This weekend, London nightlife will finally be restored to it's former, pre-dry January glory.
Printworks will be hosting Edible Beats 100, an unrelenting day and night of house and techno, curated by Eats Everything. Doors open at midday, giving you a full 11 hours on the dancefloor.
Talent includes Alan Fitzpatrick, Andres Campo, Cinthie, Green Velvet, Nastia, Melé, La Fleur, Ben Sterling, Maze & Masters and Lord Leopard.
Alan Fitzpatrick's ability to hold a crowd is second to none, thanks to his high energy sets and powerful presence behind the decks. To whet your appetite, listen to 11:11 The Awakening EP, which came out in late January. He even has is own festival, Alan Fitzpatrick's Day in Ireland, and there are collaborations with Camelphat, Jamie Jones and Reset Robot in the pipeline.
Eats Everything will also be playing in the Press Halls. An unstoppable force on the scene, he's been a prominent figure in clubbland for many years. Don't tell everyone, but if you get there early, he will also be playing in the smaller Dark Room.
Once you've seen him in that intimate setting, it's worth sticking around, not only for a change of scenery but because there'll be acts like La Fleur. She smashed her set at Junction 2 festival last year. Melé is another not to miss, a versatile DJ known for nailing all sorts of different sets — he's an innovator who loves Brazillian beats and hip hop as well as classic house music.
Back in the Press Halls, listen out for Nastia, a Ukarainian DJ with a cool, minimal style. Tomorrowland regular Green Velvet, from Chicago, is easily recognisable with his neon green mohawk. It's as unconventional as his music, which he describes as "like folk music for the rave scene". If that doesn't intrigue you, nothing will.
Prepare to kiss January goodbye at last.
