Hey Folks,
Well having had such a ram-packed “love” weekend, with no less than six separate events under our belt, we have just recovered in time to look (in slim-line form) at the forthcoming weekend which is already upon us. And true to form, there is plenty going on and a real birthday theme to our latest post, so with two clubs celebrating, they get our focus, but we also run down other options that have grabbed us.
First up is The Eagle, which celebrates 6 whole years of entertaining south of the river. And, the venue that has seen a number of incarnations in its long history is probably the most successful in its current format, the previous guise of South central very much in the past. With a whole host of club nights on offer, there the very successful Horse Meat Disco, which is close to reaching iconic status, providing a brilliant retreat from mainstream clubbing in Vauxhall on a Sunday, with a eclectic yet party head crowd virtually every week. Then, Carpet Burn occupies Saturday night and whilst still relatively new compared to its Sunday sister, has nevertheless attracted a loyal following and a reputation for great music and an alternative feel. Friday’s are normally given away to Tonker, which has been one of those influential club nights that has spread itself across the scene in a variety of venues, but has really cemented its reputation for attracting a very horny up for it crowd of beefy bears & hirsute hunks, with resident Tim Jones spinning the sounds but inviting a variety of scene favourite D.J.’s to guest. And if that wasn’t enough, Deep Inside delivers just what it says on the packet, a rauchy sexy night for men to meet their match. So, this Saturday (20th Feb) sees Eagle let its hair down and celebrate in style, with D.J’s that feature across the various club nights the venue runs, Jim Stanton, James Hillard & Luke Howard in charge of the decks for the night, with a special selection of disco & pop party anthems, while the team lay on free birthday spread of food as well as splashing out on a huge Vodka Ice Luge on the bar for the punters to sample. The party kicks off at 9 p.m., running through until 4 a.m. and entry is free before midnight (a birthday bargain) and £4 after. General details of the venue etc can be found at http://eaglelondon.com/.
Our other focus goes to Juicy, which marks four magnificent years of clubbing splendour at Fire in Vauxhall this Saturday (20th Feb) with a spectacular party. Juicy was the product of the demise of Action, which had been a big part of the clubbing landscape for a number of years, the two promoters going their separate ways and Andrew Harris turning his hands to a new venture which got the immediate support of Craig Elder and The Orange Group. And so, Juicy was born and heralded a new direction in Saturday clubbing at Fire, adding to the band of other successful monthly outings at Fire, but has probably been the most prolific, with Mr Harris at the helm, sporting probably the best lighting & pyrotechnics of any club night. Add to that the sexy go-go dancers that Juicy has become famous for, not to mention the infamous “Juicy Men’s Room” were you can tickle more than your fancy with one of the horniest & good-looking crowds that any club night in Fire attracts, so plenty to tempt you in. Although the core of its popularity over the years has been the music, with a resident D.J. list that sports some of the biggest names across the scene, including Steven Artis, David Jiminez, Gonzalo Rivas, HiFi Sean Dickson, Rob Sykes and the legendary Steve Pitron, who has produced a special compilation mix for this special 4th birthday celebration (we will have more on that in our “music” post). And all these talents will be playing out on Saturday night, but will be joined by superstar D.J. Paul Harris, who will take centre stage in the main room. But it doesn’t stop there as you can take your sample of the music home, with a limited edition Juicy CD handed out to the first 500 through the door. The club starts its pumping party filled birthday bash with doors opening at 11 p.m., running through until a heady 8 a.m., with entrance at £12 on the door, but with flyer discount offers, and £10 advance tickets on sale at Prowler, Clone Zone, DV8 & The Box, or online at http://clubtickets.com/.
So, what else is on offer this weekend? Well we have already covered Profile & Lo-Profiles activity on Friday (see our “hot dates” section) but Soho also sports “Eurocreme” which launches “Studio X” at Ku Bar, while its another “Therapy” session at Shadow Lounge with Kris De Angelis the focal of attention, Barcode have another “Cave” night, whilst “Lady Lloyd’s Love Box” serves up poptastic action at The Edge. Down in Vauxhall, on the eve of its birthday, Eagle host another “Tonker” party, Boogaloo Stu takes over The RVT with an a-typical whacky party called “Sploosh-A-Ram’s Custard Creme” while the new look “Onyx” entertains with special guest, the Italian stallion Pagano taking centre stage and then A.M. polish off Friday and take you into Saturday with another audacious afterhours outing. Saturday and Lo-Profile come a little back down to earth after their “SuperMartXe” themed Friday, with Gonzalo & Alessandro on the decks, while its another “Inferno” night at The Shadow Lounge & its gets all Fabulous at Ku Bar with The Edge having a Dusty O experience with their club night “Boudoir”. Barcode Soho looks like being popular, with scene favourite Brent Nicholls back from a cold Canada to warm your Saturday night with some sizzling sounds, while down in Vauxhall, apart from the birthday bashes, “Duckie” offer that alternative feel at The RVT, although if it’s something entirely different, why not head the The Egg in Kings Cross, which plays host to “Wearable Art”. Sunday dawns with another (surely) brilliant Beyond at Area (you know the story!) and then heralds another “Decadence – The Secret Society” party at No5 club on Cavendish Square, with Mark Bambach & Andrew Elmore in charge of the decks, The RVY serve up a S.L.A.G.S./Chill-out” session, while Horse Meat Disco try & work off the birthday hangover at The Eagle and “Orange” end another action filled weekend with their own brand of grown up partying at Fire, leading you deep into Monday morning and another working week. Details of all these events can be found in the popular press.
So, that’s our slim-line choices up for this weekend but don’t forget that you can get full details of the best gAylist events across the capital at http://seenqueen.com/, which has a diary listing stretching well into March, as well as a whole host of other features, pages, news and (our) reviews on tap, so well worth a visit.
As for our weekend, well we wanted it to be a quiet one, but, it already started as nothing like with a fantastic social soiree of a night at “Industri” last night, so have to thank Minty for her fabulous hospitality and Brent Nicholls for some great music & chat to match. Tonight, we will be popping into Profile & Lo-Profile for “SuperMartXe’s Samurai” pre-party and tomorrow may swing by Barcode Soho to get sizzled with Brent Nicholls, also possibly being tempted Juicy for their 4th birthday and guess if we do someone will drag us kicking and screaming to beyond afterwards. So, if you see us out come say hi, but whatever you are up to, have a great weekend and as we always say......Go There! Be There!
