Going to be in England (around london) for a month! Any recommendations? Posted on: 25.06.2012 by Valeri Holderness Hey guys, I'm visiting England for about a month and I'll mostly be around the London area. I've been doing some research as to what spots to check out and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions I'm into everything from heavy stuff, to disco/funky house, to older progressive stuff, etc. what are some of your are some of your favorite places around that area? also, are there any cool record stores or dj/music stores you would recommend checking out? | |

A lot of the greats in dance music have stepped through that little door and quite a few kicked off their careers there. It will also serve as a great place to get suggestions on proper, underground evening s out in London. Also check out Soul & Dance Exchange, Sister Ray, Rough Trade. |

| Warner Rotberg 27.06.2012 | No need to go to the big clubs. The atmosphere is in the smaller, more intimate venues! - The Oval Space (Bethnal Green, East London) NOT HACKNEY. - Village Underground (East London) - Brixton Clubhouse (with donut shaped roof terrace with DJs on as well) (Brixton) The Egg is alright as well, when its not 10am and seems to attract just about every weirdo in London. See if there is a evening on called Unleash when you're here. Its always at different venues. http://www.residentadvisor.net/promoter.aspx?id=22485 <<<< Unleash RA page http://www.residentadvisor.net/photo...leas/ul-90.jpg |
| Keli Muennink 27.06.2012 | check out cable under london bridge in the tunnel its a great venue and have some great drum & bass evening s |
| Valeri Holderness 26.06.2012 | ah so many great evening s going on haha! thanks for all the responses everyone |
| Maribeth Tidler 26.06.2012 | I would have a look at KOKO in camden - I believe it's an amazing venue! |

| Debby Ramshur 26.06.2012 | I like Corsica Studios - smaller, more intimate venue, seriously oversized Funktion One and a music policy that sometimes is ahead of times. If you're into Techno, I'd probably see Kevin Saunderson play here. This also sounds good if you enjoy some Berlin sounds. In general, Resident Advisor is a very good place to find events in London, so that's where you could search for yourself if you didn't do so already. |
