Pretty Pretty Good have just announced house titan John Talabot for the first party of their Autumn season on Friday 21st September at Hope Works.
This will mark a Sheffield debut for the Spanish artist, whose productions and DJ sets have garnered a vast appeal from the house, techno, indie and disco worlds over the last decade. Talabot burst onto the scene back in 2011 with his Families EP on the indie label Young Turks, before his debut album ƒIN took his name worldwide with its balearic house and electro influences. Since then he has gone on to remix The xx and to collaborate with Axel Boman on the Talaboman project, the hypnotic debut album of which saw critical acclaim across the board last year.
