I’m still in LaLa land, but first time contributor and avid fùtbol fan, Renzo , was able to cover the dance inferno going on at Beta.

**************
Last year’s Dj set at Cervantes hinted that great things were on the way for The Juan MacLean. Juan created an inclusive disco, electro and classic house with more live instrumentation which features Whang on vocals, alongside a drummer and synth player. The most clear evidence of this is the single “ One Day” but the highlight of the night was the 15 minute version of “Happy House”. It was definitely worth calling in sick the next day.
