What's On: Armin van Buuren

Welcome to No Skips. Carnival's swept up and the city's back on schedule, but this weekend still brings some of the heaviest bookings we've seen. FOLD links up with Tbilisi's BASSIANI for 15 hours straight, Kenny Larkin heads a Detroit-leaning session at fabric, and DJ Hype brings three decades of Playaz to Phonox. Here's a glimpse of what's on this week and what's ahead.

FOLD meets BASSIANI (EXTENDED)
🗓 SATURDAY | 📍 FOLD
🎟 Tickets
Tbilisi's Dinamo Arena residents take over Canning Town for 15 hours straight. BASSIANI's ethos of welfare and freedom on the dancefloor meets FOLD's own, first time the two clubs have properly linked up. Two rooms, no clock watching.

30 Years of Playaz: DJ Hype, DJ Hazard, Heist, Taxman + more
🗓 FRIDAY | 📍 Phonox
🎟 Tickets
Three decades of jump up from the label that basically wrote the rulebook. DJ Hype still runs a room like it's 1996. Heist and Taxman fill out a bill built for people who already know the tunes.

fabric: Danilo Plessow (MCDE), Kenny Larkin, Seb Odyssey
🗓 SATURDAY | 📍 fabric
🎟 Tickets
Detroit techno royalty Kenny Larkin lands in Room One alongside MCDE's deep, soulful house. Two decades of history between them and neither one plays it safe.

The Cause x Cortex: Loxy, DJ Flight, Nectax, CHEZA LUCINA
🗓 SATURDAY | 📍 The Cause
🎟 Tickets
One final end of summer session with the Cortex crew, up in The Gallery. Jungle and drum and bass from people who've been doing this since before it had a name.

A State of Trance: Armin van Buuren
🗓 Sat, 14 Nov | 📍 Drumsheds
🎟 Tickets
The first indoor ASOT in the UK, 25 years into the brand. Armin van Buuren headlines a full Drumsheds takeover built for a name that's outlasted most of the genres around it. Book now, not the week before.

TOMORA
🗓 Wed, 28 Oct | 📍 Roundhouse
🎟 Tickets
Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers and AURORA, together for the first time. New project, one London show, a Roundhouse date built around something neither has done solo.

Anyma & Stylo — "No Good (Start The Dance)"
The Prodigy's 1994 rave anthem, rebuilt into cinematic melodic techno without losing the original's teeth. Road tested at EDC Mexico before it had a release date. Straight into rotation.
