  • Bugged Out at Fabric July 3rd: Brodinski Suck Mu Deck launch

    Bugged Out resided at fabric when it first opened in 1999 (our first guests were Daft Punk playing one of their last DJ sets and Erol Alkan came down as a punter!) and we threw monthly parties there with The Boutique for two years. As part of our 15th anniversary celebrations we return to Fabric for one night only to launch the latest in our Suck My Deck compilations - this one by young Parisian Brodinski. We also welcome Italian stallion Dusty Kid who will be playing live and Bugged Out residents JoJo De Freq and Matt Walsh. In rooms 2 + 3 are our good friends Kill ‘Em All and Bastard Batty Bass. Hot in the city tonight!

    Ok we’re about to lose our cherry to the brand new Cable club at London Bridge on Saturday June 20th…

    This club is perfect for Bugged Out, two rooms, ’bout the same size of the sorely missed End club, amazing sound, big but intimate enough to not lose your pals in… So for our first night at Cable we have the great Simian Mobile Disco on the cusp of their comeback with new single Audacity of Huge and album to follow which is called Temporary Pleasure. Come and hear some new tracks from them - loud! Simian have hand picked the supports with their U.S and U.K tour DJ’s respectively JDH & Dave P and Nadia Ksaiba with Stopmakingme who was brilliant at the recent Tiga party. Blimey that was a long sentence. Must pause for breath. Ok, over in room two we have the lovely Wang crew taking over with some proper electro stylings with pioneers of the genre Radioactive Man and Depthcharge (headman of DC Recordings). AGT Rave Cru, Electro Elvis, Ben Lyford and Luke Praz join the party. Enticing enough already Cable guys and girls…

Headlining is the legendary Pedro ‘Busy P’ Winter, MD of Ed Banger and long time Bugged Out friend. Joining Pedro is new Ed Banger signing Breakbot and also in the main room are rave titans Altern 8 who last played for us at Tiga’s Sexor album launch in 2006. Yet another legendary figure heads up room 2: Carl Craig and in the third room are London’s finest disco aficianado’s Disco Bloodbath. More guests to be announced.

    Now this is what a bank holiday is for, the double bill of the summer as Diplo’s Mad Decent Squad and Milan’s Crookers and friends hook up for a huge London party under two arches in a brilliant warehouse space. Diplo has selected a sterling line up to represent his Mad Decent label, there’s the man himself playing in London for the first time since last summer;  Fake Blood who caused a stir last year by keeping his identity a secret but his skills very much to the fore with the massive ‘Mars’, Skream - whose mix of La Roux is one of this years bombs – and Boy 8 Bit and Mumdance. Crookers also having played London since last year, even since their remix of Kid Cudi’s Day ‘n’ Nite went to Number 2 in January. They are taking a  break from working with Kanye, Kelis and Estelle on their debut album ‘Tons of Friends’ to fly over to play an extended set with their Milan pal Nic Sarno and an MC. Joining them are Riva Starr and London’s Bastard Batty bass girl Hannah Holland. This is one party you don’t want to miss out on! Boom!
