PARDON & Dr Dubplate come together to celebrate five years of ec2a, bringing a genre-defying lineup to Amsterdam’s Parallel on 25 October 2025. A key force in the UK’s club underground, ec2a has defined itself by a restless commitment to low-end explorations, championing sounds that blur the lines between garage, breaks, and bass-heavy house. Marking the label’s milestone, the night draws in both established pioneers and future-facing selectors.

Bakey steps into the booth with his notoriously energetic blend of UKG and broken rhythms, making his imprint felt on dance floors across Europe. Dr Dubplate—ec2a head honcho—returns to the controls for a set weaving through dubwise textures and razor-sharp club tools. With a reputation for propulsive, sharp-edged productions, Milion brings his signature edge to the proceedings, while local mainstay EYCEE channels percussive intensity and lithe grooves.

Glasgow’s La La, known for her intuitive, high-energy mixing, rounds off the lineup, promising a set that fluidly skips between house, techno, and rave-inflected motifs. Expect a night steeped in forward-thinking sounds, showcasing both the roots and future trajectories of the ec2a imprint. Parallel provides the perfect setting, primed for pounding subs and enveloping percussion.

Five years in, ec2a continues to forge new paths—and this celebration promises to be a standout testament to that vision.
