Consider yourselves lucky. At least, that is if you don’t have to go out of town for a wedding this weekend and miss a ton of killer parties. Well, at least I don’t have to pick between them all, because that would be tough. Or if you are, like me, heading out of town, there’s lots coming up the next few weeks to check out, maybe grab some tickets if you’re into that sort of thing. Gonna keep it short because I’m about to split but happy hunting!
While you’re here, we recently launching a podcast where we interview DJs, and the debut episode is out. First up is YDH2S’s own Lepaux, who talks about some of his favorite recent dance tracks and songs from Brazil, where he was born.
As always, if you don’t see something you like posted here in the newsletter, check out our full listings for the week on the website for way more parties. These are just the cream of the crop.
