Club Tip CMU Approved
Approved: Notting Hill Carnival, Sancho Panza and after party
By Paul Vig | Published on Friday 27 August 2010
NHC 2010. From its inception in 1966 the NHC is now utterly massive. If the weather is bad the carnival is good but with sun shining its ace. Forget all the negative press about it – and check it out before passing judgement. There truly is something for everyone. The food and drink from the Caribbean is top rate (but often overpriced these days), but the floats playing soca, pan and calypso and reggae are amazing, and sound systems are briliant. Sunday is traditionally kids day and Monday is more of an adults theme but it is a school night! Sound systems are my fave, and to name a few good ones- here we go: Abashanti-I, CMC/ Matrix, Fun Bunch, Good Times, King Tubby, Rampage, Rapattack, and focus on one of London’s leading underground dance pioneers: Sancho Panza return to their favourite gig of the year. In their 17th year the boys will be showing off with their classic underground tunes old and new on their biggest weapon of two mountains of Funktion One bizness.
Expect unexpected top bouncy tunes a la carnival, an array of special guests, lots of smiley people all partying in the middle of the street. This crew won’t be stopping there as the street party which will be turned off by the council at around 9pm, will be followed by an exclusive shindig with Sancho Panza and Leftside Wobble presenting Carnival Top Up special guests: Crazy P (2020 Recordings), Matt Brown (Sancho Panza), Jimmy K Tel (Sancho Panza), Jonathan Moore (Leftside Wobble), at The Regent just a few minutes walk away…. whistles a must have, it’s carnival time.
Sunday 29 Aug, The Regent, 5 Regent Street. Kensal Rise, NW10 5LG, 7pm – 3am, £8 adv, £10 door, more info from www.sanchopanza.org
