Heralded as the ‘perfect mix of of everything from the past 40 years of popular music' the Phenomenal Handclap Band collective started when Daniel Collás and Sean Marquand, two New York underground club DJs with an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of esoteric music ranging from Brazilian soul to vintage psych-rock got restless with playing other people's music and decided to produce their own.

You won't enter the fourth dimension or anything, but you will enter Loop bar and you will be at Ross Paxman's (ex-Young & Restless) new party night of disco psych, vintage house and "Balearic delight". The Emergency DJs are playing, so you can ask Morgan about the fourth dimension if you really want to know about it.

Art openings can be incredibly awkward affairs. You bumble in all enthusiastic and laughy, only to be met by a sea of quickly averted eyes and icy silence, prompting a diary check to make sure you haven't stumbled across a meeting of the Uptight Pricks Alliance.
Hell Gallery openings are more relaxed affairs, with lots of pleasant distractions such as music, dancing, movies and barbecued snags, all of which are generally frowned upon in the art world.

Last time we wrote about Orlando we described it as a night of ‘gay abandon'. Back for its third instalment, it's still gay, still full of ‘abandon', and charmingly lo-fi. The whole thing is run on a "crappy laptop", a mish-mash of indie, disco, hip hop and the energy of youth.
