Diesel & Pollocks. Civic Solstice. Was On Sunday, June 20th. @ a secret location, From 6pm

On the eve of the Summer Solstice (20 June), a secret location in the heart of concrete London will be transformed into a modern day Stonehenge celebration in collaboration with Diesel, Pollocks and Gary Fairfull. Civic Solstice, the strictly private party, will allow the new high priests and priestesses of contemporary culture to reconnect with the universe through art, music, sacrifice and rituals.

A monolithic piece of artwork, created by Pollocks, will emerge throughout the night as a centerpiece for the event. Rising into the midsummer sky, it will be visible for miles around whilst installation work from visual artists Jem Goulding and Robert Montgomery will mark the coming together of the urbanites.

Tickets will be granted to a selection of Druids, Witches and Fairies, via our online application form. Loved-up guests can Be Stupid and wed in a pagan handfasting ritual performed by the High Priestess Johnny Blueeyes; join in the city's biggest acoustic jamming session (bring a bongo); cast spells with fairies and join in the rituals of old and new whilst indulging from the luxuries of our free bar, kindly sacrificed by Red Bull.

Wiggle. 16th Birthday Party w/ Terry Francis, Nathan Coles, Eddie Richards . Was On Saturday, June 19th. @ Paramount, 31st Floor Centre Point, New Oxford Street, London, W1A 1DD, 11pm - 7am

Come and Join us celebrate 16 wonderful years of Wiggle that have flown by at a scary rate!

For this very special 16th birthday party we thought we'd pull out all the stops and posh it right up on the venue front more than ever this time, and give us all a setting and a view that looks right over the city we love so much and has been home to Wiggle parties these past 16 years. Perched on the 38th floor.. don't look down!! Paramount, normally a private members club on the top three floors of the Centre Point sky scraper, is a gaff and a half. Add to that a 15k turbo sound system, no neighbours, an outdoor smoking terrorist... sorry terrace (don't wanna get that one confused on the 38th floor, do we now) a load of lovely Wigglers, and you've possibly got one of the best towering disaster movies ever.

Joining residents Terry Francis, Nathan Coles (The Birthday Boy) & Eddie Richards on the 1's and 2's, will be Raymundo Rodriguez (Jaded) and The Pushamann (Nature or Nurture) Raymond Isaacs AKA Raymundo Rodriguez is the quintessential London underground House music DJ… Being an avid record collector of all kinds of music from a very young age helped him forge an acute understanding of what it takes to keep dance floors moving. The last decade has seen Ray move from hosting shows on pirate stations such as House FM and Push FM to slots on Ministry Of Sound Radio and Galaxy FM, twin residencies for London's now legendary Sunday morning afterparty Jaded (now residiing at Cable), and Rome's state of the art music venue Room 26, as well as guest DJ slots in various clubs in the UK and all over Europe.

Warming the proceedings up will be The Pushamann, who has been causing a stir with his Nature or Nurture parties along side
our very own Terry Francis.

As we if we won't have done enough damage by the time this nights over, we will be having our official after party with Jaded at there new sunday location Cable, which finishes at 2pm... gawd help us all
More info on this down the line.

So there you have it all in a nutshell people.... see you there :O)

As summer (finally) approaches, we're pitching up at Rhythm Factory for more deep, heads down sub-bass shenanigans, courtesy of three of the brightest talents in the scene. Representing Berlin, London and Bristol respectively, they'll be dishing out brain-curdling doses of techno, dubstep, UKG and D&B - just the way we like it.

Topping the bill is a man we've been gagging to bring in since day one: the mighty Paul Rose, aka Scuba, aka SCB. Currently bossing the techno/dubstep/whatever hinterland via his peerless Berghain clubnight Sub:stance (which saw him deliver a stunning mixtape for Ostgut Ton back in January) and, more recently, the Killasan-abusing Horstflush parties, and generally ruling the proto/post-dubstep roost with his much-revered Hotflush imprint (home to the likes of Joy Orbison, Mount Kimbie and COLONY favourite Sigha), he's established himself as a key player in Europe's dance music underground. Factor in two superlative full lengths (2008's A Mutual Antipathy and this year's gorgeous Triangulation), a string of deadly twelves, and a kick-ass house/techno side project (SCB, fool), and you've got yourself a bona fide scene shaper. 2 hours behind the decks is a given. Support comes from two of the UK's most promising young producers: London's Tom Green, aka Rockwell, and Bristol's Luke Standing, aka Furesshu. Rockwell has quickly established himself as the next big thing in deepside D&B, with releases on Critical and Digital Soundboy (his new EP, Stowaway, is the bollocks), and forthcoming weaponry for Darkestral and Shoghun. A former resident at Cardiff's Aperture night, he's a rock solid DJ (check his recent Take Fight Club mix for evidence) and will be given a suitably deep-in slot to work his magic. Meanwhile, Furesshu - promoter of, and resident at, Bristol's excellent Seasonfive and Monochrome parties - has recently popped up with a top-notch 12" for Project Squared, incorporating dubstep, garage and four-to-the-floor textures the likes of which Dettmann and Klock have been caning, and which he'll no doubt be ploughing out on the night. Check.

As ever, residents MB and CB will be kicking things off, with visuals from the man Darkin and his partner-in-crime Foy, and rip-roaring sound courtesy of Rhythm Factory's banging Turbo Aspect rig. The club has come on leaps and bounds of late, with the likes of Peter Van Hoesen, D Bridge and Instra:mental set to grace its cavernous back room. Come see what the fuss is about.
