The Thrillseekers

The Thrillseekers are playing NG-ONE in Nottingham on Friday 1 January, starting the new year with a full afternoon of trance. It's a big line-up for a New Year's Day session: The Thrillseekers head the bill, with Bryan Kearney, Luvstruck, Lisa Pin-Up and Anne Savage all on the bill as well. That's five names across the day, so it's a proper run of sets rather than just a single headliner.

Behind the name is Steve Helstrip, and he's the one steering the sound. He describes the Thrillseekers project as emotive and euphoric, and the set is built around the melodic depth that's defined more than seven years at the forefront of the global dance scene. You'll hear that energy in anthems like 'Synaesthesia' and 'By Your Side', which are the kind of tracks that usually get the room moving. If you've followed him for a while, those are the ones you'll recognise; if you're coming in fresh, they're a good place to start.

It's a long day of music, so you've got plenty to work with. With five names on the bill, the afternoon stretches out, and you can pick your favourite moments or stay for the whole thing. The Thrillseekers take the lead, but Kearney, Luvstruck, Pin-Up and Savage fill in the rest, so there's a fair bit of ground covered before the main set.

NG-ONE is at 76-80 Lower Parliament Street, NG1 1EH, right in the city centre. It kicks off at 3:00 pm on Friday 1 January, so it's an afternoon one rather than a late-night session—handy if you're not fancying a 4:00 am finish on the first day of the year. Tickets start from £25.00 and go up to £44.50, depending on what you're after.
