Solomun’s very own label Diynamic has been successfully hosting festivals in Amsterdam, Istanbul, Barcelona and Naples for quite some time. The 12 year old label, wanting to spread their love underground techno and house music to London, was set to host a two day festival at Morden Park, September 8-9. Unfortunately, the festival has been brought to a grinding halt as petitions and complaints from residents have led ficials to deny the festival’s license. Solomon, Adriatique, Hosh and Magdalena among others were set to play.
In a statement posted to the label’s Facebook page a few days ago, the Diynamic team stated:
A Bridezilla’s Wrath
The reasoning for the licensing committee’s decision apparently falls to less than 20 residential complaints, most them stemming from brides getting married. In a petition posted to Change.org, one bride wrote her wedding was booked last March and there was no warning a festival. She goes on to say “Loud ‘House music’ and thousands people wandering around Morden Park would absolutely spoil anyone’s wedding ceremony.” The petition garnered over 700 signatures.
We hope Diynamic can recuperate from this quickly and find a new London venue for next year.
