This is...Shivoo!
Australian slang for "raucous party" Shivoo has been running monthly for over three years, in the diverse city of Leicester...Shivoo is all about the party - with the focus on the music and the emphasis on fun.. We love house, hip-hop, breaks, beats and everything inbetween...on any given Shivoo event expect a broad spectrum of sounds - with strictly no pigeon holes!
Past guests include an eclectic range of djs from all scenes, styles and genres, our roll of honour includes... Justice...Switch..Annie Mac..Tom Middleton..DJ Food..DJ Format..C2C..Evil Nine..Justin Robertson..Crazy P(LIVE)..A-Skillz...Sinden...Mary Anne Hobbs...Herve...Touche...Jazzie B... Utah Saints.... Not to mention some of the best UK talent inc Joe Ransom...The Beat Monkeys...James Talk...Wandy...Sonny Wharton...James Mowbray..No Fakin'...Leo Belchetz and Lost My Dog Records.
After moving from a small capacity basement bar called Atlantis in 2004, via a unique 200 capacity venue called Weavers (2004-2005) and onto the imposing 4 storey 500 capacity Original Four(2006-present), in such a small space of time, it's fair to say that Midlands clubbers have taken to the night.
The UK media has been equally quick to pick up on Shivoo, with DJ Mag describing Shivoo as "one raucous party that will be a firm DJ Mag fave for years to come", Mixmag labelling Shivoo as "one of our favourite nights" and the Guardian acclaiming our "damn fine reputation" for throwing parties!
If that wasn't enough Shivoo has been invited to take the party on the road to host rooms or parties at some of the UK's finest clubs and nights including The Cross, (London) & Custard Factory (Birmingham). Now pulling in crowds of 500+ and with some of the best residents and most diverse music policies in the UK - isn't it time you got SHIVOO'D!!
