So, I was pressured into going to Bloc (on the Friday only). Line up looks good, and hell if I managed to get home from the shit-pit that is Proud2 I should be able to get back from wherethehellthisplaceis.

Not going to free rotation now, almost feel tempted by bloc but when it comes to it...no

Rhythm Factory must have a new booker, they have some great line ups now. Haven't been there for 18m or so although it's metres from my door..
― mmmm, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 21:06 (eleven years ago) link
I walk past it every day and at some point in last couple months noticrd lineups were suddenly good

also doing happy hour and Thai food again I see. The next Alfalfa night is a possibility.

OK folks, what is up on Friday? i feel like dancing
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:24 (eleven years ago) link
ya i just came in to ask the same question! annual assessment panel on friday, PROPER MASH UP required for us all afterwards.
― Merdeyeux, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:49 (eleven years ago) link
rhythm factory is real close to me too! will keep a eye on the line-ups. could be a return to the golden (actually terrible) days when they were doing t bar at that place by aldgate.
― hardhouse banter (tpp), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 18:49 (eleven years ago) link
i might go to that juan atkins things next friday
― hardhouse banter (tpp), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 18:50 (eleven years ago) link
Goddamn it I'd love to go dancing Friday but as ever I'm too poor. Do let us know next time though. Am I too old to be going out all night to clubs at 31 (1/2)? I have no idea of the average age of London clubbers as most people may age from the area I live wouldn't be seen dead at a rave...

Bought tickets to Nick Hoppner at Corsica on a whim. (I hate to be going back to Toronto in September, where a year = like 3 weeks here, dance music event wise).

Bill Patrick is playing in town on Friday... at the Russian bar... Would go to that if I were around. There isn't a whole host more on (but Sat is a different question). Also dog latin - 31 is not too old to go clubbing!
― mmmm, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 21:18 (eleven years ago) link
Just booked Ibiza trip again.. (I know it's not London Dancing but I'm excited..)
― mmmm, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 21:19 (eleven years ago) link
is there even an ibiza thread on ilm? i went a few weeks ago would be fun to talk abt it somewhere
― hardhouse banter (tpp), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 21:26 (eleven years ago) link
yes, there is, no posts for 8 years though! Would like to know your thoughts. I love the place but I know how people hate it...
― mmmm, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 21:32 (eleven years ago) link
Never been ibiza...or croatia for that matter
Like the look of sunwaves, romania. labyrinth japan looks kinda nice too

Oh, "Secret East London location" :(
― Matt DC, Saturday, 7 July 2012 11:11 (eleven years ago) link
niiice. i'm trying to take advantage of a relatively free summer as much as possible, so bookended by beauty and the beat next week (has anyone ever been?) and some kind of disco weekender at the nest with aeroplane and todd terje at the end of august, but that leaves me a lot of gaps to fill.
what's the 'secret east london location' thing all about? 9 times out of 10 it's a normal club which they presumably have booked from the beginning, so...?
― Merdeyeux, Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:30 (eleven years ago) link
I've never had a less than great night at BATB and the new years party was easily the best night out dancing I've ever had.
Best bit of the night- coming up from the downstairs chill out room to find my sister leading a conga line full of people wearing these comedy glasses we'd bought back from Xmas with the parents. Soundtracked to some ridiculous tribal crusty disco acid funk amazingness through *that* soundsystem. One of the few nights I can look back on where there's no dark /weird /ugly shit everyone just had a blast start to finish.

Also lol at when the venue owner came over to Cedric to tell him he's got one more song, Cedric kinda looks at the packet out dance floor, turns the volume up and gestures 'I can't hear you' to which owner dude laughed and the party carries on for another hour or so with the lights on.
― Crackle Box, Saturday, 7 July 2012 15:38 (eleven years ago) link
Quite tempted by Diskjokke and In Flagranti in Dalston tonight actually.
Everywhere in London seems to be competing to set themselves up as a shelter for displaced ravers.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 7 July 2012 15:44 (eleven years ago) link
i was at BATB on new year's as well. i think i had a great time but the only music i can remember is the smiths.
― jabba hands, Sunday, 8 July 2012 20:59 (eleven years ago) link
I need to fucking get out more.
― EDB, Sunday, 8 July 2012 21:04 (eleven years ago) link
We went to Fabric in the end, dull and clumpy for the first hour or so and got progressively better. Weird highlight was Petre Inspirescu dropping a significant section of Debussy's La Mer over some skeletal house.
― Matt DC, Monday, 9 July 2012 10:06 (eleven years ago) link
usual fabric thing of not putting first guest on till after 4
was kinda underwhelmed by cobblestone jazz:/
― coal, Monday, 9 July 2012 10:14 (eleven years ago) link
I've heard guests play earlier before, but that may have been years ago.
― Matt DC, Monday, 9 July 2012 10:30 (eleven years ago) link
guests do play earlier it depends who tho, if its ricardo, zip or RPR it will always be later
― coal, Monday, 9 July 2012 10:34 (eleven years ago) link
Tempted by Alfalfa @ Rhythm Factory this Sat. Romania's Herodot & Xandru, should be promising.

Any thoughts on this? It's during my last week(s) so I don't mind spending extra for some kind of blowout.

Been playing it safe recently, just Corsica Studios. Last Sat with Jay Shepheard and the Sat before with Michael Mayer. Mayer wasn't so good but Shepheard was really great.
― mmmm, Saturday, 28 July 2012 19:43 (eleven years ago) link
what was lacking w/ mayer? i managed to persuade a bunch of visiting friends to go to beauty and the beat instead of that and they collectively had one of the best clubbing nights of their lives, RESOOLT and such.
― Merdeyeux, Saturday, 28 July 2012 20:18 (eleven years ago) link
What type of stuff is Mayer playing out these days?

Fred p today but can't go
last time i saw mayer i was very disappointed. might have been something to do with the shit sound and overcrowding though.
