I'd see Gorgon City live now if I knew they were playing town. Listened to a few of their mixes on youtube during lockdown. Not my ideal style, but imagine they're decent events seeing live. Particularly as rarely get anything that interesting down here...
I like some of Duke Dumont stuff too, but again not my real preference.
They had Hed Kandi night fairly recently in Bournemouth... at Canvas iirc(old Bumbles site basically... bet some on here have stories about that place
). Mark Doyle was dj'ing. He founded Hed Kandi and drove it into popularity/more mainstream awareness around mid 2000's, before selling it at its peak to Ministry of Sound. He then started Fierce Angel up... as preferred more under the radar labels.
They had many Hed Kandi nights at Crank during its peak, before I lost interest in it. They used to have nights at small club on Sunday night up at Landsdowne, when it was more underground. Never went, as had to work Mondays...
Didnt mention Academy/Opera House, but used to go there a lot. Flagship Slinky night on Friday, Curious on Sunday. Slinky was basically considered a superclub in the trance era. Right up there with Gatecrasher, Ministry of Sound, Cream, Godskitchen. Attracted worlds best trance, sometimes hard house, dj's every friday. then upstairs (benedicts) it was cocoshebeen - with best drum n basss dj's around - not my kind of music. Loved trance back then, but cant stand it now. Too sickly, over the top synths, drum rolls, buildups etc. Gatecrasher sound was the one for me out of all of them...
I mainly listen to Matthias Tanzmann, Marco Carola, Mahony, Richie Hawtin, Martinez Brothers, Tania Vulcano, Hotsince82, Luciano, Stacey Pullen, Steve Lawler mixes now. Dc10/circo loco, musicon, solidgroves tech house/minimal techno now.
