Club Tip CMU Approved
Approved: Balance (CMU Friday Tips)
By Paul Vig | Published on Friday 31 July 2009
VIGSY’S CLUB TIP: Balance
The bi-monthly night, organised by the Wang guys, amongst others, takes over the newish Cable club near London Bridge. The last one did rather well by all accounts, and if the usual Wang nights are anything to go by, I expect this attracts the more discerning punter, those wanting to party to the best electro and techno tunes in town. They have some big names again – The Advent do a live set, and Drexciya’s DJ Stingray heads in, all the way from Detroit, he having previously recorded for Planet E, Clone, Rephlex and Mo Wax. Sandwell District, aka Regis & Function, bring it back to basics while Si Begg will be giving us some wonky techno and discotech, offering an inventive off kilter aspect to the night. Finally there’s Alexander Robotnick, an electro legend and Wang favourite, and he’ll be showing you what an Ableton DJ set is all about. Brilliant
Friday 31 Jul, Cable, 33A Bermondsey St, London SE1, 11pm-7am, £15 (£12 adv/concs), more at www.balance-club.co.uk

ANDY’S CLUB TIP: ULTIMATE POWER
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Ultimate Power is the most fun club night in London. It’s also a bit of a guilty pleasure, though. So don’t tell anyone, right? Listening to power ballads in your normal life is generally frowned upon. Doing so will cause people to question your taste and coolness. Well, what could be more cool and more tasteful than standing on a packed dancefloor, sweating profusely, one fist in the air, singing along to ‘I Want To Know What Love Is’ at the top of your voice? Answer me that. Nothing, that’s what. Which is why if you’re to have any chance of getting in tonight, you will have to get down early.
Friday 31 Jul, The Monarch, Camden, 8pm-2am, £5, more info from www.ultimatepowerclub.com
