A pretty little venue tucked behind Clerkenwell road. The EP Lounge feels and looks like a gallery. The walls are white. There is scope for small parties or even some after parties could hold a tenancy quite well in this bijoux environment. Capacity for 250 peeps so ideal for first ventures into party land.

Loop is a new kid on the block offering break beats and funky grooves. Better attended than other first nights I have been recently. If truth be told it felt like you were at some pal’s house party. Good VJ-visuals through out the night and a quality gang of DJs. Notably “Rennie Pilgrem” an old master of the decks. Yeah he’s been around in the break beats scene for years! He was the headline act here.
The overall feeling between the DJs was of sharing and mutual appreciation without any competition usually associated with some nights. Very friendly even for a stranger coming off the street.

Loaded with electrifying energy, the androgynous “Sidetrakka” was full-on with loads of attitude and very entertaining. “Disco Patrick” fresh and innovative as ever, kept my feet glued to the boards with a big smile on my face.
Well now we have to see if Chris and Martin and all the crew carry on this party. It has potential to soar in the break beats arena and make its own statement.

Bit down and funky with eclectic flashes of pop, hints of disco with some electronica created a salad that was served to everyone’s appreciative delight. Cooling down with mates, we sat with our backs against a backdrop of fluffy furry walls in the basement chill out room and in the glow of iridescent white walls of course!
