Weekends Matter Newsletter - 23rd May

We've had a flurry of Bank Holidays recently, but this is the last one for three months, so make the most of it.

This Weekend

And boy do you have options. A-Wing brings electronic music to a former prison this weekend, whilst one of their guests Derrick Carter is also in Brighton. He forms part of very a special series of afterparties for Love Saves the Day in Bristol too.

Elsewhere Circus in Liverpool is as potent as ever, Homoelectric in Manchester never fails to impress and a huge 8 hour set from DJ EZ in London serves UKG fans (watch him above for Mixmag). There's also the brilliant Alfresco in Blackpool, Moda Black hitting Leeds and Elektriqa up in Newcastle to look forward to. Spolit for choice.

Coming Up

The Sun has got us thinking about Ibiza, so we've had a look at what to expect at both Cream and We Love this season. Closer to home Ministry of Sound has an action packed June, Abandon Silence turn four in style and Mixmag once more deliver with their live parties, this time manned by Scuba.

Festival wise Kendal Calling sold out... make sure you enter our Instagram competition if you need to go. Line up additions have come for our friends at the Wickerman, Welsh wonders Festival No. 6, and LWE's Summer in the City.

Weekends Matter - The Finale: Gareth Emery (Digital Society) by Skiddle on Mixcloud

Music

Our podcast is about to change, so we did one final hurrah in the existing format with a Gareth Emery mix (above). We also made a Festival No. 6 playlist, gushed about classic Stevie Wonder and spoke with Third Party and  Ralph Lawson. 

Final note is the competitions - we're currently giving away Ultra Europe tickets, the chance to meet Mark Knight, Trance Nation CDs and a session in A-Wing. Remember you've got to be in it to win it...

The above is emailed out every week to Skiddle Members. Not joined yet? Head here.
