5 Love Inn Party Starters with Ellie Stokes

 

As the club’s Booking Coordinator and an established DJ in her own right, Ellie Stokes knows how to read the room at The Love Inn better than most. Here, she picks out five tracks guaranteed to get things going at one of our favourite Stokes Croft venues. 

 

'Ripple'

Nicola Cruz

"The Afro-Latin inspired Ripple has a real, raw energy courtesy of percussive 606 drums. Would be right at home in some pre-historic dance!"

 

'My Dog Has Fleas'

Kim Ann Foxman

"A juicy, slinky, 80s-informed jam. It’s full of all the fresh vocal samples, guitar and cosmic flare you’d expect from such a hedonistic NYC gang. A good one to push the vibes from the warm-up."

 

'Resist The Beat'

3am Spares

"Few tracks have got that peak 3am hands-in-the-air magic, but this is certainly one of them. Proper 90s Belgium style."

 

'Cruisin'

"Definitely one for the warm-up. Infectious downtempo cosmic grooves from the German artist and Rat Life label boss."

 

'Don't Take It (Thomos Edit)'

Armando

"Classic noughties acid house from the one and only Armando. Played many a time at The Love Inn and it always, always goes off!"
