Welcome to No Skips. We trust you are preparing well for Singles Awareness Day this weekend. Here’s a glimpse of what’s on this week and what’s ahead.
THIS WEEK
FABRICLIVE x A.M.C: A.M.C feat. Phantom, Eatbrain Carnage, Bryan Gee, Buunshin, Etherwood
🗓 FRIDAY | 📍fabric
🎫 Tickets
A.M.C in full damage mode at fabric. High velocity drum and bass with Bryan Gee, Buunshin and more in tow. System pressure all night.
Palais: Chaos In The CBD Residency - Chaos & Friends
🗓 FRIDAY | 📍Palais
🎫 Tickets [Tickets available at door]
From early Rhythm Section days to global bookings, Chaos & Friends’ London roots still sit at the core of the sound. Warm basslines, dusty chords, patient builds. This one is sold out, so try and grab a ticket on resale, or head to the door.
KOKO Electric: Max Styler
🗓 SATURDAY | 📍KOKO
🎫 Tickets Here
Max Styler steps into the theatre for his debut with the kind of momentum that fills rooms before doors even open. Near a decade deep in production, he has moved from early electro roots into a sharper, club focused sound that hits hard without feeling bloated.
Herrensauna 10 Years
🗓 SATURDAY | 📍FOLD
🎫 Tickets Here
Ten years of Berlin’s toughest export. CEM, JASSS, MCMLXXXV, Slim Soledad. Extended sets in that FOLD darkness. Proper heads down territory.
UNFOLD CXVI
🗓 SUNDAY | 📍FOLD
🎫 Tickets Here
Lineup still under wraps but that’s the point. UNFOLD is about trust. You go for the journey, not the headliner. Expect long sets, subtle transitions and a floor that locks in for hours. This is patient techno and a crowd that is there to dance properly. Sunday night into Monday morning at FOLD remains one of the purest rituals in London.
INSIDER PICK
STROBE SOUNDSYSTEM Launch - A Guy Called Gerald, Saytek, Jah Scoop, Original Dubman
🗓 SATURDAY | 📍Hackney Bridge
🎫 Tickets Here
STROBE SOUNDSYSTEM lands with a heavyweight statement. A Guy Called Gerald live at the centre, running through acid lineage and UK rave DNA. Around him, a proper cross section of London’s underground. Saytek live techno pressure. Jah Scoop fusing dub reggae and acid. Serkus, Digital Pilgrimz and Rosa Gain pushing DnB and jungle. Fresh Lov3 and Rebecca Gough on techno detail. Mr Clottey on UKG. Zeb and Original Dubman holding down dub foundations. This one goes from 2pm-2am. It’ll be worth it.
WHAT’S ON - WEEKS AHEAD
Sam Gellaitry
🗓 Thu, 05 Mar | 📍Islington Assembly Hall
🎫 Tickets Here
Sam Gellaitry comes to London off the back of his debut album ANYWHERE HERE IS PERFECT. A technicolour, synesthesia driven world where sound becomes colour and emotion. Expect live vocals, big visuals and that glossy, future pop energy that sits between Kaytranada bounce and PinkPantheress pace.
No Skips Presents: Club Charli
🗓 Fri, 06 Mar | 📍Sui Generis, Dalston
🎫 Tickets Here
A full night dedicated to Charli XCX. DJs play her full catalogue all night. Early blog era cuts, pop classics, club edits, the chaotic emotional songs, the euphoric songs, and her collaborations with Troye Sivan and Billie Eilish to name a few. Expect a packed floor and big singalongs.
THE BOOTH
We teamed up with WATT to put together a list of the top techno tracks from the last year. Topping the list are Lilly Palmer, Bassjackers, RISKO, and Anyma.

neck by Mau P. The hook is minimal but sticky. A vocal chop that locks you in, then that rolling low end that keeps tension simmering rather than exploding. It is built for peak time but leaves space. Currently on our rotation.

EDITORIAL
We had the pleasure of working with Club Culture to produce The Top London Clubs Guide using a mix of reviews and top-rated venues by you all. We’re excited for who came out ontop.
UK collective, label and platform Not Bad For A Girl published an open letter calling for more gender and racial parity across club and festival lineups. The letter, shared on Instagram asks when underrepresented artists stopped getting booked. Research highlights one London club season dominated by male bookings, including a lineup made up entirely of men. At a major UK festival, nearly 80 percent of acts are men. The letter argues that representation is slipping rather than advancing. A number of industry figures have signed in support, including Wez Saunders, Jyoty, Naina, Saoirse, Jamz Supernova, HAAi and Jaguar.
