Renaissance VII

The Renaissance festival returned in 2017 in it’s new home of The Lounge (aka Nightclub Kolis) in Archway. The festival is a celebration of all forms of alternative culture, with art exhibitions, comic books, video clips and life drawing all featuring on this occasion, though the musical elements still occupy much of the day. There was a double-ended stage setup indoors (RAM and TWIN stages) and a small performance area outdoors (ARCHERS stage), and no less than 8 DJs filling in the gaps between the various performances. Here’s my contribution.

Scott and myself decided to run a one-off version of our Open Request List event on Easter Sunday 2017. Most of the tracks listed here are requests, though I did try to make some of the ‘link-up tracks’ biblical-themed (even if it was done with a degree of irony).
