Clubs, bars, restaurants, theatres and other public establishments may be temporarily closed, but thanks to the marvel of live streaming it's not all doom and gloom.
Dance music was founded on the industrious DIY aptitude of its founding fathers. No obstacle was too big back then, and so the case proves now. In spite of the uncertain times in which we find ourselves, one certainty is that the music will not stop.
Aided by the wonder of modern technology, today's modern stars have picked up the baton. You may have already seen Charlotte de Witte and Anna Tur last weekend or Erick Morillo and Jamie Jones earlier in the week.
The good news is that more live streams are right around the corner. Whilst we implement isolation and social distancing, here are the streams that will shed some light and entertainment into our housebound lives.

Streaming live and direct from iconic London nightclub Ministry Of Sound, you can watch house heroes such as Darius Syrossian, Sam Divine and Joey Negro from the comfort of your own home. The stream starts at midday straight through to midnight UK time.
