Marking their 10th anniversary, Upitup are organizing a three-night weekender on March 21-23, showcasing their varied taste in music with artists from their own label roster and very special guests performing across Merseyside.
Each event will focus on different aspects of live electronic music, with composer Ergo Phizmiz headlining an evening of experimental electronica in Mello Mello featuring his multimedia opera GARGANTUA.
Upitup‘s will curate an evening at the Kazimier headlined by acid techno extraordinaire Ceephax, while the weekend celebrations will be brought to a close with the Upitup Allstars birthday party at Drop The Dumbells.

Roy, and local artists Chiz Turnross and Kepla.
Friday March 22’s Ten Means Ten at The Kazimier fuses acid and techno as TB303 guru Ceephax, is backed by VHS Head, Datassette, AGT Rave Cru and top local DJ and producers Tony Loco, Oddbwar, Captain Johnson and Acrobat.
