No mean feat, Kryptic are celebrating their fifth birthday this September, and they’re having a grand knees-up in Middlesbrough.

If you need more underground house music in your life, then you should grab a huge slice of Kryptic’s fifth birthday cake. Needless to say, for such an august occasion they’re hitting us up with some real quality, not least in the shape of headliners 2Funky2. Creators of the massive 90s club anthem ‘Brothers & Sisters’, they are true pioneers of British underground club culture, so don’t miss this rare NE outing. Support comes in the shape of Emma Harbs (pictured – a DJ and producer rapidly rising through the ranks who is fresh from the playing UNVRS), Grandpafunk (Kryptics founder and Ibiza PlayAbout Radio resident), Brad Bain (the driving force behind House Is A Feeling), John Whyte (oldskool legend) and Kris Dryden (Redcar’s finest).

Kryptic, Saturday 26 September, Club Stereo, Middlesbrough, 9pm-3am, from £5, skiddle.com
