Neu Blessa: The afterparty

It’s a Saturday night. You’ve just finished hanging out at the DIY London All-Dayer, you’ve had some drinks and you’re not quite ready for things to finish just yet. What better way to ease in the early hours of Sunday than by grabbing a few mates, grabbing a few crates and heading back to someone’s flat? Better yet, you can stick on some music and really keep things going.

Luckily, Blessa know exactly what to do when it comes to these situations: not only will the band be gracing us with their presence at the Hackney gig this weekend, but they’ve supplied the perfect after party playlist too.

“Whenever I’ve had people over to my flat after a night out, I have on several occasions had an overwhelming desire to put on ‘Good Morning, Captain’ by Slint,” the band told DIY of the inspiration behind their choices. “In the past I have been subjected to everything from Bright Eyes to Phillip Glass at flat parties. It’s not right. Should you decide to play the role of gracious host you have a responsibility to make sure people don’t totally regret their decision by playing music that bums everybody out. Like Boyz 2 Men, it should be ‘not too hard, not too soft’. Here’s our guide to the late night flat party.”
