Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Straying slightly from their usual path, Timedance are bringing two stalwarts of the Manchester club scene to The Island. Samrai and Platt - aka Swing Ting - are some of the North West’s most renowned selectors of dancehall, grime, garage and beyond, carrying the torch for a long legacy of DJs merging Caribbean soundsytem and UK club music. With Batu_music in support, we’re expecting an unusual blend of two corners of dance music, a safe pair of hands to deliver it. Tickets: hdfst.uk/E45739"
