First of all, in classic ricardo fashion, he arrives extremely late(around 9 a.m.) and then plays an even more classic set.

For those who attended, i was in a black t-shirt, a chinese lettering graphic pn the back. a bandage on my left wrist and right index finger.

You might have also known me more specifically, as i took of my shirt and put on my waist like a chef's towel, or even more specifically as the 'shirtless ice guy', it was not sweat on me, it was alot of melted ice!

I might've overdosed my stuff a bit and kept rubbing ice all over myself, but no regrets. It felt amazing! And if you were anywhere near the decks on ricardo's set, i probably offered you to try it, and i would like to thank those who joined in, made it all the more fun!(please reachout so i can remember you!)

And thanks to all the people who danced their hearts out, the floor was on fire, and everyone did their part. A lot of compliments to a lot of people were due, but i couldn't always remember to give them, so if you were on the floor today, i extend my compliments to you.

But most importantly thanks to Haython(i think thats how you spelled it) a 51 year old angel who took me under her wing for the night and i want you to know you've made my night truly special, consider me one of your sons from here onwards, and i truly hope i meet you again, you made it a night i will never forget with your big and sweet heart. Please, please, please, if anyone knows a haython who was there that night, let her know! And if you read this haython, Reachout, please!!

And to all the other legends whom I had the pleasure of chatting with, also reach out so i can thank you personally.

And the rest....

Please share your experiences, Stories, and thoughts if you'd like so, it was my first ever seeing ricardo at fabric, and safe to say, it lived up to all the merit and a bit more, and it wouldn't have been as good as it was without everyone involved!

Went to sextou last night, and even though the party is good I honestly felt like the temperature + humidity in there was kind of dangerous. People were really struggling with the heat and I wouldn’t have been surprised to see being people pass out or even worse. Sure, it’s not their venue but still feel like the health and safety of their community should be a higher priority.

Any one else feel similarly?

Hey, I’m 32F living in east London and looking for people I can go to music events with! I like techno, melodic techno, deep house, atmosphere electronic vibessssss

I am queer and liberal, work long hours in professional job but like to be free and have fun when I go out

Been to Anyma alone and was amazing but not the same as sharing the experience!

Anyone who’s planning to go to boiler room in July?

Message me if you think you could be a good match! 😊

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a small cap 100-150 grassroots venue thats free hire for a unique club night. Preferably somewhere with good foot traffic as it will be a new event concept. The venue needs to accessible as this is an inclusive event. Any suggestions? Looking in areas like Dalston, Hackney, Shoreditch, Camden, Islington. That said, any suggestions for south are welcome

Would love to go as I unexpectedly got the evening off work but tickets are sold out... hmu if you're looking to get rid of yours!

Hey everyone!

Us, two dudes in their 20s are visiting from Germany.

I was looking into any kinda techno club:

Egg, MOT, Corsica, Printworks...

Everything closed or closes by 00:00?

Are we looking wrong? London is *the* city in the world and there must be some venue with music playing a bit longer?

Do you have any recommendation for lice techno or anything open past midnight?

Thank you, we really appreciate it!

Going to a party in west Ldn tonight with friends, down from Scotland we’re looking for THC carts (or even bud at this point) so if anyone can help a brother out it’d be appreciated lol. Don’t ask ye won’t get haha

Hey all — founders of Longevity Rave here (https://www.instagram.com/longevity.rave/) . We throw parties that look exactly like a normal house/techno party, except the crowd spans 20s to 60s+ and everyone's able to dance freely without any judgement.

The idea started because we (Tina, a longevity scientist and DJ at 62, and Yukari, a cultural anthropologist and DJ) met on a dancefloor across a 30-year age gap and realised how rare it is for a party to actually mix generations. Most "wellness" stuff is solitary or boring — apps, wearables, the gym. Most stuff that brings people together — clubs, raves — doesn't get credit for being good for you, even though dancing together might be one of the more powerful things you can do for your health. So we started running events that take the science seriously without being a wellness retreat: good music, great people, no forced sobriety lecture, just a party that's paced to start and end earlier so you're not wrecked the next day.

We've done this at a couple of places in London, like Hackney, House of KOKO, but we are trying to build more of a proper community in London. Our next one is at Shoreditch, 45 London, and it would be great to meet any like-minded ravers who are keen to be part of our community! If this event goes well, we want to run more events in the area :)

Longevity Rave — Day Rave
📍 Parallel 45 at 45 London, Shoreditch (45 Curtain Road)
📅 Sat 18 July, from 4pm

Full details / tickets: https://ra.co/events/2473693

Not trying to hard-sell it, and we are genuinely curious what this community thinks of the concept.

Thanks everyone!

Two late 40s ravers from SE have a free night anything decent we’re were won’t feel like grandads?

We like MOT, Tola normally

Hi guys!

Me and a friend started a small electronic music event in London because we missed nights that felt intimate and community-driven.

No VIP tables, no influencer culture—just quality music, good sound and a friendly crowd.

If anyone enjoys melodic house, progressive house and underground techno we’d love some feedback on what makes you actually buy a ticket these days.

Less than retail, message me

Absolutely blown away - venue was great, sound was top notch, not crowded at all like we saw on Saturday. Crowd was older - no sea of phones thank god! Same type of crowd we had the pleasure of meeting and dancing with at Mind Against in Camden a few months back and we didn’t even know their music then and certainly didn’t know the crowd would be gen Xers. The show itself exceeded my already very high expectations - I saw him at UNVRS last year and it was great but this was epic - a totally different scale and the production just mind blowing. Loved every minute - one of the best nights of my life.
