Clubs; AFTER DARK
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Cross hosts Sugarcandy tonight; anyone who went to their '98 Gala will doubtless be there and if you weren't there you can't say you weren't warned. Exotic, erotic and debauched are three words to describe this gig - a cross between Pushca and Sleaze Nation, but twice as good, with a little bit of everything thrown onto the Technics. The 1998 PLASA Show Mixing Competition kicks off at Earl's Court tomorrow promising to launch an unknown spinner into stardom. Well, it might not be to stardom, but the winner will get a expenses-paid trip to Paris to compete at the Mixmove event. The best spinners in the world come from the UK, I kid you not. Get down there to watch the turntables burn. Air begins a new residency at London's Blue Bar this Friday, offering basslines, breaks, beats and bagels ... Never heard of the Blue Bar? It hasn't been in existence for too long but is the latest London venue to change names since the original Blue Note club disappeared. Formerly the Crossbar, The Blue Bar could well offer a closer translation of the original Blue Note feel than the new Complex venue. Its main advantage is that it's much smaller. Well worth checking out. The Magic Bus returns later this month. Their rebirth at London's Stiff Club heralds the return of legendary label Acid Jazz, which, back in 1991, helped start the career of many acts, including Jamiroquai. They're promising more of the same and a limited edition EP to mark the occasion - a must-see gig.
