Hey beautiful people!

Another week in London, another week that does not disappoint, especially for those who live underground. If you want to put a face to my name, I’ve just started up an Instagram account where I will be discussing the β€œBusiness of Rave”.

One of the biggest names to come out of the underground right now, Dr Banana has a 4-week residency at Phonox, following Objekt. Bushbaby is also at M.O.T. for those who love the bassline. Teletech is also back after their sell-out WHP show with more hard new-age Techno, with Charlie Sparks & Fatima Hajji at E1.

Saturday brings something for everyone. Yung Singh will be at Phonox, one of the first to bring Punjabi Garage to the forefront. If you’re anti-Teletech, then good news, Marcel Dettmann is at fabric (Techno bucket list DJ), with Philippa Pacho at Corsica for some of the real old school stuff.

Finally, if you’re a bit of an audiophile like me, one of the biggest, best, and modern speaker stacks is at Village Underground playing Dubstep; Sinai Soundsystem,

Plus, UNFOLD on Sunday for some day-time Techno, and sold-out Caribou shows, that might be available on resale.

We wanted you to call out some of your favourite underground promoters on our Instagram, and you didn’t disappoint. Below are 10 that caught our eye.

See you next week, and remember, it’s the underground promoters powering the next generation of underground sounds.
