We did say Albert Hall has a smashing calendar of events. Another stunner due to pop off in September is Sasha B2B John Digweed, two pioneering DJs playing for four hours straight together. These two set the bar for other electronic duos in the 90s. That should tell you almost everything you need to know. Head here for a master house in techno and prog house.
