Yesterday’s Shadow – December 2017

DJ Setlist

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!

DJ Setlist

A return to DJing after a couple of months off, and back to Yesterday’s Shadow. By now you might know what to expect from me, but even here were a few surprises. One was the quite-unexpected request for Dernière Volonté (couldn’t resist that one).
