Alright folks. Here's this week's jamboree of genius. 

Festivals

We're getting to the business end of festival season, reflected by the monster back to back set from Sasha, Nic Fanciulli and Joris Voorn announced for The Social. In the excitement we've also looked at the Cocoon arena at EH1, rounded up five of the best acts at Forgotten Fields, and relived our weekend at Kendal Calling (including the train there).

Clubs

The big rave season draws ever nearer. In:Motion have announced their Autumn line ups, XOYO turn three soon, Nicky Romero is coming and Todd Terje will be in a cathedral. God it's exciting isn't it?

Ibiza is still here too, so we looked at what to expect next month on the island whilst asking MistaJam for his insider tips. And we've partied pretty hard in the office to Hannah Wants (above) and Greg Wilson - we suggest you do the same.

Live Music

Big tour news from both Faithless and Fidlar this week, and the new Maccabees album is a gud 'un. We had a look at what's on offer from This is Tmrw in Birmingham, and if you've not watched this amazing Foo Fighters video yet then you need to. Now. 

That's me done. I'm off to pray and hope the new Dr Dre album is boss.
