Other things coming up:
4 March: Run The Road night at Fabric12 March: Tiefschwarz and Alter Ego at The Key
― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 23:57 (nineteen years ago) link
What Ricky said, plus MIA and Roots Manuva are playing Brixton Academy on March 4 as well so it could well be the best night ever.
― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 00:03 (nineteen years ago) link
villalobos at fabric this saturday will be good (well, the last couple of hours of his set were amazing last time, anyway) but i'm giving it a miss as there's no-one else playing that i'm keen to see.
― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 08:52 (nineteen years ago) link
I can't do the 4th, although MIA + Manuva + whoever they wheel out for Run The Road (almost certainly Kano I'd imagine) would be a pretty awesome run.
I am too much of a wuss to cope with proper clubbing on a school night, sadly, so this Thursday is out for me.

I still haven't been able to get into Get Physical properly bar the odd tune or two, but hopefully a night actually dancing to the stuff will sort that out.
Argh Toby, are you aware how much poorer and more exhausted this thread is going to make me in the coming months?

any sort of dancing! I mean I would love to find a decent R&B night in London, and people to go with.
also for gay dancing I'll be at GAY this Saturday for the Girls Aloud appearance.

the key is in weird railyard no-man's-land around the station, the kind of area in which you're supposed to walk in groups.
xpost - yes, i'd love some r&b dancing. whatever patience i had for techno has pretty much vanished.

I will be dancing at the Shoegazing Club on the 24th February (at Legion on Old Street) but I suspect everyone else will be dancing at Freaky Trigger.

People may scoff, but Popstarz is totally where you should go. The bottom floor is sticky, but it plays all the above. And then you can escape to Pop heaven on the top floor, make out with someone on the balcony and then dance to schmindie on the middle floor when you're so drunk you don't care that they're playing Razorlight.

Miss L speaks for me - I need to rock to hip hop and r&b again, and good old pop for that matter, 'cause I'm too burned on this electro house guff now. I'll do Annie, Tiefschwarz, Rex, and Get Physical, but beyond that...Truth is, I may have actually had more fun at Club Seal than Vitalic (Psycho Pab excepted). I still want to go to Trash at least once.
Oh, and I have plans tonight, so no go.

We have Neville Watson guest DJing for us who is absolutely going to smash it, the space is very intimate, and we are also putting it on for FREE simply because we like to throw a good party, so no excuses really. https://www.facebook.com/events/257377207746381/?fref=ts

Hadn't really been out dancing in a while until this weekend. I think my tolerance for London nights is waning. It's the same problems of the last few years really - crap temporary venues, lack of organisation, but most of all the people. Why charge around the dance floor back and forth pushing people? Why get so out of it you can't stand up so fall into other dancers? If your friend does this you have a duty to help them. I had a good night at Netil House on Saturday but that was really due to being with good friends and Sonja Moonear's set. Fantastic DJ. Would definitely go out more often if there weren't these issues.
― mmmm, Monday, 3 February 2014 14:05 (ten years ago) link
Come and try our night on the 22nd in Dalston. We only have a tiny sweatbox venue which holds 50, and only an OK soundsystem, but we keep it free, have a great atmosphere, friendly crowd (mostly mates, word of mouth and some posts in select places) and most importantly great tunes. OK, that last part can be subjective, so here’s a mix by another of the residents: https://soundcloud.com/frank_mitchell/demented-but-determined.
