My PRINTWORKS
Today I received an email from Printworks about their Closing Weekend Lineup. Although I had already heard that Printworks was approaching its end, I couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic. I remember back in 2021, during the pandemic, when I went to Printworks for the first time to see the Chemical Brothers perform. It was also my first time experiencing electronic music in an underground club.
This year, I saw Kx5 perform at Printworks. The combination of Deadmau5 and Kaskade was not something I could easily evaluate, but luckily the organizers didn't put them together (a wise choice), otherwise it would have turned into a commercial mess. Kx5's performance at Printworks was their only show in Europe during their tour, with the rest taking place in North America. This speaks to the status of Printworks in the electronic music scene, and perhaps the organizers wanted to make Printworks shine even brighter in its final days.
Our PRINTWORKS

It has also served as a filming location for the new Batman movie, making it a real-world Printworks (I noticed the resemblance while watching the movie and googled it to confirm).
The Final Celebration: A Farewell Music Extravaganza
Printworks, as a multifunctional event space in the heart of London, used to be a gathering place for many music enthusiasts. However, due to the ongoing impact and restrictions of the pandemic, Printworks announced the closure of its current venue and the hosting of a final music extravaganza.
This news has left many people feeling disappointed because Printworks is not just a music venue, but also a vibrant and creative community that attracts artists, musicians, and creative talents from around the world. Over the past six years, we have witnessed the flourishing development of various music genres, from Techno to Melodic House, from Disco to Bass.
But Printworks will not fade away. Instead, it will continue to exist in a different way and provide even more exciting experiences for music lovers. Therefore, we should raise a glass to toast Printworks' past and future, and join in the final celebration.

The lineup for the farewell music extravaganza is strong, featuring numerous renowned music producers who will put a perfect end to Printworks with their music. At the same time, this event also provides an opportunity for emerging artists to showcase their talents and embrace a new chapter in the music industry.
