Party starters Deadly People combine forces with Abracada, to present an amazing line up of DJ talent for the London leg of the ‘Its A Kind Of Magic’ European tour. Held at the capital’s finest new clubbing venue XOYO, the event will be showcasing some of the most exciting new talent emerging from the French dance scene.

Headlining the event are The Krays aka Brodinski and Yuksek, two of France's best loved and most prolific producers. After years of collaboration, the two have united their love for electro and techno to form the Krays. ‘We’re Ready When You Are’ ft. Ebony Bones is their first effort as a twosome, a rollercoaster ride of joyful acid house, discofied percussion and the energy of a thousand twisted raves.

Playing live on the night, The Aikiu bring their shiny new wave infested pop to the party. The band are lead by frontman Alex Aikiu , who after spending his formative years in the US cutting his teeth working with some of the biggest producers in the world, has relocated back to Paris to team up with Pilooski & Julien Vichnievsky. Inspired and influenced by Roxy Music, David Bowie and just a hint of Chic, decadence and glamour reign supreme in the music as they seek to keep the party going all night long.

Also on the bill is chart-topping DJ extraordinaire Pilooski. Paris born, Cédric Marszewski, is best known for his incredible reedits, in particular the monumentally successful reedit of Frankie Valli’s classic northern soul tune ‘Beggin’. The track won worldwide exposure, receiving heavy airplay in the UK from Radio 1 as well as being used as theme music for a worldwide Adidas campaign. As a DJ, Pilooski has played at some of the worlds greatest clubs & festivals. His sets are an eclectic mix of soul, disco, electro, rock & techno, highly influenced by the power of funk.

Topping off an already incredible line up will be DJ sets from The Magician (a mysterious individual, suspected to be a member of ex disco duo Aeroplane), Mikix The Cat, Mustang and
up and coming avant-garde disco popsters The Villa.

A late addition to the bill is unannounced special guests Renaissance Man. The Finnish house duo’s debut ‘Spraycan’ was released on Switch’s Dubsided in early 2009, followed by ‘Rhythm’ on the Kitsuné Maison 7 compilation. A subsequent EP on Parisian label Sound Pellegrino launched title track ‘What Is Guru’ as one of the year’s underground hits, making Renaissance Man highly sought-after remixers for the likes of Brodinski, Crystal Fighters and Health. The mayhem looks set to continue in 2010 with at least two new records, including an EP on the Made to Play Label, remixes for The Very Best, Solo and The Crookers, plus numerous international shows in prestigious venues including Fabric and Panorama Bar.

The Abracada tour also visits New York, Paris, Brussels and Glasgow.
