Hello there, it’s been a minute but we’ve managed to get back up to speed after a long holiday season and a sad January full of passings. Our counterparts at Feeling Gloomy threw what became an epic three-day party to celebrate David Bowie and we’re still recovering, sorry that we were so busy helping to organize we didn’t get a chance to let our newsletter folks know.
We’ve chosen an excellent time to get back up and running though, there are heaps of great parties coming in the next few weeks, many from unfamiliar faces. For our own part, we’re throwing no less than four parties in three weeks, so have a peek below. We’re also excited to check out Strict Machine and the one-off D.A.N.C.E. party, plus another visit from L.A.’s Dance Yourself Clean party. That and more is in here, and as always we save the cream of the crop for the newsletter but there’s even more dance parties on the website if none of these tickles your fancy.
