Weekend Adventure Review: The Hydra x Electric Minds
Last Saturday (3rd October) we adventured down to East London’s Studio Spaces, to attend one of the most talked about winter series “The Hydra.” Teaming with Electric Minds and featuring the talented acts of Levon Vincent, Move D & Mr.G, this line up, this venue, and these promotors sure set its bar high.
