Back in the day, my old friends Mark Sinclair & Kate Pendragon were renowned for throwing legendary parties across London and beyond. Their iconic event Pendragon had a massive influence on all of us. Mark & Kate consistently took bold creative risks, introducing fresh acts to the scene including The Secret, Quietman, Afro Celt Sound System, and The Morrighan, to name a few. But in January 2003, they took a game-changing leap: they introduced a group of young, energetic producers, DJs, MCs, and a wild green man dancer, giving them their first live break on the London hard dance scene at Pendragon. It would change everything.
Kevin Energy, Sharkey, K-Komplex, AMS, Mark Ashley, and Vinny (The Green Man) collectively known as the NU Energy Collective burst onto the underground hard trance scene with their explosive fusion of Freeform, Hardstyle, and Hard Trance. Backed by the wild Vinny, who thrilled crowds with his peel-off green skin and monstrous dance style, they were impossible to ignore.
My old friend and partner in crime Nadya Logic Giffen saw the potential straight away. Just a few months later, on Friday 18th April 2003, the NU Energy Collective led by the legendary Kevin Energy took to the Logic stage at The Fridge in Brixton. That night went down as one of our all time greats.
From that moment, Kevin Energy became an integral part of the Logic journey, performing regularly as both a solo DJ and with the Collective for many years to come. I can genuinely say that Kevin and the NU Energy Collective helped shape the identity of Logic and for that, I’m truly grateful.
It is with great pleasure that I introduce the one and only king of Freeform, NU Energy’s main man, producer, DJ, and all round top bloke Kevin Thorpe, aka Kevin Energy, to Logic The Gathering – Summer Reunion 2025.
