LE YOUTH + BENNY & GAIN

Seeing Le Youth at The Nest in the middle of the British summertime is a match made in Dalston heaven. He conjures sounds soaked in sunshine, combining nineties vibes with a distinct modern aesthetic. Le Youth has had a string of huge releases since his breakthrough last year, with the TLC sampling “Dance With Me” reaching 11 in the UK charts back in February of this year. You can’t help but move to its Californian swagger and European flair. The house music that lit up dancefloors and dominated the airwaves around the globe during the 80s and 90s all had leisurely grooves, airy synthesizers and poppy hooks; just like Le Youth’s breakthrough single, “C O O L”. Catching Le Youth in such a compact club setting like that of The Nest is a real coup, as the young Californian smashes his way across huge venues all summer long. Joining him will be a couple of special guests, so stay tuned for more.
