If you haven't watched Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat yet, do yourself a favour and fire it up this weekend on Amazon Prime. The premise is brilliantly simple: one unsuspecting employee thinks they're on a legit company retreat while everyone around them is an actor orchestrating increasingly absurd situations.

Detroit techno, austere and futuristic, grew out of Black/queer culture, sci-fi escapism, and the repetitive language of automobile factories. San Francisco's techno, on the other hand, fused an outdoor hippie aesthetic with ecstatic, UK-derived beats that had crowds mass-hallucinating UFOs on Ocean Beach at dawn. Both shared a deep funkiness, however—remember when people of all shapes and colors once danced wildly?

AMØK has undergone major improvements ahead of the new season, including enhanced VIP areas, a fully renewed lighting system and upgraded D&B audiotechnik sound system that all underline its reputation for immersive, high-spec production.

It hosts mostly corporate events and banquets, but also played host to those Zedd, Noah Kahan, and The Chainsmokers concerts during last year's NBA All-Star Game Weekend, and the Grahame Lesh & Friends afterparty shows during the Dead & Company concerts in August. And on an unrelated note, Coachella festival promoter Goldenvoice has been throwing the EDM-heavy Portola festival down at Pier 80 since 2022, plus they added a Skrillex and Four Tet show at the same location the night before this past New Year's Eve.

Each stage is designed with a clear purpose, allowing different parts of the electronic spectrum to exist without compromise, from peak-time headline techno to foundational house, from high-pressure intensity to emerging local voices. Together, the stages form a complete ecosystem where every sound has room to exist properly, and the whole site is steeped in the famously high spec production, light and sound that makes this one of Europe's leading events.

At its peak, XOYO in Shoreditch was one of the best nightclubs in London, playing host to residencies from the likes of Benji B, Andy C, Artwork, Bradley Zero, Skream, Bicep and The Blessed Madonna.

At the end of last year, XOYO (along with other London venue The Camden Assembly) was acquired by the newly formed Propaganda Independent Venues group,

At the end of last year, XOYO (along with other London venue The Camden Assembly) was acquired by the newly formed Propaganda Independent Venues group, run by Propaganda founder Dan Ickowitz-Seidler and TEG founder Richard Buck. By acquiring the Shoreditch club, the group wanted to help it "thrive under independent ownership and become a cultural hub for the area, offering opportunities and support to local artists and businesses".
