A Post Card From Tokyo

richkelly — Sun, 23 May 2010 11:34:09 +0000

Although we travel all over DJing there are places that draw you back for so many reasons; the people, the parties, the culture, the excitement, sometimes just the sheer atmosphere of the place, well Japan has all these qualities in its very own, unique way. And arriving 9 hours ahead of your usual time is quite a curve and adds to the sense of disorientation and wonder at all you see.

Womb is a special club. A dark room, a Steve Dash sound system (the American legend behind so many seminal US clubs) and fantastic lighting and most importantly, a very, very enthusiastic crowd… sounds a bit like Shake It minus the time difference! But the thing that a journey can do is give you perspective so all these things remind us of partying at home in London with all of you for Shake It!

Yes, it’s only 11 days to go until our next Shake It party on Sunday May 30th at 10pm at a new warehouse venue on Bocking Street. It’s a great space right by London Fields, a warm room, perfect for our Funktion 1 sound, it’s going to be a fantastic party, so for those without a ticket yet we still have some available for a very reasonable £12 from Ticketweb, Resident Advisor and Data Transmission.

Online this week we have the second part of our set from the April 1st party, which you can find on either our website or on Soundcloud, and don’t forget to enter our competition if you want to win free tickets to this party and the next one in July.

That about wraps it up for this week, have a fantastic week. See you all soon…

Layo.

We’re asking for you to send us via email, either a cool photograph or short video clip that has been taken at one of our parties over the past year. Which ever one we think is the best / funniest / coolest will win themselves not only two free tickets to the party on 30th May, but also for our following party on 1st July.

Please email your content to info@shakeitlondon.com by Thursday 27th July, winners will be decided upon shortly after.

Next Party Sunday 30th May 2010

richkelly — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 19:03:18 +0000

In our quest to not put down roots and to keep you guys on your toes, we’ve found an excellent new venue for you. The next Shake It takes place on Sunday 30th May (before you panic about having work the next day, it’s a bank holiday weekend!), this time out in the capital’s East End. This new warehouse is ten minutes walk from Bethnal Green Market in the heart of London Fields, off Broadway Market on Bocking Street. It’s a fantastic space, but after the sheer scale of April 1st we’re dropping the size of this party down and making it a little more intimate and underground affair, a little more “boutique” if you will. The line up will be the main Shake It players Layo & Bushwacka! and Omri H all night long.

Tickets will be going on sale this time next week, and there will be a limited amount of £10 tickets available to all you early birds out there. Don’t worry, we won’t let them go on sale with out letting you guys know first.
