Hello London,

Maybe it’s just us, but Pride month feels quieter this year. It’s June, the flags should be everywhere, and yet proper Pride-focused music events have been weirdly hard to find. So this week, we’ve widened the net with recommendations spanning life drawing, dance classes, queer film nights, and a few other bits worth your time.

Now, onto the raves.

This Thursday, we’re co-hosting Open Decks with The Faded Community. Grab a DJ ticket if you want a chance to jump on the decks.

On Friday, Roza Terenzi and THC take over Palais all night for house and techno, while Rhythm Section’s Bradley Zero invites Sam Goku to The Carpet Shop for glistening, rhythm-heavy cuts. For something with a darker edge, Torture Garden lands at Electrowerkz…. the name tells you most of what you need to know. Plus, there are a couple of secret location parties. Sshhh, don’t tell anyone I told you.

Saturday brings Another Thought 2026, a new multi-venue festival around the breweries of Blackhorse Road. Expect lighter house and Balearic energy, ideal if the sun holds out. For more speed, head to The Cause, where D.Dan and Freddy K have curated a heavy techno line-up including the notorious DJ Nobu. And for full-throttle chaos, DJ Assault hits Village Underground with ghetto-tech and booty bass.

See you on the floor,
Afaan
