    Effex
    Downtownlate-nightDetails

    Hybrid Minds are one of the UK acts most responsible for pulling liquid DnB toward something that actually sounds like music rather than a stress test for subwoofers.

    Effex
    DowntowndanceTickets

    Mr. AfterHours Presents brings the WHF 360° series to Effex for a Murphy's Law night, which in after-hours DJ culture means the format bends to wherever the energy goes rather...
