8 Venues down, 10 to go. This is the “Annie Mac Presents” Tour of the UK which I am really annoyed I am not able to attend.

The madness started in Lincoln on the 28th September with Annie Mac, Simian Mobile disco and others at the Engine Shed. Recent gigs in Oxford, Birmingham and Manchester were HUGE, and have included people like Yuksek, Surkin and Kissy Sell Out.

Bournemouth is next on the list with someone who really needs no introduction, Mr Erol Alkan. Some words from the profile of him on Annie Mac’s website sums up his career so far:

“That’s the thing about Erol Alkan hearing is believing. Until’you’ve borne witness to one of his legendary live sets, poured’headily over one of his meticulously crafted productions, or been’catapulted to a sudden sonic nirvana by the dropping of one of his’remixes, you might be justified for dismissing his existence as an’extremely elaborate myth of the musical underground. After all, how’can one man, still in his early thirties, have kept so many kids’dancing for so long?”

He is at Bournemouth on the 14th November and then the tour continues throughout the UK from Brighton, to London and all the way up to Liverpool and Newcastle. The tour dates can be found on the official Annie Mac Presents website.

I would love to be able to make it to Fabric, London on the 21st November to see Annie, Yuksek, Surkin, DJ Mehdi, Brodinski, Chase and Status but I can’t! So… anyone who has a chance to catch one of these nights - GO TO IT! I highly recommend!
