Hard House Icon Andy Farley Returns to XOYO in November
Promising another unforgettable exhibition of Hard Dance prowess, Andy Farley returns to XOYO on Saturday, 2nd November, to deliver an undeniably nostalgic 10-hour vinyl-only performance at ‘Pure Andy Farley’. This sell-out event series has been an increasingly popular jewel in the programming at XOYO with the legendary Farely now clocking up over 10 editions of his unmissable daytime rave at the Shoreditch-based venue. Kicking off at 11am and with over 50,000 records to choose from, Farley will be nothing less than on-form at this marathon session. For tickets and more information, visit www.xoyo.co.uk.
Ask any Hard House clubber to name a DJ who epitomises the Hard Dance scene; chances are, they will suggest Andy Farley. A pioneering DJ with over 35 years of experience, Farley is a standout for his seamless mixing and precision tune selection. Starting as a vinyl collector of rare soul and R&B records, he sold his collection to buy his first decks and gained recognition in the mid-90s as a resident at Birmingham’s Tins Tins, where he helped shape a harder-edged sound. With residencies at hard dance brands Sundissential, Storm, Progress, and Frantic (now in its 25th year), Andy Farley is a global favourite appearing all over the world and on home turf at countless Tidy Weekenders and Creamfields.
At ‘Pure Andy Farley’, running since 2010, clubbers can expect a mindblowing showcase from Farley’s vast record collection as he journeys through House, Hard House, and Trance. With over 140 tracks, 80 remixes, and commercial albums like “Hard House Nation” and “Music for a Harder Generation” to his name, fans will be captivated by a true artist throughout his entire 10-hour performance.
XOYO has firmly established itself as a hub for bass music lovers in London. After a standout summer packed with performances from some of the biggest names in the scene, the club is continuing to break new ground with its cutting-edge lineups. In recent months, it has hosted a stellar mix of talent, with legends like Goldie and Andy C delivering unforgettable sets alongside genre-blurring acts like Ed Solo and Deekline. The club welcomed veterans Ray Keith and the legendary duo Fabio & Grooverider. At the same time, acts like SASASAS, Zed Bias, N-Type, and Matrix & Futurebound kept things fresh and forward-thinking.
With its unwavering focus on pushing the boundaries of electronic music, XOYO has become a beacon of London’s diverse and inclusive nightlife. By consistently curating unique, boundary-pushing experiences, the venue has solidified its place as a cultural mainstay in the city’s ever-evolving club scene.
