Prins Thomas nu disco DJ set in The Lab LDN
If there is one thing more predictable than a sudden rail strike, it's the sheer volume of vintage silk shirts at a nu-disco gig. You know the type—lads who bought a rotary mixer during lockdown and now think they're the second coming of Larry Levan. They're all here, nodding sagely and nursing overpriced craft pints, completely oblivious to the fact they look like geography teachers on holiday. But to be fair, the vibe inside The Lab LDN is absolutely sorted, transformed into a sweaty, red-lit bunker of pure groove.
When you pull up a Prins Thomas live set, you expect a masterclass, and this Rominimal-infused journey doesn't disappoint. The technical wizardry is proper mad, coasting at an average 117.6 BPM with a tight range of 113-120 BPM, sliding seamlessly through Camelot keys from 12A to 5A without ever losing the floor's trust. The crate-digging on display in the Prins Thomas The Lab LDN tracklist is a joy for the heads. He casually drops hidden belters like 'Scape One & Tau Sagittarii - Cygnus' alongside the sprawling, hypnotic 14-minute groove of 'X-Press 2 - Say What! (London Underground Mix)'.
The journey is immaculately paced. Setting the mood with the opening track 'French 79 - Hometown', he builds an irresistible, chugging peak before wrapping up the absolute scenes with the closing track 'VEKY - Around the World'. Proper legendary stuff.
