Fantazia Big Bang II took place in September 2013 at Bowlers Exhibition Centre (BEC) in Manchester. It was a huge reunion-style rave bringing together classic UK rave brands—most notably Fantazia and Rez—with a lineup built around old‑school hardcore, rave, techno, and early dance legends.
That unmistakable piano‑break euphoria from Shades of Rhythm — the kind that lifts the whole room a few inches off the floor. You could see it ripple through the crowd like a shockwave. Hands went up. People who hadn’t met yet hugged like old friends. It was that kind of night.
Mallorca Lee stormed the stage like he’d been plugged directly into the mains. Ultrasonic anthems rolled out one after another — sharp, fast, unapologetic. The lights strobed in time with the kick drums, turning the room into a flickering memory reel. You could almost feel the 90s bleeding back through the walls.
And then came Injected With a Poison. The moment the first acid squelch cut through the air, the place erupted. Bowlers didn’t just cheer — it roared.
