London,

As a large majority of us may still be in rave-tirement, we’ve gone for a slightly different angle this week, but our rave picks, as normal, will feature at the bottom of the newsletter.

If you’re a fan of a good party, chances are you will probably appreciate a good Listening Bar or immersive art exhibition. Luckily, London is full of them.

Experience a gigantic set of restored 1920s cinema speakers at Peter Doig: House of Music, a trippy AF exhibition at 180 Strand, or one of the best sound systems you will hear in a Japanese-inspired bar and restaurant.

We’ve also included 4 options for Open Decks happening this week if this is your year to launch your DJ career.

Enjoy, and please tell us if you hate this edition, and we won’t do it again 😅
