Gravity Skank is out of the office

Hey hey skankers! Just a little note to explain why Gravity Skank hasn't been updated in yonks.

I'm not living in London at the moment - have temporarily relocated to another hotbed of awesome music, Melbourne. And a site about the clubbing scene in London just wouldn't be right if it was written from the other side of the world, right?

Meanwhile you may get the occasional post from our resident ravers Guide One and Redy2Skank. Guide One's mixes are definitely due a download so go check out his Soundcloud here.

Otherwise folks, keep those LDN dancefloors bumpin' and I'll see you on the other side...

Hello

So Gravity Skanker No.1 has given me the freedom of the blog.

DJ nights at Somerset House

One of the best attractions in London is Somerset House. I adore that place. As well as its year-round arts programme the riverside venue hosts a series of awesome outdoor film screenings in summer and the gorgeous skate rink in winter.

When I saw the listings for this year's ice skating DJ nights I did twirls of joy. My ex radio partner Edward Adoo is playing on Friday 17 December, and my super cool homeboy DJ Guide One of hip hop collective IRS is music maestro for Saturday 18 December. Both of them are brilliant DJs with an eclectic repertoire and some of the most knowledgeable music brains in the business. Strap on your skates and get your glide on, I urge you.

Other DJ night hosts include Ministry of Sound and Eat Your Own Ears. For more details, click here.
