Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 1 Steve Lawler is back with new music Credit: Supplied His thunderous single 'Pegasus' on Franky Wah's SHÈN imprint signals a bold creative resurgence, while his remix of Tom Crane's 'Open Your Eyes' (out 4th July on Steve's label VIVa MUSiC with rising duo WAHM) taps into indie dance flavours with trademark depth and energy. His long-awaited return, including the launch of his PENDULUM event series spanning Miami, New York, London and Mexico, is a powerful reminder of his continued influence on global dance culture. Tickets for the E1 London show are available at RA Tickets. We caught up with Steve this week and he's put together a playlist of 10 tunes that illustrate the soundtrack of PENDULUM. Franky Wah - Sundown ft. Kuuda (Terrace Mix) (SHÈN Recordings) Franky's label SHÈN Recordings is always a go to for good tracks . Everything is always top level and this particular track always goes down perfectly at a PENDULUM event. Adriatique, Samm, Jaimes - Back To Life (X Recordings) Such a hypnotizing track with a beautiful groove. It's perfect to really grab a crowd in the middle of the night. unfazed - A Gira (SPINNIN' DEEP) There's a great percussion to this track that really brings the vibe to build the momentum and kick off a night. Everything Is Art & Who Made Who - All The Love (The Moment) This track comes from two artists I've been really enjoying their productions over the last few years, and this collaboration just nails any hand-raising and beautiful moment which is key to any PENDULUM event. Yamil, Da Mike - Funny Man (Magnifik Music) Another great collaborative track from two great artists - drop this in the middle of a night and just watch any dancefloor go wild :) Jazzy, KILIMANJIRO - No Bad Vibes (Chaos) A beautiful track that is almost a guarantee in most PENDULUM events, just beautiful lyrics and vocals across such a catchy beat. Jamek Ortega - Dunes (WE'RE HERE) Tribal, hypnotising, and full of energy, this track is another favourite of mine to really get dancefloors switched on and moving. Love it! Kalyma - Sacrosanct (SOLIDE) An older track but another vocal that really gets all crowds switched on, and perfect for the dead of night when you want arms in the air and people zoned in. Alan Dixon x mOat x Tom Diesel - The Underground (Extended Mix) [DFTD] With a vocal snippet from the classic 'The Underground' track from DJ Vibe, this track is a recent belter from DFTD that is a real dancefloor heavyweight and a real new favourite of mine. RE/MIND - 1995 (Calamar Records) A PENDULUM classic and one that you are sure to also hear at future events. Such a great afro-house record and brilliantly addictive to the groove and percussion. Amazing production.

"It floats gently above the South Lawn with a bright orange colour, positioned to make the most of the beautiful backdrop which looks incredible during the golden hour as you lead up to sunset."
