Ellis Dee is a name that instantly rings bells if you know your UK rave lineage. A key figure in the early-’90s explosion, he helped shape the sound of hardcore and breakbeat rave when the whole culture was being invented in real time — big piano stabs, hoover rush, chopped breaks and pure, unapologetic euphoria. Alongside his production work, he became known as a DJ who could capture that “everyone together” feeling that made the era so special: messy, joyful, and completely free.

What makes Ellis Dee such a perfect fit for Good Vibrations Society is that this music isn’t about standing still and looking cool — it’s about release. It’s about smiling at strangers. It’s about that moment when a familiar riff drops and suddenly the whole clearing is one bouncing mass, like the forest itself has a pulse. Expect a set that’s high-energy but positive: classic rave flavours, big uplifts, and a tempo that keeps you moving from the first mix to the last.

In between swims, yoga, and all the woodland wandering, Ellis Dee is the spark that flips the weekend into full celebration mode — the kind of night you’ll be replaying in your head on Monday, still hearing the breaks in your footsteps.
