House Finesse

This week we're heading back to May bank holiday for a full 90 minutes live set from Glitterball, with Andi King joined by his Espresso Brother, Alex, for a proper back-to-back.   Two selectors, one booth, and a dancefloor that didn't stop moving. This one is also a tribute to our late friend Andy Driver, who sadly passed away recently. This week would have been his birthday, so we're dedicating t...

LYP has also just landed a residency at Salt & Cellar in...

Sarah Jae is back and she means business.

The middle of the set hits hard: Wh0 and Mark Knight & Funkagenda bring the peak-time heat, before Girls of The Interne...

This one's dedicated to Andy Driver, a friend of the residents, a man who lived for music and always made the room better just by being in it.

From Memi P's opening welcome through gospel-tinged house, soulful classics and a Princ...
