Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Bobby Beethoven eats avant-club kidz for breakfast! This mythical club trickster paved the way for the dominant experimentalism across dancefloors today, influencing everyone from Arca to umru. His unpredictable Rekordbox-free approach twists everything from industrial kuduro and modern classical to pumping house and ingeniously weird r’n’b reimaginings in the blink of an eye. Huge tip!"

Big bucket list booking here in the form of Bobby Beethoven. Reinvented the game through the 2010s under his 'Total Freedom' alias, pioneering a new style of unpredictable, eclectic and maximalist mixing that's directly influenced everyone from Arca to umru. Expect anything from jagged R'n'B edits to industrial kuduro, silky house trax, tranced-out soundscapes or propulsive post-punk.
He's been a key figure in many seminal scenes over the past decade plus; from being a founding member of LA's Fade To Mind and NYC's GHE20G0TH1K, to his association with keystone UK collective Night Slugs and now Evian Christ's Trance Party. A massive influence on many of us here at PTS and a top top tip! He'll be closing things out with a two hour set.
Support comes from our own ALYA L and Club Djembe's DJ Stolen - his first PTS since 2018!
