THE RESET by ANOTR

They’ve come a long way since their first EP release Strobe on DFTD Records in 2015, they’ve DJ’d across globally renowned nightclubs and released impeccable productions on some of the most sought after labels in the scene including Solid Grooves, PIV and Hottrax.

In 2017, the Netherlands duo made the jump to imprint their unique tenor on the underground scene, by creating a label and party of their own - birthing their play on words, NO ART events campaign. With sell out shows across the board in recent years, it’s safe to say that their ground-breaking sound has captured the hearts of both existing and new House music fanatics.

Marking their territory within the electronic music industry, 2022 has been their most exciting year yet and they are sending it off in style with this album tour. What better place to broadcast their brand new beats than at KOKO London - a diverse 1500 capacity club situated in North London, known for its epic audio-technik sound system, soulful roof terrace and as the go-to venue of Grace Jones and Prince in the 1980’s.

The quirky club goes hand in hand with ANOTR and their idiosyncratic NO ART party. Originally a Victorian theater in the late 1800s, the diverse venue has previously been a cinema and can hold events from intimate live music performances to comedy nights and heavy rock concerts. DJ’s that have taken to the London club in recent years are Kerri Chandler, Sven Vath, Todd Terje, Lil Louis and Maceo Plex.
