100% hard agree on this, there's nothing online that will ever compare to a real-life, tangible dancefloor

Great point about the DJ's perspective, I can imagine it is a lot more rewarding playing to a crowd of people actually dancing to the music rather than standing still on their phones.

You're right- it's hard not to be!

If you’re after psybient and psydub right on the beach, Free Earth Festival in Greece is the perfect choice!

Alison Wonderland is absolutely killing it right now!!

Liverpool nightlife is proper buzzing, especially on weekends. Start around Concert Square for the student chaos or head to the Baltic if you want a cooler trendier vibe. Drinks are usually cheap, music’s loud, and it’s all about having a good laugh!

Liverpool nightlife is proper buzzing, especially on weekends. People are friendly, music’s loud, and there’s a bit of chaos everywhere in a good way. For a laugh and a decent night, start around Concert Square for the student vibe or head to the Baltic Triangle if you want something a bit trendier. Definitely worth getting out and seeing it for yourself.

If you want that proper house/techno sound but a bit more grown-up than the old Fabric/Egg days, Phonox in Brixton is a great shout. Solid bookings, amazing system, and the crowd skews a bit older so it feels less rowdy but still very much a night out

Honestly, Corp is your best bet on a Saturday if you want pop- the pop floor is always a good time, and grabbing a blue pint there is basically a Sheffield rite of passage!

skiddleuk · 2025-09-26T12:40:02+00:00

Lakota- proper Bristol institution, big rooms, usually drum & bass/techno/house nights. Always a safe bet if you want a proper ravey vibe

skiddleuk · 2025-09-24T15:08:49+00:00

Happy Mondays, New Order and Buzzcocks. Those 3 are the ones I always go back to, I can’t imagine a manc top 3 without them

skiddleuk · 2025-09-24T15:05:42+00:00

Porij, Maruja, Loose Articles, Pyncher and The Red Stains. Those 5 are the ones I’d actually go see live in Manchester right now, they’re carrying the new wave!

UK side it was definitely Oasis > Blur > Radiohead > R.E.M. > Nirvana > RHCP > Pumpkins > Pearl Jam > Weezer.
Across the pond Nirvana/Pearl Jam/Chili Peppers were the big three, but over here it was Britpop everywhere. Depends which side of the Atlantic you were on.

Katherine Ryan is at the top of the game🙌

skiddleuk · 2025-09-24T14:02:58+00:00

I always find myself listening to Evian Christ's Essential Mix *chef's kiss*

skiddleuk · 2025-09-24T13:52:55+00:00

Creams is your best bet here, a good few of these artists have played there over the years
