THIS SATURDAY!

So to celebrate the recent CDO edits release, I’m bringing over Bristol based, CDO label head, vinyl wizard, disco connoisseur and just the biggest sweetheart ∆dmin over for a long due B2B session in my favourite place - The Big Romance

I had met Adam over in Bristol last year during a visit for a show with another Bristol legend - Mike Shawe (what a guy and what a party that was) and he brought me digging around the city and shared some music. I’ve been enjoying his work and taste quite a lot since, and it’s a joy that he had asked me to include an edit on the release. So to celebrate, we’re having a long due session in my monthly residency space!

there’s always been a loyal crowd that come just for my monthly residency, and I can’t thank you enough, so if you’ve never been down for one of these, please do! come dance and meet some kindhearted people who enjoy this music together.

FREE IN!!
