Have a Sip on Some Summer Sounds Courtesy of Celeste London

Custom built for Prosecco poppin'.

It's not often on THUMP that you'll find a mix that effortlessly joins the dots between Norm Macdonald and Amerie, but London-based DJ and party thrower Liam Klimek, aka Celeste, has done just that on this sumptuous selection of sunkissed soul, deep fried disco, and mirrorball R&B.

Klimek's All My Friends bashes have become a staple of London nightlife, bringing the heat to Shoreditch's intimate Miranda Bar, deep in the heart of the ever-trendy Ace Hotel. Last time I was there I spun Moodymann tunes to shuffling Americans, while Liam served up Donald Byrd classics to suited and booted revellers. It's a riotously funky affair, and the kind of night where you can expect to hear Brazillian rare groove rub shoulders with horizontally laid back G-funk.

Next Friday sees Klimek bringing down Soulection selector Hannah Faith, NTS host Hector Plimmer and a few other guests for what's set to be a perfect start to the summer. Klimek reckons the mix is, "a selection of tracks fit for any poolside, cook-out and sunshine scenario," which has made our bowl of porridge seem really bland all of a sudden.

If you've not even thought about stocking up on Piz Buin yet, Klimek's got a few summer essentials to share with us. "I'd recommend everyone has a spare bottle of Aperol available at all times, twice as much ice as you think you'll need and all the Prosecco you can get your hands on before the drought begins."

All My Friends takes place on Friday June 5 at the Ace Hotel, Shoreditch. Entry's free so RVSP ASAP at allmyfriendslondon@gmail.com
