Not to be forgotten amongst one of the best Field Day line ups to date, and an incredible Shore Thing on NYE, Future Music organised a sideshow to set the bar for the rest of 2013, One Night Only at Home last weekend.
Featuring electronic extraordinaires Booka Shade, pioneers of dance The Chemical Brothers (who have been debating with Tommie Sunshine) and finishing with Carl Craig in the main room, One Night Only quickly drew a crowd looking to catch missed festival sets, or re-live them in a more intimate club setting, and all three delivered shows that reinforced the hype leading up to the gig.
However it was the upstairs performances of Scuba and Maya Jane Cole that came as a surprising and very welcome booking, made obvious by the hundreds of people trying to squeeze into a room that held half the capacity; perhaps an issue the venue could have pre-emptively addressed by giving them a bigger space in one of the other rooms, but certainly not one that detracted from the intensity and energy of their sets.
