"It's democracy on the dancefloor, as punters get an opportunity to play half hour slots of Indie/Electro/Punk/Soul/Hip Hop and anything else they fancy. Anything goes if it's good! Email [email protected] to get involved."

None of this glamourous DJ nonsense. None of the bandwagon jumping. We play good music. And YOU can too.
Think of a new track you're bursting to share with the rest of the world. Think of those amazing early tracks by bands that now fill bloated stadiums. Think of those tunes you used to wait all night for in clubs that have disappeared out of fashion. Think of a divine mix of indie, classic pop, rock, soul, electro, punk, electronica, hip hop and everything in between that leaves you in a heap on the dancefloor at the end of the night. Black Tape plays these tracks, and then asks YOU to have a go at playing them yourself. Remember what it feels like to finish a mix tape for a friend and look at the tracklisting and just wish you could broadcast it to the entire world? Well now you can, at least to a bunch of like-minded people in a club.
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 email us at [email protected] with a sample list of tunes you might play, or bring us along a CD to one of our nights.
NO (SUPPOSED) SUPERSTAR DJs. NO TRANCE. NO PETS.
Maybe we'll play some of the bands in our influences list on the left...but, you know, it's kind of up to YOU.
