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.

Plastic People and Ministry under threat

Two London nightclubs face potential closure after threats to their licence.

Police have asked Hackney Council to review the licence for Plastic People in Shoreditch on the grounds of public nuisance, crime and disorder issues.

I've never experienced anything but good vibes at Plastic People. In fact, I remember my first night there: when the lights of the pitch-black dancefloor were switched on at the end, I was surprised to notice the crowd was more geek than ghetto. It's certainly no drugs den.

Additionally Ministry of Sound has launched a battle against property developer Oakmayne, which is planning to build residential flats opposite the brand's south London nightclub and head office. If the development goes ahead, Ministry could lose its entertainment licence to ensure residents get a good night's sleep. To sign the petition, click here.
