The last YS of 2017 was an ‘invitational’ where all DJs who’d played the event during the year were invited back for one more go. I was of course up for it as ever, though the 8 DJ line-up meant sets were necessarily short and an early start the next day also meant an midnight end for me. I’m still amazed about how much I fitted in, though!

Laibach – Alle Gegen Alle
Kraftwerk – Pocket Calculator

Set 2 – 11:30pm
In an era when Whamageddon is actually a thing, cheesy Christmas hits were banned at this event. Foul-mouthed punky ones? They’re still OK. But first better get something tuneful in……
