FLOW is back on Saturday 1st March for more dancing, good times and excellent sonics, continuing where we left off with some truly talented selectors! All the guests on this occasion are specially connected to FLOW and it’s an honour to bring Oxford the musical talents of Giorja, Laurenzo G and Max Bhugra @selective_work . Giorja (@georgiasmith5)’s ear for deep listening has led her into the vast soundscapes of ambient and drone music for which she has gained a reputation as a true sonic world maker. For FLOW, however, she’ll be digging into the beat-laden parts of her collection to begin the night with immersive, minimal, dubbed-out grooves that will sound crystal clear on the rig! Max Bhugra takes over the decks for the middle-of-the-night section, rolling out a propulsive journey of tunnelling beats, bass and groove. With a broad learning of music behind a no-frills and clean approach to dj’ing, Max’s FLOW debut will be a tour-de-force of dance floor music for the mind, body and soul. Finally, the enigmatic Laurenzo_G (@music_mademedoit) debuts FLOW to take us through those extraordinary latter stages of the night. With a musical taste and passion that’s hard to pin down to one genre, we can expect a dynamic take on late night trance with a full-body embrace of the diverse threads of dance music. We can’t wait for the fresh energies these selectors will bring to the party. As always it’s just as much about the dancers and the collective energy we can forge in the presence of the music and each other. Thanks for all that are contributing - see you in the dance! Last entry 2am - £10 OTD - £4 Online. As ever, huge thanks to @gabriella.bailey for the original poster and design! by @selective_work
