Urban Clubbing Club

That still sounds like too much hard work, I only go out about 3 or 4 times a year.

I will just have to rely on you lot to tell me. Fez909 is quite a good scout.
I have my Dice set to London as that's the last place I bought a ticket for (Jazz Cafe) so it recommends me things for there, even though I live in Leeds. Also, just what OU said: RA and surprisingly, Facebook. Even though FB is boomer central these days, it's still the best thing for events I find.

How are you alerted from FB, through friends? I really only use FB professionally for special interest groups.
 
I reckon I could play jumbi. It's one deck? Confusing
One turntable is in the sound system tradition! No messing around with two decks and mixing, all about the selection!

Peckham? What’s the venue like?
It's cute. Definitely more bar than club. I thought the soundsystems in the main bar doesn't dnt sound great :hmm: I'm no real judge of such things though. Seemed very one sided?

stethoscope ah ok. I know they have the blurb about the selection being the focus. It wasn't working for me on that night in that setting. Possibly because I was primed for Finn and some pumping house from the early 90s :D Diana Ross Upsidedown was never gonna hit it!

There's a second bar area which had two decks and was a bit more pacey but I just wasn't feeling it.

Was super early to Carpetshop. Loved the stuff Finn played, really like his energy and selections. The other DJ was a bit more jersey club and dropped a few tracks that jarred...mainstream stuff. The crowd seemed happy enough. I was grinning ear to ear at some points though as it was just pure excellent early-mid 90s house n garage which is what I went there for.

Now so tired.
 
I've just had an amazing clubbing experience, but in a theatre.

It's called Club Life. Former DJ and member of Lemon Jelly, Fred Deakin tells the story of his life through his DJ and club experiences from DJing at awkward teenage parties to putting on clubs for thousands of people. He recreates these nights with the help of some dancers and the audience. Getting up and dancing is optional, but when we went about 90% of the audience did. Lots of people dressed up for it too. It was sooooo good. It's only on for another week at the Clapham Omnibus.

Just read about this in Jockey Slut - had me intrigued

Friends who have nights invite me to their events. And if you go to the events tab, it shows you events you might be interested in based on previous events you've attended. And it also shows me events which friends have said they're attending.

All of this is dependent on using Facebook in a way that you don't currently, by the sound of it. I don't like giving Facebook all of this info but it is genuinely useful to me, so it's a worthwhile trade off.

You could set up a second (semi anonymous) account, just for music related stuff and go all in with the algorithm? It's a bit trickier these days as Facebook wants to prove you're real. But it's possible as a mate did it.

I definitely don't want to set up another account or use mine socially. I'm old so most of my friends who used to promote, don't any more. And many if them go out infrequently and then often to something similar to what I like but not exactly.

So, Fez, it's up to you. Let me know if you see anything good for 13, 14, 21 or 27 December 😂
Typically Bodyhammer the 7th when I can't go.
