I’ve not been for years.
How bad is security now? Makes sense as they’ve had deaths etc.
Heard stories about bouncers wandering around the dance floor and booting out fucked people.

Always on point as ever, Ed.
Bit disappointed you didn’t ID Themes from Great Cities and Bohemian Rhapsody though.
Security is tight going in as they had to make it so to get the license back from Islington Council.
Never seen any security dogs or anything. That was a bit of a myth….
As for bouncers kicking people for being fucked. Never, ever seen that. You’ve got more chance of being booted for having your phone out.
hugopal It was this track which was a loop of Freddie Mercury singing “is is is is is this the real life……” - he played it a lot in 99 and at some point I collared him and asked him what it was and he said some kid sent it to him on a CD . The underlying melody was really familiar but I’ve forgotten the name now.
Raven Maize is Joey Negro.
Strange but true.
nicksneddon Spot on.
wrongun Bicep on form. Somebody on the Bicep discord server recorded the set on his phone, it’s barely listenable (and a gig in size) but here it is if you want a flavour
With two young kids I’m a creature of the day now. Had to be back for swimming lessons in the afternoon!
Got in about half 2. No drama on the door. Pretty quiet inside as guessing the Saturday night crowd has dissipated. Lovely to have space to dance when Dix came on. Still prefer he was in room 1 but I suppose everyone wants the ‘low Dj boiler room vibe’ these days. Pretty decent set. Few weird prog tunes in the middle but last hour n half was solid.
The whole club was packed by 7. I went to get a drink when Dixon finished and someone switched the Techno button on. All three rooms.
I’ve tried with Techno, I really have. I’m just not cool enough for those kids.
Anyway, great to stop in for the birthday. Super chuffed with an afternoon with Mr Berkhahn. Off to Spain next week to escape this fucking rain.
