Plain & Simple present: The Definitive New Years events roundup

 

Shiva New Years Party @ The White House

At the centre of The White House’s New Years pledge is that any New Year’s Eve is all about ending the year with a bang. It’s about partying until the sun rises and the excesses of Christmas have been well and truly danced off.

Shiva’s New Year’s Eve is all about partying in the present and giving 2010 a deservedly unforgettable send off. They know it’s about bringing people together and conjuring happy clubbing memories. That’s their job, their mission.

Shiva’s NYE party last year was epic. The right balance of celebratory atmosphere, a fun-loving crowd and of course, top notch tunes. The White House was packed but not too packed and we all know how irritating that can be. The music was a mixture of uplifting house, electro and club classics with funk, disco and 80’s groove. Non-stop music across two lively rooms.

Shiva promise not to fix what isn’t broken by asking “why change a winning formula?” So they’re doing it all again! Prepare yourselves for a night of relentless revelry, emotional rollercoasters and like-minded people all with one goal – to see 2011 in, in style.

Downstairs will be a collection of uplifting house brought to you by Liam D, Muzz Khan, T-on-J, Fernando Bros, Richie Hodges and Andy Gates & Ata x 2.

Upstairs expect  a concoction of classics from 80’s Groove, to Funk & Disco. Spinning the decks will be Huckleberry Finn, Steve Feelgood, Steve Butcher, Fever, Steve Stritton.

Very Limited Early bird tickets are £15. Standard entry ranges from £20 – £30.

Good Times NYE Party @ Relentless Garage (North) & Clapham Grand (South)

After celebrating thirty funk filled years at The Notting Hill Carnival this year with one of the biggest and best attended carnival’s to date, Good Times is now rolling out this year’s New Years Eve celebration with two huge parties in London, one north, one south.

First, the North London venue is The Relentless Garage (and new to Good Times) in Islington. With a fat live music pedigree and full refurbishment in June 2009, The Garage has played host to many a fine line up and NYE will be no exception.

Next up, and South of the Thames will be the newly refurbished Clapham Grand, the venue of some legendary Good Times parties in recent years. It’s a magnificent Victorian-era listed building and one of the most stunning period theatres in the capital. A remarkable and memorable place to see in 2011.

After six previous sell out NYE parties all over London, including 2009′s hugely acclaimed warehouse party at Hearne Street car park which saw some amazing party scenes despite the sub zero temperatures, we know how hard (and expensive) it can be travelling around the capital on the biggest party night of the year.

So with that thought in mind Good Times are to bring the party to all our loyal fans this year with 2 special events at 2 outstanding London venues on the same night, making it much easier for everyone to see in the New Year with a Good Times bang.

London legends Norman Jay and Gilles Peterson will be playing both events, with guest DJ’s at The Clapham Grand being Terry Farley (Faith/Boys Own), Rudy Ranks and the Loud Minority DJ’s Russ & Melvo hosting the Altitude bar.

Guest DJ’s at The Garage include the Ladybugz and the Crate Diggers collective hosting room two.

New Years Eve @ Fabric

 

With the sun setting on 2010 Fabric have decided on taking the bold, brave and often brilliant performers who’ve graced our brickwork this year on into 2011. Kick-starting what promises to be a massive New Years Eve celebration at Fabric like only he knows how, is the long-serving German DJ Steve Bug, responsible for Poker Flat, Dessous and Audiomatique.

Joining him in Room One will be Panorama Bar and Berlin bass queen Cassy, whose vinyl-only sets are pure dancefloor magic. Minimal tech-house veteran Jay Haze, a Fabric-favourite will also be on hand to deliver an unforgettable NYE mix. By this point the party will be in full swing ready to see two Fabric heavyweights take to the booth Craig Richards and Terry Francis… A phenomenal way to say goodbye to 2010 and hello to 2011.

Spanish veteran Paco Osuna will head up Room Two whilst Heartthrob will be performing live earlier in the evening. A high energy set from USA’s Alexi Delano and similarly pumping mix from Matt Tolfrey will round off what is sure to be an epic Room Two at Fabric heading into 2011.

Finally, London’s Lo*kee will take charge of Room Three hosting three stunning back-to-back duo’s. Firstly the likes of Sebastian Voigt and Jozif will team up. Nisekay and Blind Minded will then take the stage before Louis Guilhem and Monchhichi Boys finish off an unforgettable NYE at Fabric.
