All the Special Treatment DJs - myself, Celia and Nick are playing in Lewes at Abys - last week we said we would play outsider funk, global grooves and summertime chug… and maybe that will happen again. #Lewes #Brighton #DJs

Flyer for Special Treatment. Saturday 5 July from 6:30 until 11 or so. Free entry at Abyss Brewing in Lewes.

Festive Roxxy wants you to know I’m on 1btn.fm tomorrow evening. I’ve got a load of cheap 80s disco stuff I got delivered recently, left of field 4/4, perhaps some newish pop and maybe I’ll even squeeze in a few Christmas tunes as well - will see where the mood takes me in the moment.

One more query, if the UI throws an error should I get info about it here? Wondering if I am misconfigured.
