Weekend Recommendations - 10th/12th July







Hey Folks,

Well, with London’s & (and for you luck ones) Madrid’s Pride parties well & truly over (oops, did we forget Cologne – sorry Oliver!), we come a little back down to ground this weekend, drawing breath before a marathon end of July. So what’s on the cards this weekend and what are our three choices.

Well, it all kicks off in superb style tomorrow (Thurs 9th), yes tomorrow!!, as the new Friday that is Thursday brings non other than Industri. But, folks, this is no ordinary Industri as the night is given away to a fantastic tribute to “The King of Pop”, Michael Jackson, who sadly passed away two weeks ago, leaving a hole in many people’s hearts. There is no doubt Michael’s life was full of controversy, but it was also full of amazing music & Industri this week will be infused with a veritable feast of “MJ” remixes throughout Brent Nicholls’ set (what better a D.J. to give you your fill of the best re-engineered Michael classics), so think less “This Is It”, more “Thriller”. With all this additional musical magic, this is set to be an evening not to be missed, with Minty hosting as always & we suspect our guard will be down with the Sambuca flowing!! So, it all kicks off at 9 p.m. at Barcode Vauxhall & runs through till 2 a.m with entry being free!!!. Check out the link, http://bar-code.uk/industri for more details & to join the newsletter posts.

Friday sees the launch of a new night at one of our most favourite venues in London, Area in Vauxhall & a fresh look at all things clubbing. It’s a fresh new name as well, as “Onyx” launches with all guns blazing, introducing a truly dazzling D.J. line up including Phil Marriot (Gaydar Radio star who took Love Muscle by storm last Sat) & the man behind this newbie, non other than Steven Gellar, who continues to cut a stride in the club promoting game. Room two (the tech terrace) looks particularly good with Lisa German & Ariel playing out, but what is even better is that the club will command a strict “majority gay” policy (unlike some recent Area ventures!), so we suspect a much better quality crowd. What’s more, the team are rolling out a succession of drinks offers, listen to this, £2.50 on drinks & £1 on shots until 12 a.m., with continued promotions through the night & with entry free until midnight & only £6 thereafter (bargain!) together with everything you expect from lighting, production, & gorgeous dancers, this should prove to be a real hit. Doors open at 11 p.m. & the club runs through until 5 a.m. & make the most of grabbing a free membership. Watch this space for a web link.

Our last choice is also new to this post, but a club that has evolved, nay risen from the ashes!! Yes, it’s Infinity (ex Bromptons), no longer just a boozer with drag, but actually a stylish venue attracting some quality D.J. talents to its doors. This Sat (11th), see non other than the legend that is Fat Tony gracing the decks, this on the back of a stunning performance at Trade’s party last Sunday, with his amazing choice of tunes & mixes definitely sure to set the venue alight so this will be one outing to pencil in your diary space. Based over in Earls Court (where it all started!!), Infinity has definitely grown up, attracting an mix of locals & those eager to get a slice of relaxing, no attitude clubbing that has fun written all over it. Resident D.J’s include the wonderful Faye Lanson (we miss her on the scene) & Matt Bird, who entertain every Friday. So, if you fancy a change to the norm, sampling some superb sounds, make this Saturday a date. Infinity’s website (like the club itself) is still in it’s infancy, but watch out for developments at http://goinfinity.co.uk/.

So, what else is on this weekend? Well it looks like a quiet(ish) one, but as always, Lo-Profile proves a great choice, with mega stars Steve Pitron & Mikey D cutting a major stride this Fri & Alessandro & Brent Nicholls spinning the tunes on Sat. Horizon hits town again (revitalised!) with their “Summer Sizzler” party this Sat, with D’Johnny, Gonzalo Rivas (need to mention that!), Jamie Head, David Jiminez & Terry Bryan in control of the music madness. Check the popular press for details.

Just one quick mention goes to the official launch of the “new” Profile bar (above Lo-Profile) next Wednesday (15th), a date not to be missed. We will be there to sample food, cocktails, champagne (you name it!) & review it all, so watch this space for the entire lowdown.

And what for our weekend? well, it has to be Industri on Thursday, we are seriously thinking about Onyx on Friday (what did the promoter say to us in SuperMartXe!!!), maybe Bournemouth Pride Sat day & possibly Lo-Profile on Sat night, so if you see us come say hi, but whatever you are doing, have a great weekend and as we always say…….Go There! Be There!
