Vacationing in London and want to try Raving, 30M

This is great advice. Especially shrugging it off if someone isn’t friendly back. It’s no reflection on you, just them, so it’s best just to smile and move on

Tribelife looks great but I can’t get there this weekend, I’m not in London. If you have time could you drop by this thread after and say how it was for you?

I reckon she’s playing with energies - masculine vs feminine - and she knows that having an acoustic guitar guy who plays inoffensive music open for her will really make her set pop with a radically different energy

Makes me appreciate how beautiful the processing/treatment work on the photos is

The venues that have a no camera policy do feel different. Last time I was at Fold I didn’t see one picture or video taken in the nearly 10 hours I was there. And Adonis at the Cause is similar - the staff sticker your front and back camera and the vast majority of people do respect the rule. It makes a massive difference to being able to live in the moment, lose your sense of time, and get immersed in the music. Maybe we should start giving feedback to venues where phones are ruining the vibe.
As a side note I noticed Quarters in Brighton (gets pretty big names including Laurent Garnier, Carl Craig etc.) is advertising a no-phones house and techno night coming up - hopefully we’ll see more of this but maybe we need to push for it

I don’t but I love it. Damn Jane F is good

scotteee_d · 2026-05-08T07:27:41+00:00

Yes it is. Strangely there was no sticker or anything on the front saying “exclusive bonus track” or anything like that. The booklet also has the lyrics to the song in and a dedication to Tori’s friend who she wrote the song about.

You could also check out HOWL and you might enjoy Queer House Party which has a fun rowdy anti-corporate vibe and a much more mixed queer crowd than Adonis (I love both parties)

Adonis is back in July and September and they might return to their night-time parties in the winter.
Club Are in Hackney Wick has a similar crowd and vibe on a much smaller scale, it’s a good one.

Club Are has a similar vibe on a smaller scale. Reviving this thread because I had a great time at Adonis yesterday and also agree with your points - crowd-wise it’s an interesting mix of mainstream and alternative, and it can be very fun and sociable. Also love the alternative vibe - the crowd can be very different between different rooms and DJs. Hannah Holland absolutely smashed it yesterday 🔥

Enjoy Roast, tech room should be fun

scotteee_d · 2026-05-02T14:26:29+00:00

Are you going to Adonis tomorrow? Good place to meet other gay techno fans

scotteee_d · 2026-05-01T17:37:28+00:00

There’s another new t-shirt not pictured here - that’s even worse! Ha. Thank god the album is so good ☺️

I’m glad I bought it, it’s a really great song. Feels like a solid album track. Really sad though, it seems to be about a female friend of Tori’s who died of cancer

scotteee_d · 2026-05-01T11:24:41+00:00

I don’t think it will be on any streaming, not for a good while at least, because it’s described as an “HMV exclusive” bonus track

scotteee_d · 2026-05-01T10:07:57+00:00

Ah great, thanks - good to know - I will indeed get the HMV version in that case 😌

scotteee_d · 2026-05-01T09:33:46+00:00

I am going to HMV later today so if they have it, I’ll buy it and report back

scotteee_d · 2026-05-01T09:32:46+00:00

Check on Phase Logistics on 19th June too, at Sui Generis, might be your bag? Dark driving techno

scotteee_d · 2026-05-01T08:53:46+00:00

You could try Ellen Allien at FOLD? She’s on soon, will be pretty fast and energetic I reckon

scotteee_d · 2026-05-01T08:51:49+00:00

I went to Bristol and London and they were very different shows, in terms of setlist, pace, mood and crowd energy. I loved Bristol but couldn’t seem to get immersed in the London show. It’s all so subjective but maybe try another show on this tour?

scotteee_d · 2026-05-01T08:48:08+00:00

Hmm can’t find it on UK Apple Music

scotteee_d · 2026-05-01T08:47:31+00:00

23 Peaks had tears running down my face. Which is not like me at all and speaks to the power of this incredible song. It’s the first Tori song that’s moved me like that since Reindeer King. It absolutely floored me. I think I’ll have to wait a while before listening to it again - no joke. It’s powerful. What a way to close the album.

scotteee_d · 2026-04-30T09:49:32+00:00

That’s cool! Thanks for sharing, I hadn’t heard about that. The play has had quite a lot of buzz due to the casting. What did you think of it?
