If ever there was a truism to the statement ‘Selection trumps the mix’ then it belongs to Aficionado. A party built around the ethos of great music first and foremost, no posturing, no influencers, no hype, just selections of the finest order. To mark 25 years since that first party in 1998, hosts Jason Boardman and Moonboots have curated a compilation that captures the Aficionado sound.

Whatever DJ or dance music forum you spend your time on, no doubt you will have come across a post which divides opinion more than anything else; vinyl versus digital. Do not worry, we are not going to go down that shady avenue but instead leave those two giants to continue their ongoing fight for justice. Instead, we thought it would be interesting to look at some of the fringe and forgotten formats that have hosted electronic music over the last few decades. There is of course the CD and in more recent years the revival of the tape cassette which both have their important..

Following on from last month’s ‘Top 10 UK Dance Festivals for 2023’ we thought we’d cast our eyes further afield and select a few of the best parties on the continent this summer. Going overseas to festivals has become much more commonplace in recent years, largely due to the cost of flights and the chance you might stay dry and warm for the weekend. Here are Trackhunter’s 10 Euro picks for this coming summer, from the small discerning party right up to the epic hardcore bang fest.
