Qabalala! with Dave Maclean (Django Django) @ The Third Door, 16 September

With live sets from Rudi Zygadlo and Auntie Flo getting things off to a smashing start back in April, Qabalala! returns this month for a much anticipated second run at The Third Door. The event, run by Hugo Fluendy and Ed Stack, the latter being the mastermind behind the innovative download portal Ten Tracks, will be a night of artistic exploration based on the pair’s ‘maximalist neo-psyche' manifesto. "We embrace all manner of different musical genres and styles, as well as other art forms, with the intention of creating something totally new and exciting," says Fluendy.

Dave Maclean, the creative helm of Django Django will take to the decks with a retro-inspired set, digging out forgotten dancefloor classics and left-field gems which conjure the funky, neo-psyche sound to match the Qabalala! vision and, following along similar sonic lines, art-rockers PET will deliver a live performance of their sun-drenched electronic and effects-driven arrangements. Fluendy will be warming up with his own eclectic array of records along with The Cosmic Dead, who tend to launch "an absolutely seismic sonic attack." "They’ve got loads of spirit and seem to sum up our approach," Fluendy enthuses. "Ultimately it’s about throwing a really great party, hence our credo: maximum enjoyment through more of everything."
