CTRL returns to the capital...

Last night saw Topman CTRL take over the industrial-chic surroundings of Fabric in East London, with a characteristically diverse line-up chosen by Diplo.

A warm-up set from resident DJ Stopmakingme was followed by quirky Brit-pop tri Micachu & The Shapes and sets from Primary 1, Mumdance and Benga. For the full review, plus all the gossip and photos check out our MySpace Page.
