Dust off your crepes kidda, there's some parties going down...

As I'm currently on my weekend rota of working, to comfort myself from this horrible fact I've been excitedly going through what nights I'm planning on hitting when they come around...

What follows is a fresh and upfront selection of some truly ace nights and parties that are going to be happening within the next month and through October - as always, i urge those of you who have the means and an incline for good times, if you're local or just fancy a fucking good time then get your maneuvers sorted and give these a visit...

Motion Terrace, Bristol - Friday 17th/Sept

Okay, without trying to sound like a complete lemon, Soul Clap are probably up there as musical hero's to me. Hailing from Boston in the U.S. their unique blend of soulful tones and deep grooves have these marked out to me as the ultimate party DJs. The Soul Clap podcast series is one that is jammed full of class mixes from the boys themselves and a host of other quality underground DJs from the world over. Soul Claps release 'The R'n'Free edits', containing one of my fav records ever 'Kissing Game' has gone down as one release that's been talked about at many an after party. With their new release just dropped on Wolf and Lamb Black label, the dancefloor destroying edit of Jamie Foxx's 'Extravaganza'... This is one party not to be missed. Unfortunately for me, I'm having serious grief getting the Saturday off from work but I've decided that I'll just drive over and back after their set if i cant get it off as I'm not sure when I'll get another chance to catch Soul Clap again. A wicked setting for the party on the infamous Motion Terrace and hosted by the messiest party in Bristol, Breakfast Club - This should come top of the list of anybody serious about getting down...

Backroom (The Vaults), Cardiff - Saturday 18th/Sept

With the Heady heights of Fridays shenanigans hopefully fresh in my head, Saturday night will be spent at the now homely feeling night of Cardiffs very own Backroom. Bringing in another massive booking for the Tech-House heads that Cardiff has in abundance, Cassy of Berlin will be headlining the Main Room with support from residents Dave Little and Clare James. The eagerly anticipated second room will be making its debut on the night with Melon claiming top spot for what promises to be the usual messy and fun time antics in the freshest bank vault on the planet!

Delete @ Undertone, Cardiff - Saturday 24th/Sept

After the superb time had at the (recently blogged) Garden terrace party provided by Delete, I'm very much looking forward to getting into the compact venue that is undertone to get some Matt Tolfrey style partying done with a Cardiff crowd that knows no bounds when it comes to enthusism for smashing it. However, with work pending again it's touch and go that i'll definately be in attendance, but you can bet your bottom dollar to a barndance that if the green light is granted, i'll be there. Another party that should be on your radar if your found wanting for some quality underground music and good times.

Futureboogie, Metroplolis Bristol - Friday 1st/Oct

Futureboogie and Horse Meat Disco? One word... THERE. Already sorted this one out so no panicking about having to work etc, I really can't wait to get back over the Seven and onto the cracking streets of Bristol for a hefty serving of Disco and grooves. FutureBoogies Joe 90 and El Harvo will be lining up with London's infamous Disco party institution and favorites H.M.D. for what promises to be a night of high end octanes and down right goodness. Seeing as this is only on until 3a.m. near by Dojo is hosting Cottam on the same night, offering up some very late / early morning options.... Oh well, I guess that's the after party sorted then.

Warm, Corsica Studios London - Saturday, 9th/Oct

This is probably one of the most eagerly awaited all nighters I've ever had the privilege of having tickets for (I literally bought them weeks and weeks ago such was my longing to be at this night!) The Warm 11th birthday at the impossibly cool Corsica Studios, complete with a line up that's so galactic you'd be mistaken to think the party was getting thrown on Saturn. With such a heavyweight line up including the likes of The Revenge, Mark E, Cottam, Sebo K and H.M.D. this is going to be BIG! A return to the capital once more and a weekend of memorable times no doubt... I may even get in some cheeky shopping time.




Well Ladies and Gents, Scholars and Rogues... These are the nights that are causing a fuss in my world at the moment. Make sure you check them out if you have the chance and ensure those Dancing Shoes are in tip top condition as, believe me, you wont be sitting down!


Keep it tasty.
