London nights out

Depends...
Hi there
Depends what you are after...
Seminal NY garage, chicago house and Detroit techno? Not a chance unless there is a specific one off night. Though there was a monthly (3rd Thursday?) old school night at the Big Bar, Brixton that used to rock... mainly underground house and non vocal garage.
Late 1991+ UK hardcore? Possible - one off nights, mixed with loadsa cheese. Might get the odd bit of Satin Storm, Renegade Soundwave stuff at these nights.
1992+ Hardcore and house? Possible, won't be anything other than well played ''classics'' though.
Funky house: UBIQUITOUS - its everywhere and taking London over.
Not wishing to spawn another debate, but one man's old school is another man's Jinny, Keep Warm.
I'm now in Amsterdam, never found any decent old school nights in London, which is why I make the trip monthly to www.hazydayz.com (next: Sat27th Aug) - it's so good I travel back from Dam each month. Try and get hold of some Hazy live mixes, you won't be disappointed.

Hi Brixtonite,
I understand what you mean about Jinny and old school. I need more definite in the style of tunes
It would be great to find someone who played early renaissance tunes. But straight house would good etc K class, Gat Decor, Mombassa etc.
Everyone on this board seem to rate Hazydays. I have been listening to the mixes on the website which are great! If I went it would be quite an adventure crossing the North/South divide and all that, also I don't fancy the drive home at 3am. Do you stay in a Hotel up there when you go.
What I really want to find is a Goodtimes or Hazydays night down South somewhere.
Thx
Mark

I hear ya
People keep telling me that there are old school nights on a par with Hazy all round the UK run by like-minded people. I've not found any. Well, none where you get true classics played such as at Hazy... GoodTimes, can't comment - never been.
If there were peeps looking to promote nights in the UK, wouldn't they post on a board like OSA? Most seem to be in the NW (well, there is the NW connection cos the board is run by them Northern types).
or the odd night down in London.
If you find any - let me know.
As for Hazy... its worth the effort - it's simple: if people travel from the length and breadth of the UK to come, and from overseas, either they're passionate about old school, or mad. Or both.
