Sometimes certain places just need to have a simple setup. Just a decent-sized dancefloor, good lighting, great sound, a not-too-busy Bar area (and of course toilets!). And that's it. Village Underground nails it – I went a few weeks back to watch Skream's Open To Close gig there, all night - and it's a simple … Continue reading Venue Review – Village Underground, Shoreditch

Venue Review – Electric Ballroom, Camden
So here's a place I've been to quite a lot over the past few months - In the heart of Camden, directly next to Camden Town station and loads of Bus stops, it's quite renown primarily as a Music Venue, and is an absolutely HUGE place. As soon as you walk in, after the ticket … Continue reading Venue Review – Electric Ballroom, Camden
Venue Review – XOYO, London
I've been lucky enough to come here twice over the past few months and previously several years back - I'd come a few weeks ago to watch an Orchestra re-create some of Daft Punk's Greatest Hits as well as the following week to watch. XOYO is a legendary venue - many of the world's best … Continue reading Venue Review – XOYO, London
Venue Review – Notting Hill Arts Club, Notting Hill Gate
I've been here several times over the years, this past week I was there on a Saturday for a Disco Fever night (with some incredible 80s/90s Disco-fused tracks!) and knew I'd get to writing about it at some point! The layout of the venue is kind unique in that it's circular - as you go … Continue reading Venue Review – Notting Hill Arts Club, Notting Hill Gate
Venue Review – The Roxy, Rathbone Place
So a bit of a disclaimer - I have, and always will have, a soft spot for this place in my heart. I've been going there for many, many years - as it was a staple place to go if you worked in the West End - it's no-frills all-spills kind of experience - you … Continue reading Venue Review – The Roxy, Rathbone Place
Venue Review – 93 Feet East, Shoreditch
In the middle of Shoreditch - near Brick Lane Market/Record Shops - I was there for a Dance/House event a few weeks back, and been there previously for various events, and always a good place if around that area. The venue is split into an inside and outside area. As soon as you enter (kind … Continue reading Venue Review – 93 Feet East, Shoreditch
Venue Review – Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Bar, Soho
I've been to this place quite a bit over the past several weeks - mostly as there have been a lot of work-related conferences during the day, and during the evenings/nights they've had some special events. It's situated in the heart of Soho - ideally inbetween all good main streets/stations so really easy to get … Continue reading Venue Review – Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Bar, Soho

Venue Review – Phonox, Brixton
So I heard a lot about this place – from the guys that put together XOYO and other similar types of venues – but then I heard that they do special Sunday sessions, where they get really good (and I mean, REALLY GOOD) DJs doing all-evening/night sessions. I somehow convinced my friend to go a … Continue reading Venue Review – Phonox, Brixton
