WEEKEND RECOMMENDATIONS FOCUS
IMPACT AT UNION
SATURDAY 24TH JULY
It has to be said that the real revolution in gAylist clubbing in the capital took a tremendous turn in Vauxhall, courtesy of Crash, an underground club at the time of its launch by Wayne Shires, really captured the imagination and laid down the foundations for a vibrant scene south of the river that pretty much remains intact to this day. Whilst Crash has sadly passed into the memories of the mind, there is a new kid on the block that is seeking to re-emulate the feel of Crash, combining the raunchy underground element and the mind-blowing music that made Wayne’s flagship trendsetter of a club the success that it was. Impact launches at Union (formerly Crash) in Vauxhall this Saturday (24th July) and aims itself “...at muscle men, sexy studs, beefy bears and everything in between...” promising a return to that Crash magic of yesteryear.
So what is this Impact branding based upon? Well, promoters Oliver Mohns & Steve Elliot have both been pretty active across Europe recently and have built associations with nightclub event Naughty in Brussels, Impact being modelled on this and other European styled dance & cruise parties. And with this launch party, the Impact brand will welcome Naughty who will centre-stage the theme of the night and, as the name suggests, should serve up plenty of disobedient & indecent activity, all in a good way. The night will fuse all the elements of this notorious Brussels based party, bringing to the capital plenty of sexual intrigue combined with masterful music that, in terms of a concept, should prove to be an absolute winner. And to get a feel of the event, why not check out the trailer video via http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=127982143900886#!/video/video.php?v=10150221474240198&oid=127982143900886 which definitely sets the scene in superb style.
In terms of the music, the promotions team are flying in one of Naughty’s resident D.J.’s, Francesco Bellais, who will land in on London direct from his base in Italy and will be set fair to deliver a definitive hardcore underground tech & tribal set that will certainly heighten the sexual mood within Union’s main room. Francesco’s D.J.’ing pedigree is considerable, having been famously head hunted by Madonna to remix one of her tracks and is credited with residencies at some of Italy’s biggest gay happenings, including Billy in Milan, Gay Village in Rome, Skylight in Verona & Pegaso in Catania, although appearances across Europe litter his C.V., Queen in Paris, Space in Madrid, GMF in Berlin & Propaganda in Moscow major highlights. So, his trademark tribal and tech sounds with plenty of electro & energetic influences should prove a real hit with the London crowd and the market Impact is aiming for.
The other big headlining act will be porn star Logan McCree, the man with more tattoos than we have had breakfast’s (well not quite!) and was part of the team of stars that made it to Hustlaball back in May, so returns to the capital sexual stomping ground to perform solo on this occasion, although will no doubt draw in a merry band of admirers to his stunning looks, incredible body paintwork that is his trademark. So the backdrop of the night will definitely be erotic & sexual interest & intrigue, especially with the special cruising area in the middle of the club, allowing Impacter’s to satisfy their desires and devotions away from the main room musical madness. And talking of the music, Mr Bellais will be joined by Oliver M, who will be exchanging his promotion duties for disc deck delivery, fresh from a magnificent performance at Cirque Du Salvation at Lovebox last weekend & also on the back of appearances at La Demence & Cologne’s Gay pride event earlier in the month and will no doubt treat the Impact audience to some prolific progressive, tech & electro beats as beefy as the blokes in situ. Others D.J.’s on rotation include the sexy & saucy Steven Artis who has laid down a special compilation mix especially for this Impact launch and is well worth a listen at http://stevenartis.podomatic.com/.
Now to the all important detail and Impact launches this Saturday, 24th July at Union in Vauxhall, with entry to the club on Goding Street (the old Crash entrance), doors opening at 11 p.m. and the club running through until 7 a.m. Advance tickets are on sale online at direct link http://evolved-events.clubtickets.com/gb/2010-07/24/impact-london or in Soho outlets Prowler, Clone Zone & DV8 as well as at both Barcode’s, priced at £10, but with availability on the door too. Further information on this event can be found at http://evolvedevents.co.uk, while to get the lowdown on club night Naughty and the influence it is likely to make on Impact, go to http://naughty-party.com/.
As we get final details on the D.J. line up for this Impact launch we will share it with you, but all that’s left to say is, Impact, it’s time to make one!! (DISCO MATT)
