Hey Folks,
Well, the weekend is almost here and it couldn’t start any better than celebrating Hrh Minty’s birthday tonight at Industri. We devoted a special post to it earlier this week, which you can catch right here by clicking on the adjacent link.
Apart from that, what’s on offer to tempt you out? Well, to be honest, it looks like just a regular weekend in gAylist/land London, but two club nights have grabbed our attention & then we take a brief look at the best of the rest.
First up is “Onyx”, which returns for another fun-filled session at Area in Vauxhall, having totally re-invigorated Friday night clubbing since its launch back in July last year, so much so that it is currently top in the Seenqueen “Your Disco Needs You” 2009 poll & second overall, wow!!, so the team must be doing something right. We were privileged to be there for the afterhour’s party on 2nd Jan & had an amazing time, so if you need more convincing by the end of this, then check out our review. This latest instalment promises to be yet another fabulous party as the team of resident D.J.’s which include Ariel, Lisa German, Jamie Hammond, Tuomo Fox & Jason Prince, aim to delight with some terrific tunes. But it is the main room that is set to truly explode with magnificent music, as not only does Phil Marriot feature, who entertained us so brilliantly on 2nd, but he is joined by international superstar D.J. & producer, none other than the Italian stallion Pagano, who was a shining star at “As One”, played a huge set at Megawoof just last week & for us, is back where he belongs, in the thick of London’s best clubs. Add to this stunning D.J. list, Area’s amazing lighting, ticker tape explosions & ice cannon cool downs (not that we need it in this weather!) together with Onyx’s special stage shows, sexy go-go’s & pyrotechnic displays and this is one event you won’t want to miss. It all kicks off this Fri, 15th Jan from 10 p.m., with free entry until midnight as long as you have an ad or flyer (£2 without) and then £6 thereafter, with the club running through till 5 a.m. Advance £5 tickets are available at http://clubtickets.com/ & more info on Onyx can be found at http://firelondon.co.uk/.
Our other attention grabber is Juicy, one of the longest running Saturday club nights in gAylist/land London, standing the test of time since its birth in 2006, this week holding another “bootcamp” party on (of course) Sat 16th Jan, at Fire in Vauxhall. Now, being a relative virgin to Juicy parties, we are reliably informed that this incarnation is it’s hottest, when promoter Andrew Harris pulls out all the stops to completely transform the venue into a space that would easily fit into any army training camp, but with all the special ingredients that only Fire can bring to this club event. So, think amazing lasers, CO2 cannons, seductive dancers dressed in tight army uniform & top notch production, plus the addition of a camouflage cruising maze. Regimental D.J.’s standing to attention will be Sergeant Rob Sykes, Captain Hi-Fi Sean, Colonel Gonzalo Rivas, Corporal Steven Artis, Lieutenant David Jiminez & Major D’Johnny (no rank between them of course!), pulling all their troops into delirious dancing order across two rooms of strictly heavenly house music. So if hunky men in uniform is your kick, Juicy’s “bootcamp” is definitely the place to fulfil your desires as doors open from 11 p.m., with entrance at just £8 until 1 a.m. if you grab a flyer or ad (£10 without) or £12 on the door. Advance tickets are available at Prowler, Clone Zone, DV8 & The Box or online at http://clubtickets.com/. And if you dare to dress in uniform (go on you know you want to) the entry is a mere £8.
So, what else is on offer to tempt you, well Friday in Soho sees Lo-Profile entertain with Jamie Head & Alessandro on the decks, while over at Barcode, it’s the men only “Cave” night with Daz Saund, Hi-Fi Sean & guests. Kris De Angelis takes charge at Shadow Lounge for “Therapy” & then why not follow him to Concrete in Shoreditch as “Circus” comes back to town, hosted by Jodie Harsh & welcoming Matthew Horne (Gavin in Gavin & Stacy) to the decks, ooh a D.J. too! Down in Vauxhall & Tim Jones’s “Tonker” welcomes back Alan X to the D.J. decks, while Barcode have two rooms of fun, the sexy Steven Artis headlining, Friday being polished off (well Sat morning actually) by “A.M”. at Fire with a host of D.J.’s including The Oli, Terry Bryan, Alan K, D’Johnny & David Jiminez. Saturday sees Soho sport Nick Evans & Brent Nicholls at Lo-Profile, while Rupert St goes on D.J. on us with Oliver M on the decks, who then heads off to Barcode in Vauxhall to do it all again. Down south with him, The RVT roll out another classic “Duckie” party, welcoming back the incomparable Amy Lame, while” Bootylicious” returns to super club Colosseum. “Beyond” starts Sunday off in style & is current topping the Seenqueen poll, so is well worth a visit, then the RVT ask you to wind down & the pump up with another “S.L.A.G.S./Chill-out” session, the weekend being rounded off by another citric squeeze at “Orange” take you into the new week, with The Sharp Boys, Gonzalo Rivas & David Jiminez among the acidic performers as well as another fab appearance by Fat Tony & Tonnic. For all these parties, check the popular press.
So that’s our choices up for this time, but don’t forget you can go to http://seenqueen.com/ which has a comprehensive listing of all the best clubs in town, not to mention plenty of news, features, music choices, reviews, video’s & pics, plus it is that time again as the “Your Disco Needs You” 2009 poll searches for the cream of the crop. So, if you haven’t voted yet, get down to it if you want to see your faves rise to the top.
As for our weekend, well it looks like being a very quiet & maybe bed-ridden one (steady) as we fight off the ravages of a chronic & crippling chest infection and the remnants of the flu (we’re not going oink!), but hope to be fighting fit for Pervert (watch for our “Hot Dates” post) & more next weekend. So, we wish the scene all the best in our absence, but whatever you are doing Friday through Sunday, have a blast and as we say.....Go There! Be There!
