Since its inception in Feb this year, the all-new pop-up party called XXL by music and gastronomy event organiser Thugshop (the mastermind behind beloved techno landmark Headquarters) has already found fans within the scene. The electrifying party’s all about techno – dished out by some of the best local and international acts in the game. This time, with the help of event organiser Blackout Agency, Irish-born, Berlin-based Mano Le Tough graces the decks of MDLR at 62 Cecil Street with his assorted strains of house, techno, disco, new wave, and more. His electrifying sets have gained him a regular spot at party monoliths like Berghain’s Panorama Bar, the now-defunct Trouw, Robert Johnson, Warung and Output Brooklyn. He is supported by local act Maurice Simon, whose devotion to the deck and diversity of music genres draw parallels to Mano Le Tough’s methodology to music.
