Black Tape Goings On Sneaky Pete's, 73 Cowgate, Edinburgh, EH1 1JW

Just a quick update to let you know what is happening with Black Tape and related stuff at the moment. After a really fun and successful first birthday party last month, Black Tape returns this Friday with the usual eclectic mix of DJs and tunes, cake and sweeties, and general stupidity. We have some really great DJs and we hope to see you there. Remember it’s cheaper before midnight.

If you fancy trying your hand at DJing (no experience necessary) at one of our future nights, please drop us a line at hello at this domain.

After a false start 2 weeks ago, we started our new weekly night last Tuesday. Tonight is the second installment of Red Tape. Red Tape takes place at Red bar on the Cowgate (beside Opium) and consists of Black Tape DJs and friends playing a very eclectic mix of indie rock soul funk electro dance hip hop in a laid back midweek environment. And best of all it’s FREE ENTRY all night. And the drink is cheap. We hope to see you there.

It’s a few weeks away yet, but we also wanted to mention that Black Tape DJs will be DJing at a new soul night at Henrys on Monday 3rd December. More details to follow.

Black Tape is coming to an end. It’s been a messy, chaotic and amazingly fun two and a half years, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned, and wish Guns ‘n’ Roses had too, it’s to stop before you get shit. So on Friday 5th June, we’ll hold our last ever club night.

It will feature 3 great bands from Bonnie Scotland, followed by a dance party in which we and all our friends will play our favourite records, and the aforementioned mess, chaos and fun will ensue.

Playing live for us will be the quite brilliant MITCHELL MUSEUM, along with Stonehaven’s finest, the wonderful COPY HAHO, and to launch their forthcoming second album on Bella Union, MY LATEST NOVEL.

Yes, we did a little wee too. It’s a rather formidable lineup, and you’d probably be wise to join us at Sneaky Pete’s for the occasion.

Indie / electro / punk / soul / dance / hip hop / blah blah blah

We are giving half-hour DJ slots to anyone that wants one - providing you can make an impression and make people dance. If YOU want to DJ at Black Tape, please with a sample list of tunes you might play.
