Instra

The series launched in fine style last week with the aid of Instra:Mental and DirtyBird's Justin Martin, and this week Found's Beat Redemption/Join The Dots night plays host to deep house Renaissance man Ben Westbeech, who released his second album last month via the revitalised New York label Strictly Rhythm.

Clubs picks of the week 2011

Prefix 2010

Prefix 2010
