the rolling london dancing thread

Dunno 'bout his DJing (thought some of you would bug to the mix CD he did for DJ Mag with Justin Robertson, which I'm not that keen on tracklist-wise) but CB is so not awful, kid.

Are there still tickets for Richie Hawtin??

Looks like you can buy tickets for Lost here.

Old Blue Last was good. Only got down there around 10pm. They had started at 10am :|

Prins Thomas played at 12 and had to bail to catch a flight. Music was really good with nu-wave downstairs and italo upstairs. A few messy people though.

Looking forward to hearing Krack again tomorrow night.

ok fuck it i spent the night in camden, at some shit, im off to buy a lost ticket

hearthrob (live) + gaiser (live). yes.

Same night as the Issst with Braxe, but upstairs...

And did we mention Our Disco Parisian Invasion:

Justice (Ed Banger)
Mr Oizo (F Comm)
Feadz (Bpitch)
Busy P (Ed Banger)
Sebastian (Ed Banger)
Kavinsky
Our Disco residents
Special live guest

Saturday 6th May @ Canvas, £8 in advance from ticketweb, £10 on the door

THE WHOLE OF PARIS is in one yard in King's Cross on 6th May! That's got to be some afterparty. Braxe and friends looks better than that lot though.

Our Disco parts looks great. Special live guest Uffie?

wait......do you think tickets are necessary for Lost?
i had assumed i could just come in a bit early.... is that erroneous?

the key is demonstrably the worst club in london, or the worst one i have been too. jeff samuel was really good but it was like i was clubbing in watford. also, far too expensive. i dont mind expensive as long as i dont feel like cattle and the club is glamourous to back it up. canvas feels worth it, the key is pretty foul.

OK, I probably may not be out tonight, but I will visit 93 Feet East on Monday if I can (my dad's in town for Easter).

I don't think I have ever been to the Key, but that line-up makes it worth all that, I think.

What is the name of that tiny club that's actually a converted underground public toilet on Commercial Street? It's fantastic! We stumbled in there last night intrigued by the neon-lit bus-shelter entrance and the enormous bassline coming through the floor.

Walked in for free and Tomas Andersson's Copy Cat was just kicking in. For the next two hours it was amazing - people went mental to the last minute of Silent Shout and I finally got to hear Dextro's Do You Need Help out. And at least five absolute stormers I will be desperate to identify for the next few weeks. Sometimes, the bright lights and cute girls turn up when you least expect them :)

I don't ever want this thread to end. I want it go on, as an ever-present reminder of the good times.

public life

we used to do a night there! the old owner had a crazy plan to create and overground Underground, with stations with bikes in and cycle routes following the underground routes painted the same colours. it was dead easy to put nights on, and gareth djed once!

public life is good. chances are you probably went to a kubicle party with Tony D or Hector DJ'ing. good stuff. is probably the best afterhours going.

Dude. Lost was ACE.

Lost was good. Not quite the usual lost sound, but that's a good thing in my book. Really good sets by all. Didn't get to hear Troy, but Gaiser was really strong, Magda playing her usual quality industrious building sound, Hearthrob had two huge tunes (Baby Kate, and that one at the end), Richie was strong, but we bailed at 7am, with him only one hour in. Off to T-Bar now to catch the last of it.

shit.....

well i was way too fucked... this wasnt a good dance music weekend really

oh, we just got back from t-bar. its kind of good there

this weekend was rubbish, i missed everything

planned badly
position badly
executed badly
morientes

Didnt make it to T-Bar. Well we did, but there was a decent que, so went down to Sosho to catch Darshan Jesarni and the Laser Magnetic disco, which was kind of cool.

How many m_nus people played at T-Bar? How did Lazarus go playing after some of them?

do you know, i messed up this weekend so bad? no amount of playing swat squad 12s or reminiscing about red planet stardancer can make up for how straight and sober this weekend turned out to be.

morientes

luckily, there is koze/superpitcher, and then braxe, to redeem self, and lower self into gutter, where i belong

is it wrong, to have a perverse feeling for a dr fernando rehabilitation?

perhaps indianapolis doesn't seem such a bad idea after all

i am experiencing some technical difficulties.

Errr... not dancing necessarily, but still clubbing, and I know that some of you are (becoming) regulars... Sonic Cathedrals this Thursday, 20th April. At the Legion, Old Street, same shoetime, same shoechannel.

Come on, you know you want to.

hey kate i saw the listing for this in time out but didnt make the connection!

as for G, i wouldnt stress over it! its a bit of a relief for one weekend at least to have not been too hectic. theres lots to come for a start. im think about braxem, thanks for the reminder, i couldnt remember what was on may 6th....

Aaah, what a time to wake up and realise the sun is shining and there's a week of no work ahead :)

T-Bar looked good yeah, we stayed for a drink but I have no idea who was playing or what any of the music was. Everyone looked like they were nicely off their face, especially for a Monday night.

