Three Victoria favourites here to make you dance the night away to the best in House, Techno, Tech House, and some greasy curveballs thrown for good measure. Shane Lighter has been a favourite of ours and his sets always show us why- bumping, edgy and fun 4/4 dance music. He’ll be shutting this one down 12:30-2. Sarah-Hannah is an Island veteran who has DJed all over the world- her last set at the club was on New Years Eve. 11-12:30. Dave Dirk is a dance music afficianado whose sets always hit on the floor- House, Techno, Blog House, Electro- always showing deep crates sensibilities and making us dance- he’ll be serving the 9-11 extended opening set.
