We’re gearing up for yet another busy weekend. Might be too late as you read this but five alarm last minute dance party for tonight, Soul Clap’s Jonathan Toubin announced a new biweekly party at a jazz club in Manhattan called the Django that looks like a blast. Meanwhile there’s much to get excited about for the weekend warriors out there. Saturday you’ll find us at Feeling Gloomy’s tribute to all things Australia but the competition is stiff! We’re also eyeing Daniel T.’s appearance at Let’s Play House on Friday. If you don’t know Daniel T., a lovely place to start is this stunner of a balearic italo re-edit he did last year. It was essential driving music for Summer 2015 over at YDH2S HQ.
Already got this weekend planned out? We’ve got dates for killer parties going well into March up on the website now. Go and get some advance tix and mark your calendars.
Oh and one more thing: we’re gearing up to resurrect the nascent YDH2S Instagram. You can find it here: instagram/ydh2s
