This October sees "the dawn of a new era" according to the people behind Bristol's legendary skate park Motion. Half pipes, ramps and passageways are to make way for the arrival of disco balls and decks as the venue plays host to a lip-smackingly large series of clubbing events titled In: Motion. Also dubbed Bristol's Underground Music Season, the project sees heavy-weight brands including Bugged Out!, Hospitality, Bloc and Subloaded take over the park each week to showcase some of the world's biggest DJs, producers and artists. And, while each brand presents its own night, together they share one common goal: "to blast Bristol's nightlife out of the ground."

Hip-hop masterminds KRS-One and Rodney P & Skitz plus special guests are first up as they kick-start the proceedings with a massive opening party on Friday 1^st October. They're swiftly followed up by the first in a long line of the big boys, Hospitality, who descend upon the venue the following night with High Contrast, Marky, Fabio, Danny Bryd and Logistics in tow to deliver a feast of the finest drum and bass and complete the launch weekend.

Next up sees Bugged Out! in town, with electro champions Simian Mobile Disco, DC10's Shonky and Artform and Fixia Record's Jamie Anderson concluding this night's tribe. Bloc Festival takeover on Friday 15^th October to present 80s electro-beat aficionado Green Velvet and Skull Disco's Appleblim (Laurie Osborne) who's in full support of the In: Motion project and looking forward to his own spot: "I'm tremendously excited about doing an Applepips room at the Bloc launch. The whole In: Motion series looks fantastic - both Bloc and the team at Motion are committed to putting on awesome raves. Come down, you will not be disappointed!" he says.

Over the course of what's left of 2010, In: Motion will continue to deliver a jam-packed schedule of not-to-be-missed nights. From Subloaded's big one with DMZ to a bonfire special presented by Invisible Circus, a top secret New Year's Eve bash, plus sets along the way from Joy Orbison, Seth Troxler and Scratch Perverts, Bristol In: Motion sure is, as the Motion team say themselves: "cultivating a breath-taking auditory and visual experience set to blow the mind of revelers across the country.''
