Five reasons for middle-aged clubbers to celebrate this summer

If your listening tastes got stuck on a dancefloor in late 1998, you are in luck. The Chemical Brothers return in July with the very impressive ‘Born in the Echoes’ album (featuring St Vincent and Q-Tip). Leftfield return with new album ‘Alternative Light Source’, while Groove Armada are also resurfacing with ‘Little Black Book’. It’s packaged as a super-stylish scrapbook complete with two CDs – a new set of fizzy house bangers and a remix disc of classics like ‘I See You Baby’. Maybe combining books and beats is a new trend? Another ’90s favourite, French house legend Laurent Garnier has released an album-cum-book too, called ‘Electrochoc’.

August’s SW4 festival in Clapham Common features three of the biggest hitters of a generation – Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx and Faithless – who are celebrating 20 years of no sleep in 2015. Even though they (miraculously) draw quite a young audience, The Prodigy are another option. They play the SSE Arena in December supported by Public Enemy.
