OK I've just found out that my prior arrangement tonight (the Plan B night) is actually just around the corner from Plastic People! and to be perfectly honest Mayer and Kittin will be much more fun. I may show my face at the Spitz, then hotfoot it over to PP - I worry about the ltd tickets on the door selling out though.

is anyone else definitely going?

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 17 February 2005 10:41 (8 years ago) Permalink

i'd like to see Mayer but don't think i can do this really due to enormous list of things to do that will only increase in size further if i go clubbin' on a schoolnight, sob

i want to go tonight but i can't because i'm ill.

tiefschwarz on march 12th and get physical in april are definitely in the diary tho.

*BAMF* Did someone mention dancing?

― Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Thursday, 17 February 2005 12:13 (8 years ago) Permalink

i'm undecided about this eve, but leaning towards not going, i think.

Rex The Dog should be playing around town a bit over the next few months. Keep an eye on Plastic People...

More aceness coming up, unfortuantly on the same bloody night:

Sat 26th Feb, Fabric - bPitch Control room: Ellen Allien, Tomas Andersson, Sylvie Marks, Smash TV. Steve Bug, Rub n Tug & Idjut Boys in other rooms.

xpost - yes, i'd love some r&b dancing. whatever patience i had for techno has pretty much vanished.

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.

i've gone the other way from Lauren and Barima and lately enjoy dancing to/hearing out electro/techno more than I have for some time.

I haven't been to an urban (i'm just gonna keep using that term because i prefer it to anything else) night since Fez Club in Putney ages ago which was actually really good, even when they played Fatman Scoop for the second time...

You mentalists aren't going to see Miss Kittin?

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 17 February 2005 12:41 (8 years ago) Permalink

if it was a live set i would!

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 12:45 (8 years ago) Permalink

I mean, just go smooch on her at least. Give her one for me!

You just stay outta our way then, bitch.

Roxy, I would so kiss Caroline if I was going :-(.

― Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Thursday, 17 February 2005 12:48 (8 years ago) Permalink

I'm still contemplating the Kittin. dunno. I fear a) tickets running out by the time I haul my disorganised ass over to Plastic People, and b) ruin tomorrow.

For those wanting to POP, I reiterate: Girls Aloud at GAY on Saturday!

Bah to the Feb 26 goodness, it is a friend's birthday then.

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 17 February 2005 12:49 (8 years ago) Permalink

Alex, be real, you know there's no way I'm going to see Girls Aloud.

― Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Thursday, 17 February 2005 12:50 (8 years ago) Permalink

i'll miss the 26th stuff too as i will be in Svenska

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:02 (8 years ago) Permalink

But I thought we were going to Sweden that weekend!

― alix (alix), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:04 (8 years ago) Permalink

for sure...

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:07 (8 years ago) Permalink

I was gonna comment on The Popstarz Debate but then I realised that I like and dislike club nights entirely on the basis of whether or not they let me in when I was underage, which is kinda useless to, y'know, adults.

I wish I could see Girls Aloud or Miss Kittin.

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:10 (8 years ago) Permalink

Flattered and all, but you are a mentalist. The Output night on the 26th looks pretty fantastic. Is this a proper Black Strobe decksnfx thing?

Also, am I the only person who finds rebranding the Camden Palace as 'Koko' utterly hilarious?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:33 (8 years ago) Permalink

come and see Girls Aloud, Greg and Barima! there are no reasons for you not to.

It's looking less and less likely that I will be chez Kittin tonight :(

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:46 (8 years ago) Permalink

Girls Aloud? Holy fuck I wish I were in London this week. :(

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:47 (8 years ago) Permalink

Man, I'd love to see Girls Aloud on Saturday. But I've already said I'm going to see The Schla La Las who are, like, the indie Girls Alound or something.

― Kate Kept Me Alive! (kate), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:48 (8 years ago) Permalink

I've been overdoing the social which is why although I am TEMPTED I shall be good and STAY IN until Club Pfffft.

(Probably)

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:52 (8 years ago) Permalink

i'm even a bit tempted by one of these oldskool rave nights sometimes

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:52 (8 years ago) Permalink

Well to be fair the GA'll probably be a five-song PA or something. But Ria and I are treating it as an hors d'oeuvre for the MAIN TOUR in May!

I think I may have to skip Club FT this month. but when can I DJ at it?

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:53 (8 years ago) Permalink

Lex are you going to the GA gig in Hammersmith in May? i can't wait!

Steve - Lukey of this parish swears by Raindance. I've not been tempted yet.

― pete b. (pete b.), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:58 (8 years ago) Permalink

yeah but we've got tickets for May 29 whereas everyone else seems to have them for the 28th :(

― RickyT (RickyT), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:59 (8 years ago) Permalink

If any of you fancy a trip to Dublin, Black Strobe March 16th, at our club, and Optimo sometime in April, I think.

I was half thinking of trying to organise some friends to organise a party next time I'm in London, cos I want to DJ now, everywhere and anywhere!

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 17 February 2005 14:01 (8 years ago) Permalink

I am also a bit tempted by an oldskool rave thing.

do such things exist?! I have been awaiting the early 90s rave revival for YEARS!

