BACK 2 ESSENCE '96-'98

Groove City presents “BACK 2 ESSENCE ’96-'98 — a celebration of authentic UK club culture, inspired by the legendary Essence era of 1996–2000. For those who were there, it’s a chance to relive the atmosphere, music, and energy that defined a generation. For those who weren’t, it’s an opportunity to experience the roots of the UK Garage scene in Notts.

Expect heavyweight UK Garage anthems, deep soulful & tribal house, UK Funky classics, and underground sounds from some of the scene’s most respected local and national DJs. As a special guest, we're bringing Jeremy Sylvester a true pioneer of the scene, Jeremy was one of the most sought-after producers of the late ’90s and continues to be a major influence on UK Garage today.

Set in the Secret Garden, this fully covered outdoor space features premium sound, VIP table service, a relaxed atmosphere, and a carefully curated crowd. Blending old-school nostalgia with a modern club experience, BACK 2 ESSENCE ’96-'98 is a night built on community, energy, and timeless music.
