Hello London,

This week we’re going back to basics - a stacked run of proper raves across the city, including a couple of secret location parties for those who like their dancefloors slightly harder to find. We’ve also highlighted a few key March dates so you can plan ahead.

Midweek starts strong with genre[fatigue] - a multi-genre A/V rave on Wednesday (cheeky), before Futur.Shock x Serpentine lands on Thursday for some experimental and dub vibes. Friday was a tough one, but I recommend Cabin Fever bringing Steffi, Jen Cardini, and Efdemin for some acid-laced, deep techno, or… Origins: Pangaea & Courtesy for some old school rave and trance energy. Although Chloé Robinson b2b Paleman at M.O.T looks pretty tempting as well.

Saturday leans bass-heavy with ORII CLUB x BUMPAH at The Cause for some B2B vibes + live instrumentalists. This will be absolutely twisted! Plus, you have Brama 004: OK Williams, Richard Akingbehin + more for those wanting groove-laden house music. And two secret location raves - BUTTAH VIII & PARAVIBE. I always suggest something soft for Sunday. So choose between Mui Mui Records at The Lion & Lamb or Sunday Sessions with Anish Kumar at All My Friends.

Also, if you haven’t seen it yet, we published a longer read on the site last week. Ben has written about the current state of London nightlife and the tensions shaping it. It’s a considered piece, and worth your time.

Back to the dancefloor.
Afaan

PS: I sacked off fabric last weekend for a secret warehouse rave in SE and it was totally worth it. Ask me about it 🙂
