world.
A Journey through Musical Ecstasy:
The allure of Printworks lies not only in its industrial aesthetics but also in the collective energy that fills its spaces. Here, the boundary between artist and audience dissolves, and the music becomes a conduit for liberation. From the enigmatic sounds of Tale of Us to the debut solo acts of Geneesys by Anyma and We Don't Follow by MRAK, Printworks has birthed unforgettable sonic journeys that resonate with each individual present.
Looking Ahead: A Legacy That Cannot Be Replicated:
As we gaze into the future, we are filled with anticipation for what lies ahead in London's electronic music scene.
