Hello London,

This week is stacked in the way that makes decision-making feel slightly impossible. We’ve got techno giants, house legends, secret locations, woodland raves, free parties, fundraisers and a few proper “how did you even find this?” moments.

On Thursday, experimental techno legend Peder Mannerfelt is hosting his EP Launch at Planet Wax for free, while PIRATEZ CREW are organising a free dubstep party at Bread & Butter Arch.

Friday is when the chaos begins. Voightmann is bringing Archie Hamilton and Flo Masse to Number 90 for some classic tech-house, whist Eris Drew takes over MOT for some acid-tinged house & techno. If you want something smoother yet still serious, Move D will be playing all night at Palais.

Saturday things get really out of hand, having to choose between Seth Troxler at fabric, FJAAK at FOLD or Hodge, Laurel Halo & Peverelist at Palais. For something more community based, Koshari are hosting a fundraiser for Post Bar at Distillery N17 with their usual brand of Middle-Eastern house & electro, and a daytime dub event in Archway - The Dynasty of Dub.

If you’d like to go off-grid this weekend then there’s a host of suggestions below, plus Ritchie Hawtin is playing a free gig at Serpentine Galleries. It’s sold out, but worth keeping an eye out for resale.

See you at the rave,
Afaan
