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?

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?

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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!

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

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

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

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

OMG TRAPEZ/TRAUM STYLE

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

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

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

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

what is holden?

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

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

oh! its this saturday, 10pm-330am

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

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

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

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

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

i am a fragile flower

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

― emma cleveland (emma cleveland), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:40 (eighteen years ago) link

oh i didnt even see the ceephax and uziq gig. damnnn.
im going to be poor very quickly...

― emma cleveland (emma cleveland), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:44 (eighteen years ago) link

m-nus easter party??? pls tell me more!

― ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 23:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Stink was an eyeopener for me (I'd never been to a club in England before). I thought the music was a tad inconsistent (Neil Diamond?) but oh my god Mayer played the Chain so all was well with the world. And some of the newer Kompakt stuff sounds tasty.

Richard, you didn't realise I was Tami's boyfriend when you said hello!

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Thursday, 9 March 2006 08:30 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm pulling out of all this weekend's festivities - Monday is a very important day and I know how I feel physically and emotionally after rolling London dancing and it's not a state I want to be in next week.

NEXT weekend, on the other hand, is a goer. Am I right in thinking there's a birthday coming up?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 9 March 2006 10:01 (eighteen years ago) link

For a golf raver, yes. Though not next weekend.

Everyone should go to Bangface, though it's possibly too late for anyone else to do so.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 9 March 2006 10:28 (eighteen years ago) link

oops, looks like bangface is a no go then:/

working next weekend:/

perhaps i will go home for the weekend:/

― terry lennox. (gareth), Thursday, 9 March 2006 10:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah Dog - had no idea you were Tami's boyfriend. I got home and thought, "Shit, I forgot to try and find Tami's boyfriend". So way to go on the random connection.

Minus easter party is Hawtin, Pierce, Magda, Heartthrob and Gaiser. On the 16th down at one of those crappy clubs in the tunnel at London Bridge. Awful venue for such good tunage.

Absolutely no chance of going to Bangface. On first glance it looks like horrendous stuff.

― rchinn (rchinn), Thursday, 9 March 2006 11:31 (eighteen years ago) link

16th april?

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 9 March 2006 12:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes.

― rchinn (rchinn), Thursday, 9 March 2006 15:26 (eighteen years ago) link

i like arches under london bridge! i saw...rob hood there last year

i am going to go to this.

― terry lennox. (gareth), Thursday, 9 March 2006 15:29 (eighteen years ago) link

i want to hear Tranquilizer, or is it Sleepchamber. im mixing up with Paul Hazel now. Anyway, none of that matters really

in other news, Man Like Woebot is rinsing out the krautrock dubplates at roughneck kosmischey night at old blue last, on sunday night.

― Da Dizzler Terry L (gareth), Thursday, 9 March 2006 15:33 (eighteen years ago) link

i thought that hawtin easter party was at plastic people, sponsored by lost?

― emma cleveland (emma cleveland), Monday, 13 March 2006 20:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Bugged Out this Saturday anyone? I'm not sure whether or not Miss Kittin is actually any cop as a DJ but I am fully fit and ready to play.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 13 March 2006 20:51 (eighteen years ago) link

after last weekends debacle, of actually managing nothing, i am primed like dean ashton

― red flag over st pancras (gareth), Monday, 13 March 2006 20:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Hawtin in arches sounds top. But Superpitcher/Mayer the weekend after sounds even better. I can't really do both - my knees will die.

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 13 March 2006 21:04 (eighteen years ago) link

is that at fabric? bah!

cant find out nything about this m_nus night. can anyone provide sources for anything like this? the m_nus site is awful

― ambrose (ambrose), Monday, 13 March 2006 21:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Minus Minimize to Maximize tour details here on Resident Advisor.

This weekend I am doing M.A.N.D.Y., Craig Richards, DK7, Damian Lazarus at Fabric on Saturday.

― rchinn (rchinn), Monday, 13 March 2006 23:16 (eighteen years ago) link
