Club Tip CMU Approved
Approved: East Village’s Second birthday
By Paul Vig | Published on Friday 19 February 2010
Shoreditch club East Village sees in its second year in business with five nights of awesome programming, all worthy of attending in their own right. It all kicked off last night, but there’s plenty still to come.
Tonight Gilles Peterson’s label Brownswood is in the house. On the bill are Lukid (Werk Discs), Pangaea (Hessle Audio), Simbad, Mamko Motto (Kindred Spirits) and the bPm (Soul Jazz), while in the Flamingo Lounge you’ll find Stuart Patterson and Cut + Shut Disco playing some deep house and disco. Saturday is the venue’s actual second birthday, and they’ve got a big hitter flying in from NYC to celebrate – Quentin Harris – who takes control with a four hour DJ Set with support from resident Stuart Patterson. Upstairs David Hill from Rootikal will join forces with Jimbo, aka Raw Deal from the rather good Walking In Rhythm and Groove Sanctuary nights.
Sunday is free entry for The Surgery, Dr Bob Jones and Mark Webster’s wonderful all day soul session with guest Ginger Tony. Dr Bob has been DJing for over four decades and knows a thing or two about soul music, and is a jolly decent fella! And finally, on Monday, is the aptly named The Monday Club with V Recordings – perhaps the most interesting of the birthday nights. There’ll by drum n bass from Valve Records boss Dillinja, V Records honcho Bryan G, original back in the day guru the Jumpin Jack Frost, Ruffstuff and DJ Probe, plus MCs Dynamite, Funsta, and Darrison will be in the house.
Friday 19 Feb to Monday 22 Feb, East Village, 89 Great Eastern Street, London EC2A, prices and opening times vary, more info from www.eastvillageclub.com, press info from Rosalia at Ferrara.
