CLUB TIP: United House Fundraiser for Tsunami-Aid
The club tip is a year old today, so it's apt we've got a special tip this week. Turnmills is a good venue on any night, and on this night everything that is happening there is for charity, so there's a double reason to make the effort. With the support of the likes of DJ Mag, Defected, House FM and Pure Dance the confirmed line-up for this benefit so far includes big name
Sandy Rivera from Defected, a live PA from Kathy Brown performing her rather sacrilegious 'Strings Of Life' rework (more on that below - I am warming to it actually), another live PA from the legend that is Robert Owens, Garage titans Bobby & Steve and the soulful Reel People performing live. Also on the decks will be Copyright and the Audiowhores. Worth having a sore head on a Friday morning for, and all for a damn good cause.

27th Jan, Turnmills, 63B Clerkenwell Road, London, EC1M 5NP,
10pm - 3am, Suggested donation: £8, info: 020 7250 3409 and http://www.united-house.org
CHRIS'
CLUB TIP: Remix Night
Don't go forgetting, Xfm's Remix Night has moved nights. Yep, from this month Cargo's longest running regular night is on the third Friday of the month, which the clever counters among you will realise means tonight. It's a 'Dig The Nu Breed' special with some of the Remix team's tips for 2005, including the very great breaks DJ team that is The Breakfastaz plus no less than three live bands: Vatican DC, Little Barrie and Weapons Of Mass
Belief. Should be a good'un.
