Greetings my plump, juicy lovlies, and as the fetid odour of partially digested sprouts begins to dissipate for another year, When Big Joan Sets Up picks up its boots and goes back to its roots with a contribution to Warp20 night.

A mix of classics and neglected gems from the dusty corners of the near faultless Warp records catalogue (we’re not going to mention Maximo Park as it’s Christmas and we’re in a good mood because we got gorilla slippers), alongside some of the banginest tunes from today’s new beat combos…
