Weekend Recommendations - 18th - 20th Sept

Hey Folks,

Well, with an expectant hectic last weekend falling a little flat, what is in store in gAylist/land London this coming one. Well, possibly, we are drawing breath for the up-coming plethora of birthday celebrations (see our "hot dates" post), but there are still events to entice you out to a club/bar near you. Our "slimline" choice goes like this.

First up, on Friday night (18th Sept), the Profile team are pulling out all the stops, as not only are they offering special offers on cocktails & other drinks, they have lined up some of the scene's biggest D.J. names to entertain you from early evening to early morning. In the diner style & sumptuous surroundings of Profille's ground floor bar, Brent Nicholls will be spinning some equally seductive sounds, from 8 p.m. through till 11 p.m., to truly warm up your night for the action down below. Then, it's in the club, Lo-Profile, where the partying will continue, the action really hotting up, with favourites Mikey D & the Steve Pitron on the decks, spinning out some superb sounds to a descerning & quality good looking & sexy crowd. All three D.J's are great exponents in their game, having rubbed shoulders in clubs like Crash & Beyond and continue to thrill across London's dancefloors, so a real treat in store. Doors open at Lo-Profile from 10 p.m. and the club runs through until 4 a.m. with entrance at £8, but don't forget you can get free entry if you are in Profile bar before 10 p.m. The Profile duo are therefore deifnately worth a Friday frolic.

Our other pick of the weekend goes to new kid on the block, "Sunday Service", this Sunday 20th Sept (suprise, surprise!) a metrosexual gathering over in on the western edge of "Hoxton" land in Clerkenwell, evoking age old Sunday activity in this once very popular clubbing destination spot in London. Clerkenwell House is the venue, a warm & relaxing place with plenty of hang out spots, chill out areas and spaces to kick back to the superb tech house inspired funky beats that "Sunday Service" will become renowned for. And who better to get this underground clubbing experience off to a great start, but D.J. Hi-Fi Sean Dickson, of Beyond, Juicy, Hard On! & Barcode fame, who will definately make sure you will get lost in the groove, Sean being joined by D.J.'s Van Mook & Baa Baa . In true Sunday style, things get going at 5 p.m., with the club running through till midnight, with entry at just £7 and drinks deals all night, with the added bonus of a free Hi-Fi Sean CD to the first 100 through the door.. The venue is on Hatton Wall (just off the top end of Clerkenwell Road), so for full location details check out http://clerkenwellhouse.com and in the inimitable words of the event promoter, Neil Davenport, "Come to Church for your alternative Sunday Ssrvice!".

Other bits of activity include Onyx at Area this Friday, Juicy over at Fire this Saturday and Barcode's Soho & Vauxhall laying on a whole host of D.J's right across the weekend. Check the popular press for full details. Also, don't forget to visit http://seenqueen.com for a full lisitng of events in gAylist/land London as well as much much more!!

So that's our pick of the bunch for this time round. As for our weekend, well we will probably make an appearance at Industri tomorrow (Thurs) and may well be off to "Church Service" on Sunday. So, if you see us out, come say hi, but whatever you do have a good one!.
