new thing happening... keep an eye
on this page.
"Before east London became the destination du jour for hipster doofuses, Brixton held sway as the number one night spot in London with the Dogstar its focal point. Some years later, the Dogstar is still going strong and has recently undergone a revamp (much needed, some would say) with a charity shop boudoir look and the reopening of all three floors. Saturday night jump off Hands Up! takes the limelight with a splendid lineup. Daddy G from Massive Attack joins Disastronaut and Duncan from the Zzonked Soundsystem in the main room for some raw block party action which is likely to test the shiny new 12k soundsystem. Room two has a special guest from the Ed Banger stable in Vicarious Bliss. He is joined by John Power (Furthur Promotions) and wrongtom, tour DJ for Hard-Fi and responsible for Cassetiquette, so far one of this year's best mixtapes, with proclaimed "ingenues of the indie-electronica new wave" Enemy Voices also performing live. In the VIP room, Lina Riot, Dogstar resident and DJ for new Brixton indie night Long Slow Kiss On The Lips, is joined by professional ligger tonypoland (Slutty Fringe) and likely to be playing all sorts of scenester music." - KultureFlash
Few venues can claim that they've held parties so full-on that the ceiling has collapsed in the middle of the night yet Brixton's Dogstar is one. The sprawling three-level club had fallen on hard times since it..s mid-nineties heyday, but it finally looks like the old place has turned a corner. A complete refit has got it looking better then ever, but more importantly the lineups are back up to kind of ceiling-demolishing standard they were a decade ago. This Saturday, in a filthy disregard for genre they've got hip-hop and breaks from Massive Attack's Daddy G, Parisian electro from Ed Banger Record's Vicarious Bliss and in the centre of the whole three-ring circus the ringmaster, Sonic Mook's infamous Disastronaut. - Le Cool
