Emergency Room continue run of form with duo of parties in April
From an Italo disco party at Patterns, Brighton back in October 2019, Emergency Room have come a long way. A string of pre-covid parties with stacked line-ups, owing to the Promoter’s well-connected frontman Zaltsman, had allowed Emergency Room to establish themselves just in the nick of time before the last two years happened.

Having closed off last year with a pair of parties headlined by Overmono and Call Super respectively at Loco Klub, 2022 sees them back with a vengeance. Getting all-round powerhouse duo Two Shell down to the Island back in March was definitely something of a power play for ER, letting the city know that they’re really only just getting started. And boy, they sure were.
April sees the now seasoned promoters really turn it up a gear, and the focus seems to be primarily on the South West. They’re putting on three parties across the UK, and two of them happen to be here. The first of which being a classic case of the “secret locations” in a venue named only “the warehouse” on the 15th.
is needed now More than ever
In terms of a line-up for this one, it features classic Hessle Audio mainstay/co-founder Pangaea, no doubt bringing the playful genreless vibrations throughout his set. Then there’s Bristol based Mix Nights graduate Lilyhuu – speciality: UK Garage – and lots of it. Lily’s been seriously on the rise over the last year, and her sets are always a treat to witness – good, fun dance music. Finally, there’s USA born, Germany based CCL, bringing the left-field wibbly edge that seems to be the secret ingredient for any good Bristol night at the moment.

And if that’s not enough to make you get your dancing shoes on, skip forward eight days and there’s yet another Emergency Room party, this time at Loco. ER has managed to secure German powerhouse Skee Mask on a bill that consists only of himself and the party’s founder, Zaltsman on the 23rd.
Skee Mask has become renowned across the underground for his deep, rhythmic productions. Working closely alongside Munich label Ilian Tape, his seminal album Compro earned him the title of Best New Music from Pitchfork, and he’ll no doubt be tearing the roof off of Loco for this incredibly rare set.
Tickets for the 15th and the 23rd are both still on sale, but are looking to be sell-out nights, so grab them while you can.
