So influential is their legacy on the area that talk of a Club Class in Maidstone is always accompanied by a wave of feverish excitement but this Saturday's party at The Loft is a little bit special even by their own standards. Carrying on the tradition of recent years, Maidstone's most influential clubbing institution welcome their favourite DJ son back to celebrate his birthday; one Nic Fanciulli.

Now lauded as one of the finest DJs of his generation, Fanciulli might now command peak-time sets the globe over and headline Ibiza events like We Love... and Made In Italy but it was back at his first residency for the legendary Club Class where it all began for him. Born and bred in Kent, Nic grew in Maidstone and was a clubber on Club Class' hallowed floors before he rose through the ranks to become a cult and fanatically adored resident at the Maidstone party.

Since then he has officially catapulted into the upper echelons of global DJs, picked up Grammy nominations for his productions and produced one of 07's most timeless mix albums with his One+One mix alongside James Zabiela. The boy done good basically and his homecoming is set to be another memorable night at The Loft for the Club Class massive.

Joining Nic on his birthday session will be Radio One's Pete Tong who will also be celebrating something of a landmark in his first Kent gig for over two and a half years. And as if that wasn't enough this special celebratory Club Class will also act as a reunion for the Electric Gardens festival where Club Class hosted an arena at the 14,000 sell-out spectacular. Sam Ball, Mark Fancuilli and Dodek will all hope to follow up their outstanding Electric Gardens showings by helping blow out the musical candles for Nic's birthday session.

Like Sasha's infamous birthday sessions at Space's We Love… in Ibiza, Nic's annual birthday celebrations at Club Class have become something of an institution and combined with the change to enjoy the infamous and unmistakable atmosphere of Club Class at The Loft this one isn't one to miss. Music will be rocking from 10pm to silly o'clock this Saturday 25th August and for more info or paying guestlist hit up info@club-class.org.
