ANDHIM, AWEN & Kadosh headline Magic Room & Spin Sum’s collab event, For the Love of Hong Kong

On Saturday, October 19, 2024, party purveyors Magic Room and Spin Sum are teaming up for a one-day festival at AIA Vitality Park, Hong Kong.

Set against the city’s skyline, For the Love of Hong Kong will feature two stages and a diverse lineup of international and local DJ talent, showcasing the city’s thriving house music community.

“At Magic Room, we always want to push the limits and embrace the spirit of our vibrant city and we believe Spin Sum has this in common” says Remy Kerstens and Leo Arbez, Co-founders of Magic Room.

One of the headliners of the festival is none other than ANDHIM. With a career spanning over two decades, the German duo has collaborated with artists like Diplo and Rüfüs du Sol and headlined festivals worldwide.

Also billed as headliners are Afro house sensation AWEN, a powerhouse vocalist and performer who has wowed audiences at Coachella, alongside Kadosh, the Tel Aviv-based artist whose eclectic sound has become a staple in underground electronic music scenes worldwide.

But, it’s not just about the headliners. This festival is all about Hong Kong’s local scene too, with supporting DJs from both Magic Room and Spin Sum; Arthur Yeti, Mo-Shi, Jane Ki, Willer, Alex Nude, Jamie Maddock, Nino, Nodes Crew, Leon, Nat Dunn, CW, Belloy, and Milam.

“Collaborating and pulling together our resources, expertise, and our respective loyal communities, allows us to create a festival vibe with two stages. More than just an event, it reflects our love for this city. It’s about unity. It’s about celebrating,” explains Willer, Co-founder and Creative Director of Spin Sum.
