Raindance secret warehouse rave

Call yourself a real London raver? In that case you should know all about Raindance, one of the city's longest-running parties, which until recently was held at SeOne club in London Bridge.

Raindance is a mish-mash of all things old skool: hardcore, drum n bass, jungle, acid house and then some. It is one of the last true bastions of an era that gave birth to underground club culture as we know it today - as well as the notorious Criminal Justice and Public Order Act (anyone under the age of 20 won't have a clue what I'm talking about. Look it up.)

Dance music gods Prodigy are quoted as saying that in their early days, only two things concerned them: 'getting a record out and playing Raindance'.

But I digress. The reason I'm harping on about this is because Raindance, or more specifically its Jenkins Lane arena, has taken a new tack. It's breaking loose to host a secret warehouse party on Saturday 3 July - and it looks like fun.

Among the lineup will be the lovely Ellis Dee and Niki Dimensions (two of the nicest chaps on the planet). There will also be a live PA of classic stomper 'We Are IE' plus graphic design legend Pez will be putting up his original artwork for all you flyer whores to gush over. I will be one of them.

I insist you all come to this party. For details, head to www.secretraindance.com.
