I know the venue gets a lot of hate but it feels like they have listened and turned things around a lot?

Went there for Colorize last night, which naturally is going to get a nicer crowd (older, melodic heads). It was great!

Security were decent, sound was on point. No issues.

My take is that the quality/crowd etc of nights now is largely artist/label specific. But as a venue and overall experience, it didn't live up to the old rep.

If it matters, 38 years old, so would like to think I can present a reasonable review!

Tried to get tickets for Michael bibi Koko, signed up, logged on as you would, all tickets were sold out. Then a few weeks later you see them listed on TicketSwap for extortionate prices. It never used to be this bad. Where have these pricks come from?

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to go to Terminal V London on 23 October and thought I’d put a post out here to see if anyone else is going.

A little about me: I’m based in London, 25 and working in law and enjoy getting out just for pint now and then or working, discovering new music and meeting people from different backgrounds. I’m into the techno/rave scene and thought it would be nice to connect with a few like-minded people before the event.

If you’re going solo or with a group that wouldn’t mind another person joining, feel free to drop me a message. Would be great to get a small group together and make a day/night of it.

Always good to meet people outside the usual work circles.
See you there!

Hey everyone!

I’m thinking of creating an Instagram group for solo ravers I know quite a few exist already but I want to make a group with genuine people that have good intentions and just wanna have a good time on the dance floor — a space where people can connect, meet new people, share upcoming events, and find others to rave with.
Whether you’re a regular solo raver or going to your first event alone, everyone’s welcome!
If you’d like to join, drop me a message or comment your instagram below and I’ll add you! X

I’ve missed so many events because I had nobody to go with and was so scared to go solo. I can do pretty much anything else by myself - dinner at a busy restaurant, travel to a new city, go to the cinema etc, but for some reason I can’t bring myself to go raving solo. Part of it is because I am a woman so I am a bit concerned for my safety, and also I’m not sure what clubs are open to solo ravers. Any advice would be much appreciated!

As a disclaimer, I have gone to origins parties to see some great DJs and had a good time, but it seems like no other promoter gets a sniff for a lot of the DJs they book. They just announced 17 parties in October at pretty much every medium sized club in London of that category other than fabric. 8 of them all are night longs and there’s no interest in them pushing grassroots / upcoming talent in the slightest. Only thing they seem to do is have free ‘residents parties’ every now and then which does nothing for the scene. The monopoly of booking these DJ’s for 3-4 different clubs in London over a calendar year reminds me of the impact on the scene that Warehouse Project had in Manchester/Liverpool where everything started to feel more like a profit-focused event rather than having any benefit for the culture.

I remember a couple of years ago I was looking for something to do on a specific night and Origins had 4 parties on that night - two of them all night longs. The closer it got to the time, and two weren’t selling well and got cancelled. This can obviously happen to smaller promoters too but anybody starting from scratch without a good financial backing wouldn’t have been able to do this, and it’s obviously only a thing they can afford to do by having so many parties going. It’s been like this for a few years now and guessing that there’ll be a lot of small promoters / DJs / producers who’ve given up because of them. Less cash-focused monopolies on the London scene from now on please

Anyone go to this last night? How was it? Wanted to catch Margaret Dygas & Edward primarily but probably would’ve been sacked by not making in to work this morning lmao
