Hello hello! We are back and we’re here with recommendations for dance parties this weekend + throughout February. February is a busy time for the YDH2S DJs, we’ve got myself, DJ Doctor Mister, and Mister Disco spinning tonight at YEAH, next Friday Gordon Gloom will be spinning songs to make you burst into tears all night long at the Skint’s anti-Valentine’s Day party, and at the strike of midnight on Valentine’s Day, I’ll be playing robotic love songs with Doctor Mister at Digital Love. Add that to a regular installment of Feeling Gloomy on 2/20 (an Australian edition, at that), plus lots of other great parties we recommend you check out, and February is pretty well packed.
Also this is your regular reminder that we only put the cherry-picked best here in the newsletter. There are MANY more events on the website, especially this week, so this is just meant to give you a taste, so head to the website listings for many more options.
