If nobody reaches out try the dnbfamily.chat series of WhatsApp groups. Was speaking to the guy that runs it last night and they do meetups all the time.
Anyone hitting that fast soul music on Friday? V tempting
not in town but it will be quality. fox & firkin is just a pub-kinda venue, very informal and chill.
Decent pizza out back (huge garden to chill in), good beer, long bar with quick service and a kinda informal cloakroom for events like this. I was at the first one and it was run really well. It's a massive ballache for me to get there and home again but worth the journey.
Yep, can't wait, the first one was very good. Tony and Makoto in one place, wouldn't miss it for the world.
not dnb but i would be remiss not to mention that FWD>> is back at Fold this weekend. not only back, but back with skream b2b benga, plastician, el-b, etc, etc. can't believe im not here.
I would absolutely love this as a weekly post, thanks for the reccos 🙏🏼❤️
will see what i can do. i feel like there has always been a need for a dnb listings site. can't be fucked chugging through ra, skiddle and dice through endless house nights.
this is so true takes so long to get through it all and find an event you want to go to, so thanks for the post
And national. No pressure ;-)
uk wide would not be much harder if there is interest.

This is such a fun day!! I hope the weather holds out.
Thank you! It was a glorious day although my set was indoors.
