Uber in London – Revisited

A little over this time last year - after the initial decision by TfL not to renew Uber's licence in London - there was a lot of people predicting the end of Uber. Lots of stories about drivers now looking for work (endless abandoned Toyota Prius's!), many people saying it's the Authorities taking a stand …

Review – Studio338, Greenwich

A venue which has been hailed by many as an 'Ibiza-style' club in London, it was actually destroyed by fire around two years ago, and reopened in the summer of 2017 (in which seeing the Phoenix mural on the way in made total sense), I've been following the many big-name electronic/dance music acts that have …

Review – Fabric, Farringdon

I finally got round to going to Fabric a few weekends ago, I have been meaning to go since it re-opened in 2017, and was always keen to see what changes had gone on there, since the well-publicised closure and then re-opening, with a new approach. I wasn't disappointed! We got there unusually early (around …

Festival Review – South West Four, Clapham Common

Billed as one of the biggest/best electronic music festivals in London, I had high-hopes for this - I've never been previously but lots of people I know had been in the past and said it's a great event, so was looking forward to it, also being the final festival of the Summer for me too. …

Festival Review – 51st State Festival, Trent Park

This is one of those Festivals where there were fly-posters literally everywhere for this, promoting quite a stacked line-up of House & Dance Music DJs, most of which geared towards 90s-early 2000s acts so would attract an older audience (...including me!) Located in Trent Park, literally 10-15mins walk from Cockfosters station, my friend and me …

Festival Review – Lovebox 2018, Gunnersbury Park

Quick Note:- This is a relatively short review as me & my friend only went on the Friday evening - not on the main Saturday afternoon - when most of the fun is! Oh the photos look gloomy only because it was overcast, and a few hours later, it started chucking it down! I've been …

Festival Review – Community Festival, Finsbury Park

Festivals in London are few and far between, as there is a 'peak time' for them between June & August. It's challenging too, given that London's parks are too massive so any festival running in London will have some issues with overcrowding, etc I came to Finsbury Park on Sunday after hearing a lot of …

The Rise of the D-I-Y Event

I was in Bristol over this past weekend – home of a lot of UK's musical talent is and a big hub for club culture – and got chatting to a friend-of-a-friend who turns out to be a venue promoter. He mentioned the rise of big promotion groups/companies are cannibalizing the ‘indie' gig/nightlife economy – …

Review – Zebranos, Carnaby Street

Now here's a place I've been to countless times over the years for Birthdays, Leaving Doos or just a place to hangout on a Thursday night! A regular haunt for those around the West End area, and also a place that hasn't changed at all over the past 5+ years, which isn't a bad thing …

The Funniest/Worst/Infamous Nightclub Promo Videos of All Time

One of my friends is currently in the process of opening up his own Bar and is considering filming a promo-video of some kind for it - to which I reminded him that you don't want to make it like the infamous 'Bounce by the Ounce' video that came out a few years ago. On …
