Feeling the heat of Love Fever


Wolf & Lamb and Bicep head-up London Bank Holiday party


LOVE FEVER, OVAL SPACE, LONDON


BANK HOLIDAYS are a rare and beautiful thing. Without fail they bestow us with guilt- free daytime raving and some of the fi nest line-ups of the month, if not entire year. The only downside of bank holiday hype is the physical impossibility of being in more than one place at a time. Love Fever though is a clear winner from the word go, promising a daytime BBQ, giant balloons and a four-hour Wolf & Lamb set, a fail-proof formula for a sell-out event, even if the promoter’s people management skills on a certain online forum somewhat mar the anticipation. On Sunday at 4pm we leave the back streets of Hackney to enter Oval Space. Since hosting


the Dirtybird party in April, Oval Space has landed on the map as one of East London’s most exciting new venues. Upon arrival we push through a set of heavy duty swing doors into what resembles an American high-school gymnasium circa 1976. We’re hit by a potent and intoxicating cloud of vanilla-scented smoke (later confi rmed to have been intended to create a sexy vibe). Nodding along to the groovy disco beats on offer, the distinctly trendy crowd seem intent on standing on the periphery of the room creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a prepubescent school disco.
