  • Huntleys & Palmers Audio Club take on London image
  • Glasgow promoters Huntleys & Palmers Audio Club will head south of the border on August 28th for the first in a series of parties in the English capital. For the last 18 months, Huntleys & Palmers Audio Club have set about the task of bringing top tier house and disco talent to Glasgow, with the odd musical curve ball thrown-in to boot. Todd Terje, James Holden, Daniele Baldelli and Solomun have all been shipped to various locations across the city to date. For what they hope will be the first in a series of London-based events, H&PAC have plumped for Shoreditch hipster enclave The Horse & Groom as their maiden venue, and have secured a line-up in keeping with their mixed musical policy. Ali Renault-one half of daggy disco duo Heartbreak-will top the bill with a live set, and he'll be joined in the "main room" by Nelson & Goodhand from forward-thinking Glaswegian club collective Numbers. (Check the first third of our specially commissioned Wireblock mix for a sample of Nelson's skills behind the decks.) Meanwhile, DFA and Dissident's Cage & Aviary will be heading-up the second room, with support coming from Hardway Bros member and Future Flash resident Sean Johnston, and Nathan G. Wilkes of History Clock fame.
