Don't think I could make Boxing Day cos I normally see my Mum on the 27th, but should be up for a bit of a rave up around the dates Geeta mentioned.

best nights i've had in london this year were both at cable (ostgun ton night with marcel dettmann + ame
I was at this, that was a good night. ame was a strange fit with it being dettmann and fengler but that track they played which sounded like a piano being thrown down a flight of stairs while someone shouted YEYAH was really great. pity about 2nd room in cable...steffi/efdemin was a definite draw but 2nd room isn't a good space so spent most of time in room1
― post, Tuesday, 25 October 2011 11:37 (twelve years ago) link
yeah the 2nd room is kind of awkward although i quite like that it just runs through into some messy afterparty in there on sunday morning. i think we left at 11am that night
― tpp, Tuesday, 25 October 2011 12:23 (twelve years ago) link
ha i didn't know that think we left around 830
― post, Tuesday, 25 October 2011 12:43 (twelve years ago) link
actually i think it was the RA night where it ran on (but it was some completely different party with a weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird crowd)
sounded like a piano being thrown down a flight of stairs while someone shouted YEYAH

this one?
― tpp, Tuesday, 25 October 2011 13:31 (twelve years ago) link
ha no it was very different to that. there was v pronounced panning, then the falling down piano stopped and there was a pause and someone shouted YEAYAH
― post, Tuesday, 25 October 2011 15:01 (twelve years ago) link
not sure about the YEAH but there are a couple of wolfgang voigt tracks that sound a bit like that
― Crackle Box, Tuesday, 25 October 2011 17:22 (twelve years ago) link
it didnt really sound like voigt - it was kind of silly and boisterous. the other problem is, i can hardly remember the track now
― post, Tuesday, 25 October 2011 17:27 (twelve years ago) link
who's coming to lowlife? totes looking fwd to it, feels like it's been AGES since i had a proper rave
typically i have to be semi-sensible as i have to review a gig on sunday night but i'm sure i can manage to be home by...midday, right?
― lex pretend, Saturday, 29 October 2011 11:08 (twelve years ago) link
i have just been talked into going to this krankbrother halloween loft party on friday w/ matt tolfey but it's 'secret east london venue' arggggh
OMG I AM SO PISSED OF ABOUT THIS NIGHT
all the worst things about london 'clubbing' in one
- 'secret venue' miles out of town- massive queue for event which you already have £18 ticket for- violent queue for cloakroom which turns out to be full- half hour wait to use portaloo- two times over capacity- 20 y/o kids in shutter shades whose dancing involves leaning into everyone next to them
the venue was actually incredible and matt tolfrey was great but it's like...impossible to have fun at these things. left in a huff.
― tpp, Saturday, 29 October 2011 12:19 (twelve years ago) link
jesus, tpp, that sounds grim. how the hell do people get away with putting on nights like that?
super excited about low life! i have perhaps unwisely agreed to go for brunch with my parents the next morning, but you don't actually have to sleep before going to brunch, right?
― octavio paz de la huerta (c sharp major), Saturday, 29 October 2011 12:36 (twelve years ago) link
this is why i go to clubs once a year if even that often
― When a German communicates, you listen (LocalGarda), Saturday, 29 October 2011 12:37 (twelve years ago) link
last weekend i went over to trouw in amsterdam which was such an incredible experience and really put london clubbing in perspective. god i might just save my money and do that once every few months instead
― tpp, Saturday, 29 October 2011 12:50 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i am pretty jaded with the things that surround dance music (tho quite into the tunes) tbh so my views not representative, but i feel like an annual trip to berlin does the job for me.
― When a German communicates, you listen (LocalGarda), Saturday, 29 October 2011 12:51 (twelve years ago) link
Well, when Germans communicate, you listen.

TPP your experience reminds me of the last party I went to at the Union Street Car Park. Amazing space and music, terrible bar, toilets, temperature.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 29 October 2011 13:48 (twelve years ago) link
one toilet is a massive no no for me....

- 'secret venue' miles out of town
how far out? I've always been suspicious of these "secret venue" things.
going to Plastic People tonight, first time since they remodeled it. have heard mixed things so will be interesting to see if it's any good.
― toby, Saturday, 29 October 2011 14:18 (twelve years ago) link
let me know what it's like temperature-wise - i've been once post-refurbishing, not long after it reopened, and it was like a fucking sauna in there because no one thought to put the air con back in o_0
sounds like a horrible but all too common experience tpp - like ronan i think that's a reason i go raving less, cuz i can't be fucked with that shit any more. this is why i don't go to camp (the venue) despite their reliably amazing line-ups, it's just grim in there.
― lex pretend, Saturday, 29 October 2011 14:29 (twelve years ago) link
Secret venue for me tonight is Proud2. Not looking forward to it.
― mmmm, Saturday, 29 October 2011 14:31 (twelve years ago) link
i guess i can be relieved that i didn't get a ticket for low life, since i slept for about an hour on friday night and then was busy from 9am until midnight last night. I'D HAVE DIED.
i have friends visiting on the 5th, anything notable going on?
― sunn :o))) (Merdeyeux), Sunday, 30 October 2011 16:14 (twelve years ago) link
Lowlife was super fun, most fun I've had out dancing in a very very long time. I barely went into room two at all because everyone in the main room was absolutely killing it. Also watching a load of zombies and vampires dancing on the stage gave a nicely surreal touch.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 30 October 2011 18:50 (twelve years ago) link
theo parrish is at plastic ppl on the 5th i think
― jabba hands, Sunday, 30 October 2011 19:17 (twelve years ago) link
Mulletover was dreadful, as predicted. I'm giving clubbing in London a miss for a bit after last night.
― mmmm, Sunday, 30 October 2011 19:52 (twelve years ago) link
What's the deal with Theo and Plastic People. I am to understand he has some sort of quasi-residency there?
― Hills Like White Broncos (EDB), Sunday, 30 October 2011 22:26 (twelve years ago) link
not even quasi, he plays all night once a month
― the men who glare at stoats (sic), Sunday, 30 October 2011 23:41 (twelve years ago) link
That's kind of a quasi-residency, no? Anyways, good to know. Could always use more Theo P in my life.

from Dimitri from paris thread:wish I could go to this tonight http://www.brixtonclubhouse.com/club/
I didn't even know they had revamped Dex, looks like it has potential for a s.london dancing venue especially if the funktion 1 soundsystem is still there

Anyone going to the Ostgut night at Corsica. Line up doesn't look especially missable.

I went to Plastic People to see Theo Parrish when I had a couple of friends visiting - damn Theo is amazing, and damn that place is quiet + crowded.
― sunn :o))) (Merdeyeux), Saturday, 12 November 2011 22:02 (twelve years ago) link
will def try and make that ostgut night.
anyone going out this weekend?

Tief with Todd Terje, Morgan Geist + more, 28 April? I'll be out of town for it ffs, I suspect that Dundee's club scene on that night will not be quite as appealing.
