It’s been a strange couple of months. People leave, people arrive, people leave again. The rain hasn’t stopped. Clubs have been unpredictable. But the sun is shining (well it is right now, dunno how long it will last) and the Festival is coming. So to get you in the mood…

This month we have the Dogtooth girls DJing for us. Dogtooth is an “Ultra-fashionable new wave night-spot” according to the NME. They like all that new/nu rave stuff. We kinda do, but we like our old skool rave too. So there’s going to be a little DJ battle, Dogtooth vs Black Tape, nu vs. old skool, good vs. evil, etc etc. It will be fun. Bring yr dancing shoes, and yr day-glo too (if you must).

Before that we have Ally and Ewan, aka Men and Machines. As well as decks they DJ using laptops and all kinds of machines that we aren’t all that familiar with, and they have strobes and stuff. They play pretty banging electro to dance your ass off to. You may have seen them before at Black Tape.

And before that will be some seriously odd DJing from the Black Tape Usherettes. They’re the ones that give you the free confectionery, cake, and knowing looks. They like their indie and dance music, but they also like their pop. Gets people dancing.

And right at the start you’ve got residents playing some new stuff they want to give an airing, as well as some old familiar favourites. So get down early.

We hope to see you all there
