Club Tip CMU Approved
Approved: Christmas and New Year club tips
By Paul Vig | Published on Friday 20 December 2013
With Christmas coming up next week, you’ll have a few days to relax with family and to recover from the strains of the Christmas party season. But with the biggest party night of the year fast approaching, you’ll need to get back on the horse as soon as you can. So, to get you limbered up, I’ve selected a couple of nights worth checking out during the festive break, as well as my picks of the New Year’s Eve parties on offer.
Boxing Day: Back To 95’s Boxing Day Back To Back Special at Club Coliseum
Back To 95’s Boxing Day Back To Back Special is back, with six DJ duos head to head (or back to back, I suppose). The line-up features original Dreem Teem legends DJ Spoony and Mikee B; Scott Garcia b2b and Ray Hurley; Pied Piper and Mike ‘Ruff Cut’ Lloyd; Hermit and Daniel Ward; Jason Kaye and Listener; plus Chris Lavish and Jerry Rankin. They’ll all be flanked by a solid line-up of the scene’s best-loved MC’s, to transport you back to the old skool at Club Coliseum in Vauxhall.
Thursday 26 Dec, Club Coliseum, 1 Nine Elms Lane, London SW8 5NQ, 10pm-5am, more info here.
28 Dec: 2manydjs at Sankeys
Filling that weird gap between Christmas and New Year, 2manydjs will be hitting up Manchester’s premier dance venue, the newly reopened Sankeys. They’ll be joined by The Freestylers and other still-to-be-confirmed guests.
Saturday 28 Dec, Sankeys, Radium Street, Manchester, M4 6AY, 10pm-5am, £17.50, more info here.
New Year’s Eve: Bruk Out at Big Chill House
The Bruk Out crew usher in 2014 at The Big Chill House with the help of two of UK garage’s big hitters, Zed Bias and Wookie. The House will be transformed into a tropical playground, as beat obsessives Jus Now and a ten-piece Brazilian drum troupe also feature on the line-up alongside Bruk Out residents Nasty McQuaid and Mangno.
Tuesday 31 Dec, Big Chill House, 257-259 Pentonville Road, London, N1 9BL, 9pm – 5am, £20, more info here.
New Year’s Eve: Heavy Disco Meets Eat The Beat at The Star Of Kings
Heavy Disco Meets Eat The Beat will offer an intimate house party vibe at The Star Of Kings in King Cross. If you are into real house and disco, lap it up on two floors at this mid-size venue. Some real musical connoisseurs are on board, including West London’s original Ballistic Brother Ashley Beedle, plus Balearic Mike and Sean Johnston from ALFOS.
Tuesday 31 Dec, The Star Of Kings, 126 York Way, London, N1 0AX, 9pm-5am, £20, more info here.
New Year’s Eve: NYE House Party at The Social
The Social’s NYE event will be hosted by The Ragga Twins, who will create a house party vibe at this rather good venue just off Oxford Street. They’ll be joined by Rob Pursey of the Hip Hop Karaoke club nights and the Heavenly Jukebox DJs, Found A Cure and Mr Midnight.
Tuesday 31 Dec, The Social, 5 Little Portland Street, London, W1W 7JD, 9pm-5am, £10-£15, more info here.
New Year’s Eve: Holic at Café 1001
US Detroit techno visionary Dan Curtin and Berlin’s Panorama Bar resident Oliver Deutschmann land feet first on Brick Lane for Holic’s NYE bash, with Tomoki Tamura and many others. And if you’re looking for more party for your pound, this one goes on until 10am on News Year’s Day.
Tuesday 31 Dec, Café 1001, 91 Brick Lane, London, E1 6QL, 8pm-10am, £20, more info here.
New year’s Eve: Jamais Vu Party at a secret Shoreditch location
Stuck looking for a bit of drum n bass? Then look no further than the Jamais Vu NYE party, with Fabio, Bailey, Randall and Jumping Jack Frost. It’s a great line-up, all going down at an as-yet-to-be-revealed East London location.
Tuesday 31 Dec, secret location in Shoreditch, 9pm-6am, £20, more info here.