Was T-Bar after I left? Having Lex's girlfriends beg me to do the splits again was way demanding. I can talk a little better today, so at least there's that.

fabric was kind of normal, i didnt actualy tyhink supetpoitdher was rhat graet, though i htink he played that shane berry tune on trapez, fillertet, someone played something cakled ani jaschneider, at lest, tyhats what my hone sdays

i dont reallyt know what happaned between 7am ansd 2pm, buit i havbe a feelikng some mentkaism was uinvolfed

i think we have some new afdfitsion to the london cru though

Yeah, he wasn't as good as he was the couple of times I saw him last year. Still fun though. And that last half hour of Slam in room 2 was mental.

that song i tried to put in your phone was anja schneider's 'rancho relaxo', gareth! how was turnmills?

agree with ricky t, superpitcher not as great as he has been in the past but still good. that was a really relaxing rave!

turnmills was pretty good. we (a motley crue of waifs and strays) got there about 730, and went into the top bar bit, and got a pint. i think we had forgotten that there was a main room, so we tried to find it, and then we did. downstairs was split in two, there was horrible hardhouse in one room, and plip-plop in the other. we met some other people in there, i think some girl txted you with my phone lex?

they chucked everyone out just before noon, and we went up to a pub on farringdon road, the eagle, i think, and had a couple of pints in there. i think there were 7 of us left at this point. about 130pm two people left in search of some rave in docklands, i'd had enough by then and called it quits and got the bus home. went to bed about 3, literally holding my head in my hands. woke up at midnight, and ate a pear yoghurt:)

today i feel fine!

one of the people that got subsumed into our waif collective, is, i think, a friend of our own stirmonster, and our not own johnny.

i liked that rancho relaxo tune lex

the tune you asked about, with the big bursts of fuzzy static, was shane berry's fillertet (trapez). i think i said that above, but my typing appears to have been a little, uh, off

oh, and, justus was at herbal apparently

hence getting ridiculous

BRAXE BRAXE BRAXE is next people, amirite?

There's more hecticness next weekend with two nights at The Key -

Saturday: Acid Tiger Motel w/ Digitalism, Marc Romboy, Tommie Sunshine, Tomas Barfod, Munk & more
Sunday: Bugged Out vs Phonica w/ Gabriel Ananda, Andy Weatherall, Ewen Pearson, Clor, Simon Rigg, Heidi, Hector & more

Stumbled into Public Life friday night to find Gedde's and some others playing some ace stuff, picked up a bunch of flyers for Dub Kult and some other good stuff going on there in the next few weeks. If only I could find 'em the next morning...

sunday looks good, but i said i'd go home this weekend. no, really, i did

braxe is definitely next, and i am going to get my ticket, this evening

i actually feel ridiculuously perky right now,

there is some good stuff this weekend.

SAT NGT - Luciano, Rub N Tug @ Fabric
SUN DAY - Luciano @ T Bar
SUN NGT - Jamal Moss, Convexion @ Channel 2

I'm busy Saturday night but Sunday daytime might be fun. Hmmm.

ILM's fav Norwegian Pop star [Annie] confirmed for TDK Cross Central festival

shit is braxe at the key?

maybe ill go to oizo etc at canvas instead... you cant get from one to the other can you?

pokerflat night at fabric on the 13th, bug, landsky, chardronnet

suburban knight(!) at fabric on the 27th (not here for this though)

i *might* be in town, after all, this weekend, though, really, i should behave myself a bit more

I may have to cancel Braxe for buddy reasons.

found commercial street related flyers:

avus, perc, marc ashken & blm @ public life, friday 5th may, £4.
audio werner, dan berkson, ayoze chico, stathis lazarides @ 54 / zawani's, saturday 27th may, £8.

IMPORTANT THING - does anyone know whether Justice/Mr Oizo etc at Canvas on the 6th is part of the same thing as Braxe/Kris Menace at The Key?

If not, we need to work out which we're going to. (Braxe all the way for me)

i strike a blow for Justice, by going to Braxe.

i've got my ticket for justice already...

I am playing at that night my brother does on the 12th, gah I know this clashes with Don't Forget The Sugar so don't want to start INTERNET BEEF!

Last night I had to turn down supporting Digitalism and Whomadewho for this, noooooo! I mean yes!

ha ha, the club is actually called The Ol' Sugar Me Do

that is most unfortunate timing :( any idea what sort of time you'll be playing tho? there's always...that Saturday night?

I think I'm playing 10-12 or something, it's not a late late club. Yeah shame about timing : ( I would be playing a not dour set too (for a change).

No dourplop, no credibility

oh no! i would've been up for ronan's brother's club anyway, otherwise. maybe...we can get together after 1 for a joint AFTER-PARTY.

yes does someone have decks and a large open space. this must happen.

I played an afterparty last night over here, it was fucking insane, it brought many happy memories back of being on drugs, though I wasn't. in the middle people did a gigantic human pyramid!
