The Hydra Returns With Two Huge Shows At The Drumshdes London

Internationally revered for their progressive programming, electronic music institution The Hydra, steps back into the light with two Goliath shows at The Drumsheds London on Saturday 27th November and Saturday 18th December 2021.

November’s show, dubbed ‘To Be’ offers a dancefloor-focused journey through techno’s many textures. One of the most venerated artists in electronic music, Jeff Mills will be the only act to perform solo, with The Drumsheds’ industrial aesthetics providing the perfect backdrop as The Wizard weaves his magic.

Topping the back-to-back schedule, techno titans Nina Kraviz and Paula Temple will go head-to-head for a high-octane set of pounding beats from two of the industry’s most in-demand artists. Making for one of the most interesting pairings of the series, electro-tinged Modeselektor will go back-to-back with the dynamic and dexterous stylings of Special Request, and showcasing some of the most heavily backed rising talent, TYGAPAW will exchange sonic blows with Physical Therapy and Tailor Jae joins forces with Yung Singh.
