Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Chop’n’screwed goa trance dubbing you into a silky dancefloor ecstasy. Paris’ Full Circle are on a mission to reclaim the sensual chug of 90s Balaerica to free modern dancefloors from their black t shirts. Take the blue pill and jump down that rabbit hole kids, there’s a whole other kind of club down there FFO: FSOL, On U Sound, Vladimir Ivkovic, Tolouse Low Trax and the Salon des Amateurs revolution."

A clubnight held at Strange Brew on Saturday 4th March. The event starts at 22:30.
The Abominable Slowman and Club Blanco present:
- Full Circle
Bristol debut for Parisian shamans Alexis Le Tan and Joakim, aka Full Circle. Serving the spiritual need for slower, more sensual movements in light of the contemporary BPM arms race, Full Circle look back to go forward - or, more pertinently - perpendicular to the dance music continuum; corkscrewing classic early ‘90s trance and cosmic Italian disco models along lines of inspiration from Middle Eastern and Subcontinental musics to open dancers’ third eyes and weave their chakras into sexier shapes.
In the foggiest recesses of our memory, this kind of lark used to be so much more commonplace in the backrooms of clubs during the ‘90s and even into the early ‘00s, but has become lost-in-translation with successive waves of ravers expecting full throttle from start to finish, or at least a sort of escalating narrative arc. Full Circle stand for a sort of romantic counter-cultural aspect of dance music that feels more necessary now than ever. Their DJ sets, productions and remixes are just the medicine; a bounty of sun-dazed goodness, balancing spangled bodies and minds with slinky Goa beatdowns and drug chug trance edits weaved together seamlessly.
- The Abominable Slowman b2b Chez de Milo
Continuing in keen pursuit of the heat-seeking sound of late ‘80s/early ‘90s Goa beach parties and Balearic terrazzos, Bristol's own Sam Hall and James Dyer come together to raise the temperature at the inception of the night bringing together their own downtempo melange of screwed classics and original productions.
