oh shit lex, really sorry...i never check my gmail and didnt see this thrwead before i went! what a shame, dirty canvas was prretty giood although a bit strange and sort of took a looong time to warm up...straigth outta bethnal was on fire! that is definitely worth going to next time, JME and skepta were big, think some of selw dem were there but dont know anything about them. JME was doing this tune which was this really philistine sort of funk, slow, heavy bare beats which were really clunky but awesome! dunno what it was. the renegade boys turned up from whitechapel but they didnt really set the room on fire any more than they had done at dirty canvas. chantelle and hattie collions were doing a decent set, plasticman was really good as well. left when newham generals came on.

it's ok, i didn't go in the end - was a bit down in the dumps on friday, so went to a friend's flat and drank rum until we passed out. i'll make the next one though. i saw fiddy and collins on hackney road lugging their rekkids down to 333!

did i mention ALTERN8 at bugged out yesterday? that cheered me up.

hello london dancing people! any info on things to do techno-wise midweek 28th Feb (Tues) to 2nd March (Thurs) and Monday 6th or March 6th (Monday)? I will be passing through London on these dates and would like to sample your nightlife, etc. I hear there is a Stink party which is supposed to be fun on Mondays first of the month: is it happening on the 6th? I can't find any info online. help

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Monday, 20 February 2006 14:10 (twenty years ago)

yes, stink is at the t-bar in shoreditch on the 6th...

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 20 February 2006 14:22 (twenty years ago)

great, this is excellent timing! It looks like Michael Mayer is spinning on the 6th with Damian Lazarus & Margaret Dygas.

If any ILMers are making it out to this one I'd love to meet y'all. I'm in from Japan for few days/not a freakish internet weirdo/interested in the faces behind the names.

Also this is a free party. How do London clubs work? Do you have to get there early/be on guestlist to get in or avoid a queue?

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Monday, 20 February 2006 14:39 (twenty years ago)

who is Margaret Dygas? i feel ignorant.

i've not been to stink, but my guess is that getting there early is advisable - anyone?

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 20 February 2006 14:46 (twenty years ago)

Margaret Dygas? no idea. I just felt guilty only copy and pasting the other two.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Monday, 20 February 2006 14:52 (twenty years ago)

margaret dygas is a resident at back to yours and plays at fabric and has played in berlin and stuff. she was really good fun when i saw her, and also v cute. the tunes she played were in that category "dunno what this is but its wicked" - this category is massive for me cos i dont know anything except for brutalga square and a.n.other

― ambrose (ambrose), Monday, 20 February 2006 15:34 (twenty years ago)

Toby - were you aware the Old Queen's Head round the corner from your house has just been done up by the Evil Fabric Overlord?* Roots Manuva apparently played there on Friday and various other people are promised... might be worth keeping an eye on.

*I for one welcome...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 20 February 2006 22:43 (twenty years ago)

Ooh, I am DJing at Lovelife on the 28th by the way. Come along and drink, London.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 20 February 2006 22:45 (twenty years ago)

yes matt, i am aware of that - roots manuva was only djing though, i think. i'm hoping they get really into this and end up having villalobos etc djing...

― toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 05:12 (twenty years ago)

...and I am DJing at Lovelife this Monday

it will be a HIP HOP AND R&B SPECIAL

do come!

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 23 February 2006 16:24 (twenty years ago)

so, is anyone going to stink on monday? and does anyone know anything about a fabric afterparty on sunday? i saw a hint somewhere that it might be at the t-bar...

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 2 March 2006 08:33 (twenty years ago)

i'm not sure about stink on monday, but i'm almost certainly going to the bpitch night. dunno about afterparty though - i have to go to what looks like a semi-civilised birthday party on sunday...

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 2 March 2006 13:59 (twenty years ago)

from another messageboard:

we're going to have fabric go on until 9am on saturday night / sunday morning so make sure you bring dancing shoes, then....

we're having another big fuck off afterparty just like the we had back in November just for the sake of it as it would be bloody rude not to wouldn't it.

so then, on sunday from midday we're taking over the T-bar until midnight Very Happy

musical entertainment will be provided by any of the DJs that are still standing from Saturday!

which does sound good. but i suspect that dancing won't be what i feel like on sunday afternoon.

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 3 March 2006 08:33 (twenty years ago)

Not sure if I can make Fabric as I'll be at a birthday party beforehand. It's in Farringdon and chucks out at 2 so Fabric might be an option, but it'll be rammed by then, won't it?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 3 March 2006 09:52 (twenty years ago)

toby, what time do you intend to get to fabric? do you have my number? i don't know when i'll get there yet...

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 3 March 2006 14:46 (twenty years ago)

Hey -

Margaret Dygas is great. Plays some awesome minimal stuff. There is an excellent mix of hers on minimallondon, in the mixtapes section.

I'll be at Fabric on Saturday night, after party for a bit maybe, and T-Bar on Monday definately.

T-Bar has been getting really busy. Last Stink for DJ Koze was a little bit like DC-10, still cheering and up for it at 2am on a school night. Which is fun.

Then there is James Holden at T-Bar on Thursday. Big week. Fun.

― rchinn (rchinn), Friday, 3 March 2006 21:02 (twenty years ago)

anyone know anything thats going on the 14th-16th? i have two friends from the states coming through and as far as im concerned they need to experience very large amounts of dirty techno.

― emma cleveland (emma cleveland), Saturday, 4 March 2006 13:01 (twenty years ago)

oh p.s.

does that italodisco night still go on? i remember that being midweek.

― emma cleveland (emma cleveland), Saturday, 4 March 2006 13:31 (twenty years ago)

hello all, i am in london for one night and i am definitely heading down to stink if anyone would like to hook up. with luck there will be a small gang of us. Im glad to hear that dygas is the business because lazarus sure wasnt when i heard him in Tokyo but i am willling to forgive anything to see mayer. /fanboy. How late will this thing go? I assumed it was all night but will it stop at 2 or so?

