DJ Auricom Mix & Up To Date Festival in Białystok


Białystok is the biggest city in North-Eastern part of Poland. I was born and spent first 20 years of my life in a small city near Białystok, thus I am fond of this city 'by birth', but  also beacause this is a city full of bright, happy people, with enormous potential, and very consistent and thriving music scene. The central point of music activity is definitely a Metro Club, which has been a permenant feature on the Polish clubbing scene for years, always offering the best selection of artists from disco to dubstep and housing some legendary parties (also the place where I experienced [and barely survived] the best party of my life with the super cool dudes from Lazer Sword & others- check my report here).

Now, the time has come to bring Białystok music scene to yet another level. September, 25th this year will mark the birth of the big electronic music festival Up To Date organized in a big complex of post-military warehouses. Three scenes: hip-hop &  techno & dubstep / heavy bass featuring: Tes La Rok, Ebola, Sandwell Distric Live (i.e. Regis and Function), top Polish rappers with Abradab from legendary Kaliber 44 crew or one of my favorite Polish MC's - Eldo and many other.  Everyone will find something up to his musical taste there. Do come, I guarantee you will not be disappointed, the more so as the Festival offers not only great music but a lot of other artistic pleasures.


One of the organizers of Up To Date festival - DJ AURICOM - a homie, resident of Metro Club and very talented DJ known of eclectic and divserse selection in his sets, has recently released a short mix for Made in Białystok portal which I highly recommend. Glitch hop meets electro meets dubstep meets rage against the machine.
