So looks like Juno are keeping the website afloat for now, and later on the brands will merge... DJDownload.com, you will be missed!<br /><br />About town tonight? If you've had your ear to the ground/don't live under a proverbial nightlife rock, you'll know all about the Rabid Music festival at seOne tonight... anyone whose anyone from House and Techno camps, and everything in between... from Umek, Deepgroove, the WetYourself and Ketoloco peeps, and your familiar Shoreditch faces like FB Julian et al... tickets still (at time of writing) available <a href="http://rabidfestival.com/">here</a>... go go go!<br /><br />Other than that, head down to Egg if you're living in winter denial for<span style="font-style: italic;"> Key Of Life - Ibiza Calling </span>and let the house sounds of the island drain the rain from your shoes!<br /><br />And on a brief note, there's Trentemoller @ Matter, a hell of a lot of good dubstep over at the Rhythm Factory, and that stalwart Timo Garcia doing an exclusive jobbie at the frankly far-out Lightbox...<br /><br />So essentially bloody loads to do. Get stuck in. Forget about SAD and get on your dancing shoes... you know it makes sense... ciao for now!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9170543624358405483-2530254079378847868?l=igolocolondon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>iGoLocohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15860995288377350775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170543624358405483.post-21915537384830227882009-11-06T03:55:00.001-08:002009-11-06T04:12:36.436-08:00Another week, another dollar or lack thereof... and bleedin 'eck, govna, we're spoilt for choice tonight! Just a few of the corners of the capital that might intice your dancing feet and drinking bellies include...<div><br /></div><div>Border Comminity night @ Corsica Studios: Superb lineup for all you minimalist/electronica lovers... Nathan Fake, James Holden, Kieran Hebden (Four Tet)... if you haven't been down to Corsica yet, make tonight the night...</div><div><br /></div><div>Like it a bit racier? The Plump DJ's legendary HeadThrash night returns to Fabric, with Adam Freeland in tow and <i>Trouble &amp; Bass </i>presenting an eclectic mix of bassbin-bothering upstarts in room 2</div><div><br /></div><div>iGoLoco's recommendation? The awesome <a href="http://www.allez-allez.co.uk/">Allez-Allez </a>over at the Horse &amp; Groom, what with their classy yet off-the-wall mixup of all things 4/4. We like, a lot. Free before 11, for you student types :P</div><div><br /></div><div>Other news? well, the NYE lineups are beginning to emerge, and surely one of the big ones to watch is <a href="http://www.getloadedinthedark.com/">Get Loaded In The Dark</a> at the Brixton Academy... there really isn't another venue like it in London. Tickets are bound to sell out with artists such as Simian Mobile Disco, Chase &amp; Status and Sub Focus on the decks... if it's your kind of thing, I'd say snap up some tickets sharpish...</div><div><br /></div><div>Over yonder in Birmingham, Faithless are hitting up Gatecrasher for <a href="http://www.skiddle.com/news/all/Faithless-Live-at-Gatecrasher/4368/">this</a> special event... damn lucky brummies...</div><div><br /></div><div>Here's to the weekend... glug glug! :D</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9170543624358405483-2191553738483022788?l=igolocolondon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>iGoLocohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15860995288377350775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170543624358405483.post-84368178753654810632009-11-05T03:16:00.000-08:002009-11-05T03:39:37.991-08:00<div>... can't blame a guy for trying ;)</div><div><br /></div>Well this looks like the <a href="http://www.clubbing.co.uk/crowd/news-item.cfm/newsid/60">gig of a lifetime</a>: Prodigy, Pendulum, Chase &amp; Status et al.. at the Milton Keynes Bowl no less! Biggest gig of their career, 24 June, roll up roll up... if it's anything like their set at Glasto last summer, it'll be worth going to Milton Keynes for and getting lost in a maze of roundabouts...<div><br /></div><div>Also, Circo Loco announced a New Year's Day shindig for all you 'can't stop won't stop' types (it runs from 6pm-6am)... full article on DT <a href="http://datatransmission.co.uk/viewnews.aspx?newsID=3775">here</a>.</div><div><div><br /></div><div>In terms of not-so-good-news (haha), that Dutch trance atrocity Tiesto has announced he'll be playing a gig at Victoria park this summer.