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Saturday, 4 March 2006 19:05 (twenty years ago)

i think i've heard that it goes until 3. sorry for crying off fabric this evening - after november's villalobos/hawtin i can't face the fullness, and there was no way i was going to make that and stink anyway.

i'm going to stink, and so's tom (ledge). anyone else? lex, ricky?

― toby (tsg20), Sunday, 5 March 2006 00:02 (twenty years ago)

for those of you who've been to stink before: what time is it sensible/necessary to arrive?

― toby (tsg20), Sunday, 5 March 2006 13:55 (twenty years ago)

i couldn't persuade a single person to come to fabric with me, so i stayed in and got cooked for by my flatmate.

i don't know about stink - will see how i feel tomorrow. last time i went we were at 93 feet east until 11, then we wandered on down to the t bar, and it was a good time to arrive - if i go tomorrow i shall be doing the same. all people up for stink, 93ft east beforehand!

― The Lex (The Lex), Sunday, 5 March 2006 14:56 (twenty years ago)

i wished i had gone out last night.

i am very keen to go out next weekend, i'm thinking about steve barnes at the key, but really, i'll go anywhere, i need a big blow out

i'll see about monday

― terry lennox. (gareth), Sunday, 5 March 2006 15:08 (twenty years ago)

I walked past Fabric at about 3am and briefly considered going in until I saw the queue. Quite glad I didn't considering no one was in there.

I am up for the Key this weekend.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 5 March 2006 17:02 (twenty years ago)

I went to Fabric. It was good. Matt John was very impressive. Kiki was nice. Ellen Allien a little dissapointing. Ricardo Villalobos and Zip excellent.

Fabric wasnt as rammed as it has been. All in all fairly manageable. They also extended the hours and it was open till 9.30am. When I left at 8, Ricardo and Zip were playing back to back, dancefloor had space to move and upstairs was half full.

Afterparty at T-Bar was excellent too. Ricardo played back to back with Kiki / Matt John / Zip and Craig Richards. Lots of random messiness but quite funny.

Stink tomorrow will likely go till 2. Last Stink went till 3-3.30, but I think theyve been wrapping up a bit earlier. Anyway should be fun. Margaret Dygas mix is available at: http://www.minimallondon.com/margaret_dygas/mixtapes/margaret_dygasMIXTAPE_underl_nemix.zip

― rchinn (rchinn), Sunday, 5 March 2006 23:34 (twenty years ago)

oh, the key, lets get drugs, lets make it the best

― terry lennox. (gareth), Monday, 6 March 2006 02:15 (twenty years ago)

OMG TRAPEZ/TRAUM STYLE

― terry lennox. (gareth), Monday, 6 March 2006 02:17 (twenty years ago)

i'll be in the t-bar from 10...

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 6 March 2006 18:12 (twenty years ago)

i don't think i'll make it tonight :(

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:00 (twenty years ago)

cant make tonite (not sure how many mondays im going to be able to make)

definitely keen on the key at the weekend though

― terry lennox. (gareth), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:05 (twenty years ago)

i can make no plans for the weekend (inc those you referred to in your text last night, gareth) - i think my friday might be quite big. also i don't know how to get guestlist for the key and i can't afford to pay for clubs.

contemplating holden at the t bar on thu.

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:09 (twenty years ago)

what is holden?

― terry lennox. (gareth), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:21 (twenty years ago)

james holden! dude who remixed 'the sky was pink' and made it amazing.

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:22 (twenty years ago)

Ill be at the t-bar from 10 or so. if you see a guy in a black t-shirt with a red star, say hi!

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:31 (twenty years ago)

I'm staying in tonight, and am busy elsewhere on Saturday, but will be rocking Bangface on Friday as per.

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:55 (twenty years ago)

So I went. It was good. Lot of really excellent trance. Like The Knife - Silent Shout being really well received. Yes, kinda minimal, but really trance.

― rchinn (rchinn), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 03:56 (twenty years ago)

yeah, the knife was definitely a highlight. i now know why i don't usually drink when i go out dancing, though :-(

― toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 09:31 (twenty years ago)

Yup, that was fun, I'd go again. Although it did make me yearn for the good ol' IDM club nights of yesteryear...

― ledge (ledge), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 10:10 (twenty years ago)

er anyone up for triple r/alex under/trapez on 31st march, or jeff samuel 13th april?

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 22:12 (twenty years ago)

Bangface is going to be better than the Key, isn't it?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 22:29 (twenty years ago)

yes it will be, more fun but, another contender has arrived! steve bicknell and alexander robotnick at plastic people.

― terry lennox. (gareth), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 22:50 (twenty years ago)

yesss. i will be at the alexander robotnik show, even though i dont know what day it is. i saw him in detroit this summer and it was so much fun.

― emma cleveland (emma cleveland), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 16:07 (twenty years ago)

oh! its this saturday, 10pm-330am

― terry lennox. (gareth), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 16:50 (twenty years ago)

i am totally 50-50, as to whether i prefer this or bangface

― terry lennox. (gareth), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 16:51 (twenty years ago)

they're on different days, aren't they?

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 16:56 (twenty years ago)

i am a fragile flower

― terry lennox. (gareth), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:10 (twenty years ago)

I might go to the Alex Under / Triple R / Sud Electronic thing. Some of their other parties have been good.

So much on though through late march, and then middle of April...

Have you heard about the M-nus easter party?

― rchinn (rchinn), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:35 (twenty years ago)

i move to london tomorrow from scunthorpe. you must understand, this is all very exciting for me. haha
im an american, who has lived in the country her whole life.
