I've just come from a meeting at the Opera House and I'm not kidding - it looks amazing.. as soon as I can I'll get some pictures up on here.

In the meantime, gather round... we're putting together a series of large-ass parties with Arthur Baker's Return to New York.

The first of these will be on Friday July 6th, and then we'll have a monthly Saturday starting mid-August.

For now, just tick "I'll Be There" if you're coming and we'll tell you more over the coming weeks...

To get tickets now go here, or visit Frolic Records.

We have got some unbelievable parties lined-up for the Opera House - line-ups that we just couldn't put together in any other venue - and now the venue is in another league compared to the Opera House we all remember...

Get the news first... sign up for Maison's newsletters and join our DSI group.

More info coming your way soon...
