Rob Glassett, better known as Fold, is a London based music producer influenced by his teenage immersion in pirate radio, raving and record collecting culture during the late 90's and early 2000’s.
His particular strand of dance music draws on all facets of classic and contemporary sound system culture creating blends that have an undeniable UK edge.
Formerly on the scene as part of duo Sicaria Sound, this last year has seen SICARIA firmly establish herself as a solo artist. Characterised by her boisterous personality and fueled by her passion for the genre, SICARIA continues to be strongly praised within the dance-music community for supporting everything which is exciting and forward-thinking in dubstep, cementing her status as a heavyweight advocate for lively, chest-rattling 140 bpm sounds. Taking her fiery live sets to decks all over the world, from Miami to Tbilisi, SICARIA has played alongside scene legends like her recent viral Skrillex, Flowdan, Peekaboo B2B set for Badders Radio. With fans at the likes of tastemakers CRACK, RA, Mixmag, Boiler Room, and a packed global touring schedule still to come this year, SICARIA is poised to blow.
Maxwell is a Cologne-based DJ known for his deep digging and dancefloor-focused selections. His sets move between 90s house and various shades of UK club music, depending on the night. He already shared the booth with artists like Om Unit, Ehua, Interplanetary Criminal, CC:DISCO! & DJ Spit. The genres may change, but the aim stays the same: keeping your feet busy in the dance.
As part of Best Foot Forward (BFF) - a party series centered on community and open- minded club culture, they've built a presence grounded in consistency over hype.
The same approach carries through to their show on Callshop Radio in Düsseldorf, where curiosity and connection set the tone to create a space for people to come together and have a good time.
Raised near Düsseldorf, C U SOON discovered his passion for music early on. After learning and playing several wind instruments during his childhood, he became captivated by electronic music when he first tried blending two vinyl records over a decade ago. Since then, he hasn't left the decks, founding and collaborating with collectives such as TBA and Let’s See and organized lots of different events close to Aachen. Moving fluidly between house, breaks and other electronic styles, the Cologne-based DJ consistently selects groovy tracks that reflect his colorful mixing style and radiate an uplifting, playful energy that keeps dance floors smiling.
For the past two years, Miezibub has been making waves as an emerging Drum and Bass DJ, quickly establishing herself in the local scene.
Hailing from Aachen (Germany now based in cologne ), she has already shared the booth with heavyweights like Skeptical and Wingz, and delivered her signature sound on respected radio platforms such as Indialman invites Riddim Box, Refuge Worldwide, and Callshop Radio.
Her own show “unity”—dedicated to DnB and Jungle—on Callshop Radio.
After her debut at Openground Freifeld in January alongside Ehua and Maruhni, she’s now returning again—ready to bring more bass-heavy energy to the floor.
Extended Club Night July 12th
Doors Open 8pm till 6am
Opening the evening will be a 3 hour set from BLUME. Embracing a broad dynamic, her sound is as heavy in bass and energy as it is ghostly and atmospheric. Flowing between eerie ambient, half-time breaks, and the freeform energy of experimental techno, broken beats, and jungle influences, she explores tempo and texture with an open-ended approach.
FOLD: London artist Fold takes over from midnight presenting the signature bass heavy, dubbed out sounds that blur the lines between London soundsystem culture and German electronica and define the sounds of his labels Well Street Records and FLDIN2
Sicaria & SGT Pokes: Sicaria returns bringing loads of forward-thinking dubstep and chest rattling 140bpm sounds will blow you away with bass.
Sicaria said after her first time at Open Ground last year
‘i'm completely sober now and don't take any dr00gz so i usually have a hard time wanting to stay out too late. this was the first venue that had me raving until the doors closed at 6AM so that's really saying something! the sound is INCREDIBLE, it's really such a sonic treat to experience. Also NO PHONES so you literally stay locked into dance the wholetime. after my set i went into the dancefloor to have a skank with the crowd was the first time in a long time i felt safe to do so’
More in line with the dance hosts of old, SGT Pokes works as a conduit between DJ and crowd, giving the sound the room and space to breathe inside the dance. It’s alwaysabout good vibes when Pokes is hosting on mic.
Closing the evening is Josi Devil
Hailing from the vibrant beat scene of Bristol, Josi Devil's multi-tempo, bass-heavy works that are rooted in Reggae, Dub and Dancehall .
Josi's DJ mixes blur the lines between these genres, enriching the sonic fusion experienced in their mixes by seamlessly connecting experimental score-based music with UK-driven bass music.
