Vigsy’s Club Tip: Promised Land at Egg
By Paul Vig | Published on Friday 22 May 2015
This bank holiday weekend sees Promised Land go old skool with the ‘Respect Your History’ sessions, featuring Chicago’s acid house originator DJ Pierre and 808 State headlining the retro main room. And with a BBQ in the afternoon, plus four other areas playing deep house, drum n bass, classic garage and funky house, and with 80s soul, disco and funk in the garden, there’s something for everyone.
DJ Pierre is probably best known for his seminal 303 classic ‘Acid Tracks’, while his new single ‘The Underground’ with My Digital Enemy is also rocking dancefloors. Meanwhile electronic pioneers 808 State are always exciting to see on a bill – I think their 1989 single ‘Pacific State’ is one of my top 40 tunes ever, and these stalwarts of the Summer Of Love still know how to rock it.
Main room support comes from Trevor Fung, Philgood & Ram, Huck Finn and Mark Ruston. Meanwhile, the terrace sees Copyright from the mighty Defected stable spin some proper house music in the company of Arkoss, DJ Mets, Unorthodox and LED. And on top of all that, Egg’s club within a club, The Apothecary, will shake to the sounds of classic drum n bass with Movement’s Bryan Gee and EZM heading things up.
Sunday 24 May, Egg Club, 200 York Way, Kings Cross, London, N7 9AX, 6pm – 8am, £8-20. More info here.
