Aubrey & Richie Porte Guest On Merle's Sessions...Jacks House...16th Feb 2014

0 - 90 mins: Merle & Richie B2B (Tech & Techno)
90 - 180 mins: Aubrey (Techno)

This Sunday I welcomed techno legend Aubrey to the lab, this is one session you will not want to miss!
Support comes from myself & after he blew our minds a few weeks ago it seemed an obvious choice to invite Richie Porte back for another session.
