An Evening with Session Victim | Fri 2 Sep | Hare & Hounds | £10
Session Victim head to the Hare and Hounds for a three-hour, vinyl-only set. With roots in soul and disco, Session Victim are an endlessly innovative house and techno DJ/production duo with big ideas from small German town Lüneberg. Digging deep into a vinyl collection representing several decades of hip hop, funk and soul, as well as an assortment of rare house and techno records only ever committed to wax, there is nothing that Session Victim enjoy more than unearthing treasures buried deep in the dusty vaults of dance subterranea. See our feature here.

02.31: Toucán and Holy Goof | Sat 3 Sep | Rainbow | From £7
