Happy birthday to Space!

With the arrival of August (cue the heat wave plus thousands of Italians!) comes the annual Space Birthday Party, a behemoth of an event that this year - it's 23rd to be precise - is hosted by We Love on Sunday August 12. In the traditional birthday spirit of not doing things by halves, we've invited the mighty The Chemical Brothers to return to the hallowed Discoteca for the occasion - and if that's not the best birthday present on the planet, we don't know what is. Happy birthday to Space, from us!

Of course, that's not all folks. We have plenty more in store for the entire month of August - check out the line-ups below and come join us...

August 5
It's set to be loud and bold in the Discoteca when Chew The Fat! host proceedings. Felix Da Housecat's trademark jacking Chicago sound is complemented by Deetron's dark twisted tech and James Zabiela's across the board electronica and Foamo's rave friendly rhythms. Currently the name on everybody's lips is South London duo Disclosure, bringing a warehouse vibe to the Terraza, complementing 2manydjs, the Dutch 4/4 funk of Joris Voorn and renowned Italian producer Stefano Noferini. Meanwhile, the deep record box of resident Ryan O'Gorman kick starts the entertainment.
The irrepressible Funkagenda is joined by Jem Haynes for the early evening sessions on the Sunset Terrace. It's a breaks-themed After Dark with Mr Doris welcoming the prolific Krafty Kuts and surreptitious Agent 86. In El Salon it's our local friendly favourite bar Lo Cura's turn to let their residents loose all night long. On the Premier Etage there's a meeting of Balearic old and new with Alfredo, Jamie 'Fatneck' Lowand Ian Blevins.

The Innervisions collective of Dixon, Âme and Agoria make their penultimate appearance on the Terraza alongside the peerless jazz meets soul meets house of live act dOP and warming sounds of Ryan O'Gorman. In the Discoteca it's all about main room bass, with James Zabiela heading up proceedings. Resident Paul Woolford goes back-to-back with one of the most exciting talents to emerge from the dubstep scene - Appleblim. Expect searing stabs and chords from label-mates Scuba and George Fitzgerald while Jem Haynes gets things moving from the off.

Our Balearic bro Andy Baxter opens up the Sunset Terrace, before the indomitable live remixing of Funkagenda. After Dark Mr Doris welcomes the herb-laced sights and sounds of AV maestro Cheeba.

In the Discoteca, it's an all-out techno assault courtesy of our Italian friends Savana Potente, with resident Claude getting things rolling before purveyors of the techno vanguard Sandwell District and Skudge perform live sets, plus Berghain main man Marcel Dettmann and Detroit's Jeff Mills.

On the Sunset Terrace, the always-effervescent Jonathan Ulysses plays alongside percussionist Ian C, with a back-to-back session between Jason Bye and Jem Haynes setting the starting pistol.
