The legendary Secretsundaze flagship arrives to Montreal for an
exclusive Canadian appearance at Piknic Électronik. In a sense,
Secretsundaze is the United Kingdom’s equivalent to our seasonal
dance music mecca, Piknic Électronik. Co-founders Giles Smith (Two
Armadillos, Dessous) and James Priestley (Simple, 2020 Vision) are
crate diggers and EDM enthusiasts who, over a seven-year history,
have gained a reputation as one of the most innovative promoters in
England to establish an exciting and fun alternative to spend a
Sunday afternoon outdoors.
“secretsundaze has changed the face of daytime clubbing” (Time Out)
Inspired by hedonistic cutting edge clubs both in the UK and Ibiza,
Giles, James, and a group of friends launched Secretsundaze in 2001.
In a short period of time, secretsundaze became the hottest ticket in
town for both guest DJ’s (Ricardo Villalobos, Carl Craig, Steve Bug,
Mike Shannon, Luciano, Ame, Losoul, Ivan Smagghe and Jay Haze to name
a few); and party people from all over Europe. These colourful summer
Sunday daytime parties have also made secretsundaze the darling of the
UK media with it being voted “Best Club Night” by readers of Time Out
in London in “The Time Out Live Awards 2005” and awarded the accolade
“Club of The Year” in the January 2006 edition of Mixmag. Secretsundaze
also became known for taking risks with bookings, breaking new, fresh
talent in the UK. The buzz about secretsundaze has also spread across Europe
with hugely successful parties taking place in Ibiza (2005 / 2006), Sonar
Festival In Barcelona (2005 / 2006/ 2007) and Snowbombing in Austria.
