Initialize is back at The Middlesbrough Empire this June and you know what that means don’t you? Sheer and unadulterated pandemonium.

Fans of techno, hardcore/hardstyle, EDM, hard dance and bounce will know all about Initialize, but if you’ve not yet been acquainted then you should know that it’s a night that always go BIG (yes, caps). And their next event in Middlesbrough looks truly massive and will feature – all the way from Spain – DJ Juan Cruz (Harmonycs, Happy Boy, Apology, La Festa). Also rocking the boat will be DJ Direct and MC Stompin (pictured) who will be hitting clubbers up with a classic New Monkey set circa 2001/2004. Other DJs to look out for include Del Pino Bros, Direct, Chrissy G, Carter, Culture and Browny and other MCs flying the flag will be the likes of Turbo D, Impulse, Stretch and TNT. BOOM!
