Hello London,

This week is a proper mixed bag, in the best way. We’ve got ambient and downtempo sessions, industry mixers, UKG, jungle, D’n’B, and a few genres I’ve only just learned exist: lento, phonk, and kuduro.

Here’s the plan.

Start Thursday with the free WE LUV GARAGE 360° pop-up at Unlocked, part of their infamous toilet-rave series, except this time the DJ booth is right in the middle of the room. Also worth a look is Vinyl B*tch’s third anniversary at Dalston Superstore. Support. More. FLINTA+. Artists.

This weekend also brings two artists who do not play London all that often: Maya Jane Coles at Night Tales on Friday and Scuba at M.O.T on Saturday. I’d expect MJC to move quickly, so grab a ticket if that one is calling you.

My personal picks are Adi, Loidis, and Marco Shuttle at Palais on Friday for deep, minimal and techy sounds, and Sands of Time by Grace Sands at Radial on Saturday.

On Sunday, Eris Drew & Octo Octa are playing a secret East London location. It is a bit spenny, but probably worth it to see the legends in action. If you want something harder, Metalheadz with Doc Scott & Grooverider at Night Tales looks very tasty for the heads.

Come say hi on the dancefloor.
