OFF: party in a former Soviet factory with the creators of Present Perfect

23 February will see the launch of OFF — a series of five unique music events by musical collective and record label​ Roots United​, the team behind St Petersburg’s Present Perfect Festival.

OFF will take place throughout 2017 at the Artplay Design Centre in St Petersburg, once the site of a major factory. Each of the five events will have an individual theme and take over a particular section of the former factory, with an impressive lineup of local and international artists providing a musical complement to the industrial setting. Roots United have also commissioned a number of site-specific neon visual installations from across Russia.

Code-named Unlock, next week’s flagship party will be hosted in a huge space measuring over 3,000 square metres, with many of the factory’s original features intact — think vast 20 metre-high windows and a lot of concrete. Two dance floors will host ten artists, with headliners including Dutch acid and dark-disco act Legowelt; the founder of New York-based label L.I.E.S., Ron Morelli; and St Petersburg’s own dark wave star Inga Mauer.
