I kept a list of everyone that I saw in 2016. Was quite stressful (the worst being when you have like one MC billed and then 10 of their mates that you don't know the names of turn up) to be honest but it's quite nice now to look back and remember nights out.

Looks like I started off mostly going to see grime and other UK bass genres with more and more techno creeping in as the year went on with little bits of PC music dotted around the place. Seems pretty accurate.
Chunky and Grandmixxer are who I've seen the most this year, at fives times each. Which is strange because I don't actually particularly like either of them. But I suppose they're both trendy, UK based and probably quite cheap to book so it makes sense that they get about.
Best night of the year was probably the Berceuse Heroique showcase at FWD>>. From Beneath's intense intro of the words "you stupid fucking bastard" repeated again and again for like five minutes with loads of reverb and delay building it up into a scary wall of sound. To Hodge laying down unreleased banger after unreleased banger. To Koehler managing to incorporate pretty much every genre I think there is.
Best tune I heard was probably Digital Emotion - 'Go Go Yellow Screen' which Truss somehow magically mixed into his set of dark, UK, techno stompers. I remember being very overwhelmed at the time by how amazing I thought it was.

So yeah, pretty good year. But even with just the stuff that's been announced to far, 2016 is looking even better.