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 17 February 2005 14:14 (8 years ago) Permalink

they've existed for some time now. Camden Palace actually did one of the bigger ones for ages featuring Ratpack live etc. regularly.

think there was something at The Arches a few weeks back too, old skool vs new skool breaks sort of thing.

Butlins are doing some big 90s revival thing at their camps where the likes of Baby D play as well as a lot of rub pop stuff. madness...

i want to go to Dublin, and Black Strobe would be a good excuse, but it might be too soon i'll see...

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 14:22 (8 years ago) Permalink

Lex I have at least two great reasons for not seeing the G.A.! They are FINALS and POVERTY.

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 17 February 2005 14:26 (8 years ago) Permalink

My friend has been to a couple of places selling themselves as "old school rave" but has reported back that they are really actually rub, so I'd be careful about which venue you choose. Alternatively just HAVE A FOOKIN' HOUSE PARTY with "Rave Nation 92".

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Thursday, 17 February 2005 14:43 (8 years ago) Permalink

dont forget back to yours at herbal with martin landsky on feb 26th

its a good night, the resident, margeret dygas is a wicked dj

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 17 February 2005 14:47 (8 years ago) Permalink

that 26/2 output thing looks fantastic; unfortunately we'll be in france then, though.

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 17 February 2005 14:53 (8 years ago) Permalink

a. Kiss my arse. b. It's tempting, but I'm in poverty.

come and see Girls Aloud, Greg and Barima! there are no reasons for you not to.

Besides the fact that I like 3 out of almost 30 songs they've released, you mean.

― Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Thursday, 17 February 2005 15:53 (8 years ago) Permalink

Barima enjoyed Club Seal more because i wasn't there

looks like half of London ILX is decamping to the continent next weekend

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 15:54 (8 years ago) Permalink

Dave, shall we have a house party with 'Rave Nation 92' ? And nothing else? Not even guests?

― alix (alix), Thursday, 17 February 2005 16:00 (8 years ago) Permalink

who else is off to the continent?

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 17 February 2005 16:04 (8 years ago) Permalink

Dave, yes we should. If only because our neighbours will not be happy. HA HA HA. Are you going to be home tonight in time for Dub Dob Deed?

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Thursday, 17 February 2005 16:11 (8 years ago) Permalink

Top 3 ILXors to team with on the dancefloor:

1. Stevem
2. The Lex
3. Cis

Proven by mentalism.

― Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Thursday, 17 February 2005 16:40 (8 years ago) Permalink

I do hope to be home in time for Dirge Dob Dude. I will be eating my tasteless pasta also! Literally 7 minutes of fun!

― alix (alix), Thursday, 17 February 2005 16:41 (8 years ago) Permalink

i am rubbish to team with, don't listen to B.

what the hell is a Dirge Dob Dude?

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 18:19 (8 years ago) Permalink

i can't dance with anyone - i guess it's ok when you're surrounded by loads of other people tho (as is always the case at The End)

Barima you forgot Tim F in that there list.

Girls Aloud were amazing, we're all utterly in love with Cheryl now! it was even worth putting up with GAY for.

― The Lex (The Lex), Sunday, 20 February 2005 21:17 (8 years ago) Permalink

but Alan did the test that proves she's as gay as the next man...

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Sunday, 20 February 2005 21:29 (8 years ago) Permalink

So is anyone else up for Tiga-2ManyDJs-Black Strobe on Saturday then?

(I may not be after Club FT and Club Seal the previous two nights, but I'm going to try my absolute best to be...)

sometimes lopsided line ups with empty second room, and sometimes just plain overcrowding - not had any problems with waiting to actually get in though

― suare, Sunday, 16 September 2012 19:40 (8 months ago) Permalink

yeah, last time i was there the second room was like a pretty busy normal club while the main room was jam packed beyond any possibility of dancing.

― tubular, mondo, gnabry (Merdeyeux), Sunday, 16 September 2012 19:54 (8 months ago) Permalink

You just need to go to the nights no one wants to go to, like me. :D

― Chewshabadoo, Sunday, 16 September 2012 23:19 (8 months ago) Permalink

So, I'm going to catch some rather deep techno this Saturday. Bleep 43 have Svreca playing at The Waiting Room in Stoke Newington.

O_O footage of the police raid on 93 Feet East

― Albert Crampus (NickB), Monday, 10 December 2012 15:38 (5 months ago) Permalink

It's all a bit keystone cops with the sped-up footage.

Seems like total overkill to me.

― Chewshabadoo, Monday, 10 December 2012 19:28 (5 months ago) Permalink

Svreca was absolutely brilliant a couple of months back, very highly recommended.

― Chewshabadoo, Monday, 10 December 2012 19:29 (5 months ago) Permalink

1 month passes...

Cheeky plug, I’m going to be playing some records with a couple of friends in that Dalston at a venue called Power Lunches on Sunday 17th. Hopefully there will be dancing.

― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 5 February 2013 13:21 (3 months ago) Permalink

upstairs or down?

― Crackle Box, Tuesday, 5 February 2013 13:38 (3 months ago) Permalink

It’ll be downstairs.

― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 5 February 2013 14:23 (3 months ago) Permalink

…and the day before I will be catching the every excellent Mick Wills in The Waiting Room, Stoke Newington. Highly recommended.

― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 11:45 (3 months ago) Permalink

er, very excellent.
